[Macpartners] redirecting a stream to the speech service

[Albert Willis]

Applescript has a say command which speaks whatever is sent to it. If 
you open the script editor and type say "Hello", the Mac will speak.

You can run Applescript commands from the command line by using the 
osascript command. Look at the man pages for how this works. For 
example, in the shell, you can type osascript -e 'say "Hello" ' and 
it'll say hello.

Let us know how you make out.
