Is there a command in Matlab which reads a message and makes it an audio one ?

I am working on an interface in which I need to detect a tumor in different images and calculate its area,I need to display a message "the area of cancer is(value) from the total area" and I want it to be read and listened, is that possible ?

What is the problem exactly? Do the details about the GUI and its purpose matter?

no it doesn't really matter, I am looking for a command able to read (with voice) any written message

Under Windows there are several methods to convert text to a speech output to the speakers:

NET.addAssembly('System.Speech')
speaker = System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer();
speaker.Rate = 1
speaker.Speak('Hello world')

In the FEX you'd find these methods by a simple search:
