ev3_dc supports text to speech. You need to install ffmpeg to get it working. On a Windows machine, you have to download an archive (e.g. this) and unpack it. Finally you have to add the directory with the binary files to your environment variable path. MacOS and Unix provide installation packages (MacOS: brew install ffmpeg, Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg).

Before you can use Bluetooth, you need to couple the computer (that executes the python programs) and the EV3 brick.

If you own a compatible WiFi dongle, and you want to use it, you have to connect the EV3 brick with the WiFi network.

Protocol USB is the fastest option, both to establish the connection and to communicate. But using USB may need some additional installations.
