(ALL VERSIONS OF MAC OSX) Open Script Editor which can be found by typing “Script Editor” into spotlight. This works for any version of OSX, even the BETA I think but no one uses that anymore, so full of glitches, features you take for granted just aren’t there… Anyway, when you go into script editor type in: say “Hello, how are you doing today?” Copy and paste that, you can replace the text inside the speech marks with anything you want the computer to say, then click the green play button.
I’m new here so I’m not sure if you have this tip or not but it is quite funny to listen to the computer say things that you type…

You don’t need Script editor . There are a more siple way to obtain it. Open textedit, write what you want and then go composition menu/voice/start reproduction

say The Text I Want to Say
Works like a charm

I love SSH’ing into the family iMac via Terminal while my mom’s using it and making it talk to her. Great practical joke.
