Absolutely. You can use your favorite scripting language to send a HTTP 
request to a local or remote MaryTTS server. As a minimal example,

$ curl http://mary.dfki.de:59125/process -d INPUT_TEXT='Hallo!' -d 
INPUT_TYPE=TEXT -d OUTPUT_TYPE=PHONEMES -d LOCALE=de

I recommend running a local MaryTTS server and sending multiple requests 
in parallel to save time and bandwidth. Enabling the cache in the server 
may help as well.

Best wishes,

-Ingmar
