Nobody wants to reuse my code, believe me ;)
Not even I, I'm afraid, because there is a good chance I've either
removed or lost the files.
I'll try to go back and search the computer I was using at the time, but
there is really nothing much to expect.

I'm not sure you need a plugin (I don't know how to write one). An
external script may be sufficient. You can gather all the information
you want from the CLI provided by the server.
The major task, probably, is setting up a TTS system that sounds ok.
You're better off using a Mac than a Linux machine if you want it to
speak.. But last time, it seems I've used svox to some effect. Prior to
that I would have used a mix of espeak and Mbrola. And before that the
recipe was different again. 
The only constant over many years is that I never got anything sensible
out of Festival, despite it's glowing reviews.
Also, I wouldn't try using the Linux system extensions for the blind
like Speakup or Orca. These programs render voice very fast, but they
don't sound nice. 

If you're using Linux you can start looking for the TTS chain that will
sound right. Getting a title out of SBS is much easier.

I'll look at the machine and will post back here, probably in a few
days, if I find something of interest. 

Good luck.
