Converts text into sound and plays the resulting sound on the computer. If the parameter Wait Until Done is FALSE, the script will continue to execute while the sound is being played.
For Temporary Settings, each setting must start with "tts_" and use the format setting=value. Multiple settings may be specified, and should be separated by comma (,) characters. Quotes around the value are optional. If a value is not a number, then the Text-to-Speech engine uses the value closest to the value text description provided. Temporary Settings are only in effect only while the speech is being played.
