Well hmmm.  That simple testcase didn't trap the error code like we do in
lib/Voice_Text.pm, so thats why it runs without any complaints.   Probably
has the same problem.

The MS sam voice is an older 'V4' voice.   The Cepstral ones are 'V5'.
Maybe somehow you didn't get the V5 engine installed.   But you said that
the voice works ok from the control panel?

Maybe you could download and try a trial version of one of the textaloud.com
products.    And/or trying it another box?
