True, I just found it a handy place to store the voice pointer which I knew worked from prior code I had written. Do you happen to have a short code snippet illustrating your suggestion. 3) A save_to_file() method would seem appropriate Agreed, I just needed to learn more about that first to make sure I was doing it the "PHP" way. 4) Are there other voices? Is there a way (planned) to change them? Not by default, but it's possible to have additional voices if converted. I'm still exploring this and once I have something working I will start tying that in. 5) It'd be handy to be able to fetch metadata about the wave (num channels, > samples per second, etc...)

It would be a simple matter to have getters for num channels, samples per second, etc so I will add them later this week. 6) Would you like some exports in oggvorbis so that TTS data can be pumped > striaght into an ogg/vorbis output file? That would be awesome! I was looking into doing mp3, but ogg/vorbis would be much better due to licensing issues.
