Yes and no.  Technically, it's shit easy to implement.  However, C= didn't
deliver narator.device & some other stuff (the software you need to let your
amiga speak) with WB2.0+, so you'd have to deliver that along with the
IRC client...   installation & copyright problems come to mind.

Also...  what do you want it to say ???  Everything on channel ?  Ever been on
a busy channel ?   "DCC Chat request from xyz" maybe ?    nah... I prefer a
*decent* sounding sample then...

And to answer your question completely...  Buzz will support speaking on events
(by running a script that does the talking), and more advanced stuff would be
dead easy from an external program.

And... someone was testing a speak script for Amirc this weekend... so I assume
that will be available soon too...  blech...  as if AmIRC ain't slow enough
already.
