Anyone know how this could be done in OS X?



The easiest way to convert text to sound, if you're using unix, it to simply redirect sound to the audio device:

cat text_file > /dev/audio

or:

play -f s -c 2 -s w -r 11025 -t raw text_file

I'd prefer to analyse text then produce some kind of
mediated
output based on my own algorithms, but this can be
fun.

I'm doing a little project where I'm using the
binaries of audio
programs to create sounds, something I find ironic
in a way,
and I used this to get started.

I find:

play -f s -c 2 -s w -r 11025 -t raw `which csound`

to have an awesome, wholesome groove.
