It's a fun little project that I hacked together this weekend. It utilizes the ability for an SCI game to write to a file. It runs externally to the game, monitoring a file that I've modified the Controls.sc script to write all the print statements to. The application picks up the changes, ships them off to the api, saves the results to an MP3 and plays them.

Here's the script modification: 

   (if( <> STRINGS_EQUAL StrCmp("Enter Input:" @msgBuf))
	   (if( <> NULL (= hFile FOpen("print.txt" fCREATE)) )
			   FPuts(hFile @msgBuf)
			   FClose(hFile)
			   Wait(30)  //wait a bit, so we can sync the text with the voice (sort of)
	   )
    )

I've uploaded a modified template game demonstrating the app. The executables: SCI_Narrate.exe and madplay.exe (madplay is needed to play the MP3s). If you want to incorporate a 'narrator' into your game, just copy the exe's into your game dir & modify or replace your Controls.sc.

I've included the C# source code for those interested.
