I've always used System.Speech for my text-to-speech. Not sure if its
available outside Window's Vista or not.

From what I can tell System.Speech is just a wrapper over the SAPI
libraries. Vista uses SAPI 5.3, and XP uses SAPI 5.1, so some features
will only be available on Vista boxes.

As far as framework versions I'm not sure what version is required to
use System.Speech, although since the original SAPI libraries are COM
based, I'm sure you can reference them from any .NET framework
version.

Here's a link that might help you out (where I just got the above
information)
