Thanks, but that won't work for the amount of stuff we have to output, since 
there's a lag. Also it doesn't allow for interrupt, that is, for it to stop 
saying whatever it's currently saying and start speaking a new string if 
that option is passed to it.

The only way I can see this working is getting pyttsx working with 
ctypes...or if anyone knows of another similar package that doesn't use 
PyObjC...
