== Detailed Description ==
A few activities implement Text to Speech, but Sugar itself has a feature not fully implemented to do text to speech in Sugar.
Most of the code is already done. Currently, if the user select a text in any activity, and press Alt+Shift+S, in shell.log you can see:

We already have the code to implement text to speech in Read and Talk to Sara activities.
A device should be implemented in the frame, to enable the user to select pitch and velocity.
== Benefit to Sugar ==
Text to speech is a good feature to kids, when they are learning to read, and to kids with disabilities
== Scope ==
The change is isolated.
==UI Design==
I propose use de default language now, and only expose controls to set pitch and velocity. In a later change, we can implement have more than one language enabled,
and a switch to change it.
