Hadn't noticed any followup on this. Why would you need to append the
audio file? Could you not, instead, combine the source text files?
Because the say command is just a standard terminal app you can concat
multiple input files together and piple all of them in a batch to the
say command. If you really do want to concatenate multiple audio files
together there is always the Sox library which you can install via macports.

Thanks. I thought about using that, but that can't append audio to one
file. Still, it'd be easy enough to set things up in a big old script…
Hmm, this might work. Thanks.

If you don't mind playing around in the terminal you should be able
to get the "say" command to do what you want. You can pass it a text
file to speak and have it write the audio out to a file. In the text
file you can embed commands to the speech engine to change pitch and
such. I'd have to dig through the archives of this mailing list to
dig those up but a little Googling should get you going. Here is one
doc that seems to cover things:

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that can, given a properly tagged text
file, convert the text into speech in different voices and write the
resulting audio to a file? I have to memorize lines, and I'd like to
convert them to speech in a file I can replay. Ideally, these would
be spoken with one voice per actor, so the script sounds more
life-like and is easier to parse as I'm listening. Is this possible,
or do I have to make my own app? Thanks.
