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.
