Sure this was not the best way to go about doing this, but here is the code. I removed a lot of comments in it so be sure to check out the full example code. Another thing to note is I'm running it 20 wpm over regular speed, some clarity is lost for speed.

Now we have Robot comics!! It's a brave new world!!!!
This thing is a breeze compared to Speakjet. Speakjet has a unique sound and sound effects, however the Emic 2's voice is very easy to understand, just like computer based TTS. Perfect Paul is the man lol.
Great job, Joe!
