On the page below, there are 4 different examples/experiments relating to
dynamically generating TTS (text-to-speech) audio output in a webpage, as well
as the link to the actual article I found the sort of webpage source code on,
and maybe some of you could try them out, and if any of the examples work, let
me know which browser, operating system etc. you made use of, since, for
example, the first, client-side only rendition of the eSpeak synth engine only
seemed to work in firefox on my machine, and even when tried upgrading
specifically to internet explorer 9, only one of the other ones seemed to then
automatically play the sound clip back to me as such, but anyway:

That first eSpeak example may also take a bit of time to load since it
literally loads a scripted translation of the eSpeak english-US engine into the
browser - like a 2Mb script file, and that also means on browsers like internet
explorer, you may also need to tell it to allow scripts to run - but that would
really depend on your general security settings, but anyway.
Am also not 100% sure if the first of the server-side examples above - second
example overall - works too well in any case either since all three of the
server side examples are requesting dynamically generated TTS from other places
in background, which might also be part of issue, but anyway.
For example, you'll see that after filling in two fields, with any information
you want, and then clicking on button below, the pages should offer you a link
to download the sound clip even if it didn't play back automatically, but those
clips don't always seem valid as such either.
Stay well
