TEXT TO SPEECH

                 The Text to Speech extension lets your sprite talk. You
                 can type a message and the sprite will say it out loud.

                 You can also change the voice and language. It makes
                 your projects more fun and real.

                 The Text to  Speech  extension  includes  the  following

                 blocks:





                                   speak  hello    This block makes your sprite say the words you type.



                                                   This block  changes  how the  sprite’s  voice  sounds.

                             set voice to  alto    You can choose from different voices like Alto, Tenor,
                                                   Giant and Kitten.



                                                   This block changes the language your sprite speaks
                        set language to  English
                                                   in. Useful for creating multilingual or global projects.
