I think Chagla is asking about going the other way - from text to voice. This
depends on the ability of the device to product full
sound, which I think is very slim right now.
But just for perspective here, my Atari 800 with 16KB ram, an 8-bit 6502 running at 2
MHz and only analog (no digital) sound
controls had no problem at all generating audio speech (with independent pitch and
speed controls as well!). It also had the
processing speed to recognize about 20 different spoken voice commands using a piece
of software called SAM, which stood for
Software Automated Mouth. And this was 2 decades ago! I can still remember how all
the voices sounded. :)
With that as a guide, I would say that if a Palm device can succssfully modulate it's
meager audio output, then speech generation is
completely feasible. Unfortunately, I haven't messed much with the sound capabilities
beyond the note level. Has anyone out there
tried outputing wave forms?
