Hey guys,
I am fairly new to Corona. I wanted to know how would I (if it’s possible) use text to speech in my applications. I came across
http://www.politepix.com/openears/ a library for voice recognition for the Iphone and Ipad. How does one go about adding such libraries to your applications in corona? Your advice would be really appreciated.

Simple answer : You can’t 
Corona is a LUA interpreter built upon a C base.
The LUA part, which we use, has no direct access to anything unless the C engine provides it, and (as far as I am aware) the corona engine does not have any libraries for text to speech.
Even worse, the library you refer to is iphone native, meaning it will be for objective-c, and not compatible with corona without porting, which I doubt anyone is willing to do.
All in all, corona isn’t suited to that type of app, its specifically for 2d games/ebook style apps, with an emphasis on cross compatibility.
