I’m trying to build a demo about the capacities of AppleScrip and I would like to make an application that speak loud all the demo while do some stuff. I know how to tell the script to speak, but the problem is the language.
I can’t found any way to implement text to speech in Spanish.
I remember that under system 9 we can install a Mexican Spanish module, but I can’t found anything like that under 10.x
Does anybody knows if there are some way to do that.
Apple claims that Tiger is a world citizen, even in the web page say “Mac OS X speaks your language”, but if I start the Finder in Spanish, the pane “Text to speech” is dimmed, there’s no way to play anything.
Maybe Chris Nebel knows something about it.

I didn't, but I did know who to ask. =) The Speech guys tell me that is no support built in for text-to-speech in anything other than English; they recommended looking into Cepstral <http://cepstral.com/ >. You could get it to produce the correct sounds *without* Cepstral by using the phonetic input, but then you'd have to type the phonemes yourself.
