I wish I had something more constructive to say than 'wow, this is really cool' but, wow, this is really cool. I was saddened to see speech synthesis and speech generation (seemingly) punted from the Win8 WinRT APIs. And here you are doing it with a bit of Javascript.

iOS doesn't offer much in the realm of TTS either. Siri has such a good voice but there is no API to make your iPhone or iPad talk from your own app.

OpenEars has made a decent TTS engine (based on flite) but it is far from the top of the line engines offered by Acapela, Ivona, and NeoSpeech.
