Why not useful? I'm not saying it's ideal in terms of where this
functionality *should* be exposed in the frameworks, but compared with
wrapping your head around any existing (public) speech framework just
doing this:

NSTextView *textView = [[NSTextView alloc] initWithFrame: NSZeroRect];
[textView setString: @"Hello"];
[textView startSpeaking]

...seems reasonably useful to me. Unless of course there's some other
functionality you're looking for?

The "SpeechObjects.framework" seems pretty promising when you look at
it through class-dump. It'll probably be made public in some future
system release, but if you're impatient and don't mind using private
frameworks (it's bad you know) you could probably link to it and just
call:

[[NSSpeechSynthesis sharedSpeechSynthesisChannel] speakString:
@"Hello"];
