thanks to CereProc / CereVoice, the AI project now has a Scottish accent, via a free voice (Heather) they provided for my academic research.
you can try out a variety of voices at their website -- type in text in the window at the very top of your screen and select a voice. they rock!

the voice is a *big* improvement over those provided with Mac OS, and i've just begun to explore articulation of Heather's voice. (and determining the proper way to speak a text can provide some computational-emotional info for that text.)
more steps at storing input & output in text files; indeed, much of the speech is performed with temporary text files with the CereProc software (via Python).
progress!
