Summary
Elvis can output arbitrary texts as speech. The texts can be dynamic, e.g. generated in a calculation, event processing or reporting. The prerequisite for speech output is a TTS engine (TTS = TextToSpeech) and at least one language (Language Add-On). All necessary parts can be obtained free of charge via the Internet.
