I am a bit familiar with scheme. I'm having difficulty thinking of situations 
when I'd need any versatality though. Shouldn't text2speech programs simply 
take text as their input and produce speech that sounds as human as possible? 
Besides changing speaker age, accent, gender and the rate of speech, why 
would one want the UI to be versatile?

Thanks
