If you just want to speak a file (or text in a script), install festival
and run:

cat textfile | festival --tts

If you want to write a program (other than a shell script) that supports
speech, you could either use festival or flite.  flite is portable to
windows, but has lower voice quality and less flexibility (the use can't
choose the voice).

The online bridge game I'm writing uses festival under linux to do speech,
and under windows uses flite.
