    this is what RIM has to say about Text to speech API

    The Text-To-Speech API in the BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment permits a developer to create a BlackBerry device
    application that converts information into audio output. The Text-To-Speech API uses the JSR 113 specification (also known as
    the Java® Speech API 2.0 specification) to support a speech synthesizer.
    The developer can use the Text-To-Speech API and the Accessibility API to create a screen reader application. The Accessibility
    API retrieves information from device applications and sends the information to the Text-To-Speech API. The Text-To-Speech
    API can use the information that the Accessibility API provides to create audio output. For example, the Oratio™ for BlackBerry®
    smartphones application uses the Accessibility API and the Text-To-Speech API to convert information into audio output for
    users who are blind or visually impaired.

    Currently, RIM limits the use of the Text-To-Speech API.
