What you want can be done in terminal with this command:
say -f filename -o filename
The 1st filename is the text file, the 2nd the name you choose which will
appear as filename.aiff which is an audio file. The "aiff" is a standard
audio format most often found on an audio cd. This produces the standard
mac voice but this can be changed to others if one wishes. If desired
just ask as it is easily added to the command above.
Many mp3 players will also play it. An iphone or ipad likewise and I
assume other smart devices as well.
If you want a mp3 format use itunes or lame in terminal to convert from
aiff to mp3.
