<div>Be careful about the legal implications of using Google's TTS in your system. There are a few discussions on Google Groups (e.g. <a href="http://goo.gl/TvRVR" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/TvRVR</a>) about the possibility of using Google's TTS for applications other than just Google Translate on the web, and there's a Google employee (DeWitt) saying that there are no Terms of Service (ToS), nor an official API for their TTS system, so that you should abide by their general ToS, and that "[TTS wasn't] <span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px">designed for internal usage only, will likely change or break over time, and </span><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px">thus shouldn't be accessed by external developers</span>"</div>

Last thing I want is to be in trouble with the Big 'G', triple OG! Maybe we'll keep the usage of Google TTS just for playing with it and occasional translations to use as a benchmark coz the quality *is* damn good. </font></div>
