I had a similar problem (I also had to deal with non standard ASCII 
characters), but using just one file (ie: /tmp/tts.txt) for the output 
stopped working as soon as multiple prompts got rendered, this happened 
since voiceglue calls the tts_gen script in an asynchronous way.

I was getting prompts overwritten, I had to use something like 
$file.".txt" for the text file.
