Back in August at the [Flex Jam in Orlando][1] one of the projects we worked on was Text to Speech in Flex. We didn't finish the project at the Jam so I wanted to post the final version here. Check it out:

([source code][2])

I used the [iSpeech.org API][3] to convert the text to speech. It was pretty easy to build this demo but a production version would need to use a proxy so that the username and password can't be discovered.

Let me know what you think.

<font color="#ff0000">UPDATE: Periodically this demo might stop working because I've run out of credits at ispeech.org. If it doesn't work for you please post a comment here and let me know.</font>
