For an application in an industrial environment where the workers are not always sitting in front of the monitor, but are within earshot of the PC I would need an sound / speech handler for the standard logging system. It should beep or better say the logging message. (with standard filtering etc.) I google search was not successfull. Does anybode know of such a handler?
I think this would end up being an OS-specific thing. On Win32, Stef suggests using SAPI (which may need to be installed for older versions such as Win2k). I've not used Win32 TTS for a while, and don't have ready access to a Win32 box with sound to run some tests.
On *nix, there's the Festival/Flite/Mbrola suite of TTS tools. You might be able to have one of their toolkit listen on a pipe to read whatever comes in, and then just log to that FIFO target as a file.
