Ahoy and Greetings, 

I would like to do some text to speech in a pd patch.
I am running on Macosx so it seems that there is no version of the ratts external that will run on my system. 
However macosx itself has very excellent text to speech built in, the only twist is how to send the terminal commands from within pd. 

Of course actually doing text to speech from within the patch would be prime. 

Does anyone have experience with either of those scenarios?
