~ U S E ~ the search function of the forum. I did a search for "speech" title only, all forums and easily found the answer.

And Yes, it matters.. you need beta for ObjCreate.

;Speak("text to speak", 1-10 rate of speaking,
;0 - 100 Colume
$input=InputBox("Text to Speak", "Type Text")
Dim $voice = ObjCreate("Sapi.SpVoice")
Func Speak($Text, $Rate, $Vol)
$voice.Rate = $Rate
$voice.Volume = $Vol
$voice.Speak($Text)
EndFunc
Speak($input, 1, 100)

If you want to use The MS Agent Characters:

expandcollapse popup

#include<guiconstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MSAgent Viewer", 280, 100)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Select Character", 15, 10, 125, 20)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Select Animation", 150, 10, 125, 20)
$combo_name = GuiCtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 35, 125, 20)
GuiCtrlSetData($combo_name, "Merlin|Genie|Peedy|Robbie")
$combo_1 = GuiCtrlCreateCombo("", 145, 35, 125, 20)
$btn_submit = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Submit", 80, 65, 125, 20)
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
    Case $msg = $combo_name
        $oAgentName = GuiCtrlRead($combo_name)
        If $oAgentName <> "Merlin" Then
            $oAgentPath = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Microsoft Office\Office11\" & _
            $oAgentName & ".acs"
        Else
            $oAgentPath = @WindowsDir & "\Msagent\Chars\" & $oAgentName & ".acs"
        EndIf

        $oAgent = ObjCreate("Agent.Control.2")
        $oAgent.Connected = "True"
        $oAgent.Characters.Load($oAgentName, $oAgentPath)
        $oChar = $oAgent.Characters($oAgentName)

        For $name in $oChar.AnimationNames
        GuiCtrlSetData($combo_1, $name & "|") ;get Animations for selected Character
        Next

    Case $msg = $btn_submit
        $anim = GuiCtrlRead($combo_1)
        $oChar.Show
    $oChar.speak('\Chr="Whisper"\Hello\Chr="Normal"\ \pau=2000\I am ' & $oAgentName)
    $oChar.MoveTo(250,250)
    $oChar.Play("Wave")
        $oStatus = $oChar.Play($anim)
        While $oStatus.Status > 0
            Sleep(100)
        WEnd
        $oChar.Hide
    EndSelect
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend
