Here's a simple replacement for Mac users. I've tested it with Igor Pro 6.22A under 10.6.8 and 10.7.1. It also works well with the new high-quality international voices in Lion.

// Speak(text, voice) is a minimal replacement for the old Speak XOP
// text is the text to be spoken, embed \r\r to create a pause
// voice is a system voice such as Alex, Bruce, Fred, Kathy, Vicki, Victoria, etc.
// If voice is empty (""), the default system voice is used;
// the default voice can be set in the Speech system preference.

// an example:

Function Speak(text, voice)
String text, voice
String phrase = " say \""+ text +"\" using \"" + voice+ "\" "
ExecuteScriptText/Z phrase
End
