There is this on CPAN:

So if you have some Perl skills, it looks like something that could be 
done in AGI. You'd probably need a commercial TTS software to achieve 
decent results though (Festival isn't very good).

I think there is no major technical difficulty in doing it, but the 
integration work and the commercial license required are going to make 
it something "expensive" - I'd say in the $50-100k range.

Note the quotes because these days people find anything expensive 
discounting the fact that it would have been completely unthinkable to 
do for smaller companies just a few years ago...

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
