#/bin/csh
strings $1 > /tmp/$1.txt
mkfifo /tmp/$1:r.namedPipe
lame --quiet /tmp/$1:r.namedPipe $1:r.mp3 &
say -v Vicki -f /tmp/$1.txt -o /tmp/$1:r.namedPipe
rm -f /tmp/$1.txt
rm -f /tmp/$1:r.namedPipe
I haven't tested this so it might need some adjustments, but something similar works with mplayer to convert real audio dumps to mp3

Download LameLib
What I downloaded is a single mysterious file, called 'LameLib'. No installer, no executable, and no readme.txt, or any docs.
Apparently, if you want to use LAME, you'll first have to join a mailing list and either search, or beg, for help. I see no links to downloadable compiled binaries, so you'll have to have Developer Tools installed, and compile it yourself. There was once a link from a hint here that led to a downloadable binary, but that link is now dead.
I think I'll stick with the say hint; thanks so much for reminding us of it, robg!

Was just about to post the same. Although, I'd recommend Fink Commander if you're not thrilled about command line stuff. It makes it much easier to deal with this kind of stuff.
Don't forget the bang in your hash-bang:
#/bin/csh
should be
#!/bin/csh
Otherwise it'll only work if csh is your shell. If you're using bash, then you literally get file.txt:r.mp3 as the output filename. Add the exclamation, and you get a proper file.mp3.
Thanks for the script!
Regarding the ':r' modifier, I couldn't find it in MacOS's man pages, but found it under Solaris:
Modifiers
After the optional word designator, you can add one of the
following modifiers, preceded by a :.
h Remove a trailing pathname component, leaving the
head.
r Remove a trailing suffix of the form `.xxx', leaving
the basename.
e Remove all but the suffix, leaving the Extension.
etc.
I think I'll type up a submission for this after work.
named pipes provide piping support for apps that don't support piping.
for example, you can't pipe the output of mplayer to standard out, so it's hard to redirect converted audio to another app without saving the audio to disk first. instead you can creat a named pipe and save the mplayer output to the pipe and have the second app read from the pipe.
for something like this it saves the hassle of some temp files.
another example, I created a script a short time ago that would dump the real audio stream of a radio program, convert the dump to wav, convert the wav to mp3
there is a wasted dump and wav file now. both of which can take up a significant amount of space, the wav especially.
a named pipe (allong with doing the conversion of the audio with mplayer instead of saving the dump and then converting) allowed me to direct the wav output to a pipe that was being read by lame. this eliminated the biggest temp file, the wav.
I'll write up something intelligable with links after work.

Thanks for the fink tip, but nope, it doesn't work. I just installed fink. When I run the included Pathsetup program, it reports that fink is installed correctly. Nevertheless, I still get:
$ fink install lame
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install lame
Information about 1740 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'lame'!
.. when I type 'fink install lame'.

I've never had problems with fink before. Try 'fink list' to see a list of available packages (hundreds!) or 'fink list lame' to see the 3 different lame packages. If (when) they show up, you'll be installing lame, which will install lame-shlibs with it.
If fink doesn't seem to know about lame (and those list commands don't show anything), it seems like a bad fink install.
Anyone else have an idea?
I'm sure you could do this all on one line:
#!/bin/csh
strings $1 say -v Vicki -o /dev/stdout lame --quiet - $1:r.mp3
No need to worry about any temporary files, and the three
tasks will operate in parallel, making it all a bit faster.
No, as far as I know, lame only accepts raw PCM as streaming input. Lame needs file-seek access with input in aiff format, which, consequently, cannot be piped in.
I agree with other comments that temporary files should be created exclusively by using mktemp.
My copy of LAME comes from LameBrain, I just make a symbolic link to it at /usr/local/bin.
More often than not, I find it easier to use the clipboard for things like this. It would be nice if it can be done in one line and I can use it as a alias instead.
My version:
pbpaste say -o x.aiff
lame --quiet x.aiff x.mp3
It's called TextToMP3 -- all you need to do is to drop a text file on the application and it'll automatically churn out an MP3 file of the spoken text.
