Been using the shell "say" to text-to-speech for Spanish. Some very beautiful new voices on the Mac Mountain lion.
Right now I have to preset the voice to eg. Paulina.

get shell("say" && "¿Cómo?")

works well

Is there a shell command way to change to voice to eg. Pablo or Javier as revSpeak doesn't work for languages with accents or upside down question marks?!

Hi Scotty,

1 minute Google showed me this:

Basically its:
say -v Pablo "something spanish..."

And there is always the terminal: man say

Best
