    Text to speech is becoming quite a technology nowadays and speech
to
text is even more inevitable than text to speech is.  So the option
could be
inline to transfer the speech to text for command purposes and also to
use
that generated text to be put through a text to speech processor where
the
user can choose his voice.  voice can then be encoded either into
mp3-mp4-au
style formats which are low bandwidth.  Probably mp3-mp4 as it is more
suited
for streaming I think.
