EchoProducer http://homepage.eircom.net/~ei4jr/EchoProducer/EchoProducer.htm
and Echotime from Jim, KH2D, will already allow text to voice from the chat 
box.
Jim's program is no longer available last I spoke with him, but the 
echoproducer from
Peter, EI4JR, is available to play with.

Don't think you'd really want to tie up your APRS freq with the multitude of 
text
msgs that "fly" on those echolink conferences if I'm understanding what 
you're
talking about.

On your echolink node, you can have the text messages "spoken" right on top
of the normal link radio traffic.  I've had it playing a few times on my 
simplex
node while away from the computer - and it does get annoying real fast...

Hope I worded this correctly,  no?
