Is there a block to convert text into speech? Also the opposite would be really nice to have.

Nope. I don't think you could create a project for text to speech anyway. Maybe in another programming language.

You could make it, but there are no blocks for it (you could make TTS, not STT).

With extensions http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/43915/

If you want text-to-speech you can use this.

Hopefully this isn't necroposting…

Since this topic hasn't seen a new post from the topic owner in a long time, I'm going to assume that it is dead and close the topic. If it still is alive, the topic owner just needs to use the Report button to ask a mod to reopen it

I made a text to speech in scratch… kind of

There is no block to do that. But you can go on this website and make it as a sound. http://www.text2speech.org/
