festival comes with a program called text2wav. It does just what your are asking. Also if you do:
echo 'hello' | festival --tts
You can change the voices also.
you can do something like this in python if you want a seperate wav for each word (will probably make it easier if you want to only parts of words and such):
import os
x = ['the', 'way', 'that', 'can', 'be', 'experienced', 'is', 'not', 'true']
for s in x:
os.system('echo %s | text2wave > tmp/%s.wav'% (s, s))
os.system('sox tmp/%s.wav -r 44100 %s.wav '% (s,s))
