The Speech Server you provided is a tremendous tool (thanks to you and eckythump). I actually found this group via a post on OSX TTS in my search for a solution. My use case is a little different than that of XMBC. I currently use the Google speech server (with fear that it will be unplugged at any point) for speech at my parents house. They're at an age where they can't remember if they've locked the doors or turned off certain lights so I've replaced the devices with z-wave. I use an inexpensive home automation appliance and a Sonos speaker in their bedroom to alert them that specific lights are left on or the lock was left unlocked (as it's being automatically locked).
My purpose would be to stream the speech to their Sonos speaker. When I use Google's service (often slow and with concern they'll pull the service), it works fine. However, when I use the speech.server - no audio can be heard. Audio works great from my Android using a POST. For what I can determine, the OSX TTS and Google both encode the audio as an MP3. I currently run the speech.server in a Windows environment (Windows 8.1) running the server with Python 2.7.8.
Would it be possible to provision an option for output as either an MP3 or a WAV (to maintain the audience that requires WAV audio) on start up ?
