Text to Speech In R
Please don't shout.
Speech synthesis is associated in my mind with sound generation, which is rather platform-specific. R is a platform agnostic research tool. R can be interfaced with many kinds of external libraries, so many things are possible. However, they aren't necessarily simple, and hiding operating system differences can take a lot of work. Your expectation that this be "simple" is what seems unwarranted to me.

What I want to do is, out put simple English words or sentences to speaker as voice. No fanciness. For example, I want the R console to speak "Hello world" or "Howdy". Do you know of any related function/package? Thanks, - Alex ???
