who has got a Text to speech addin

Does Windows Live Messenger 8.1 beta have Text to speech capability yet? I
have a visually impaired friend who needs that.

Does anyone know of a packaged addin for WLM 8.0 that speaks the incoming
messages? I saw a developer forum message that text to speech for WLM is only
about 20 lines of .NET code, so someone probably thought that it was too
simple to package for others. But noone seems to have done that yet.

If anyone has such a package or addin or knows where it is, please tell me
at prior then knowledge then at sign then hot mail then dot commerical.

Thank you.

there is a add on from a 3rd party application but have to install MS
Speech 5.1 (50M) as well
