Why do you think this is something R should be able to do?

Dear all, Excuse me for my searching skills: I just couldn't figure out how to do any simple text to speech in R?console. 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 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Mac OS X, you can access the system faculties to do so with
system("say hello") or what have you.

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.

Integrating question and my 2 cents. Use R2WD to print your output in word file Use TTS facility of windows to do the speech Never implemented myself but may work Best Regards, Bhupendrasinh Thakre Sent from my iPhone

Pizza can be ordered from R (fortune 66), why not tts? Under Debian, I can tts by apt-get install the tts engine espeak and then use the simple system call under R
system("espeak", input="hello world, howdy")
