Im also looking to hack into the PC speech synth, any ideas on that?

I know of the mbrola object etc...Id really prefer to use the actual xp

This worked for me on my intel powerbook: 

http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~aka/max/#aka_speech

One issue though: Max can't seem to directly access the audio stream from this object. I think it's basically doing an exec call to the text-to-speach system and bypassing the normal flow of audio in Max. I had to set my default audio output for the system to go to my USB digital audio interface, and send the output of the audio device back into Max (or a DAW) in order to record the sounds being produced.

If [Lspeak] doesn't work for you, you can use osascript message(s) to the [shell] external.
