	I suppose one could go for archaic and complex...

	Obtain a working Amiga computer, install whatever the last Python
version was available pre-built. Then write a server application which
would take text over the net, and feed it to the appropriate Amiga
libraries -- translator and narrator as I recall (one converted plain
text to phoneme codings, the other then converted phonemes to sound, and
could return values for "mouth shape" to sync animation) [history: the
Amiga had text to speech in the late 80s -- it even allowed for
adjusting some formant parameters so one could create pseudo accents].
