Flex Text to Speech Program

Question

I am developing a Adobe Flex Application which speeches some given text inside a text box. Here am supposed to use an inbuilt function or something else, because I dont want to give an outside link to convert the text to speech since Internet connection will not be available. Sample program written in Air are also applicable Can any one post some sample code or link? Thanks in Advance

I ported a HMM based TTS engine to Flash using the Alchemy compiler. Demos, explanation and code are here:

Answer 2

I expect that the simplest way will be get some external executables and wrap them into Air or even rewrite in like http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/alchemy/ but look to platform you are oriented, the best choice will be MS TTS engine or something open source like Festival TTS engine.
