The dectalk driver is not loaded from config.sys.
Its why finding a substitute is preferred.

So your DECTalk driver refuses to be installed once the VIDE-CDD driver has
been installed, did I understand you correctly?
What about changing the order in which your CONFIG.SYS loads the drivers?
Load first the DECTalk driver (no conflicts) and after that, VIDE-CDD. If they
can't coexist at all that's trickier.
You could also do what Rugxulo suggested:
Can't you just edit a CONFIG.SYS menu option to let you optionally>boot without
DecTalk when needing to access a physical CD-ROM?
About the FreeDOS drivers, as far as I know, FreeDOS uses GCDROM and UDVD2 as
CD/DVD drivers.
GCDROM was designed for SATA but works with IDE too apparently.
You can try them both and see how to it goes, here are some links:

UDVD2:https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/drivers/udvd2.zip

The package I use incorporates ms DOS 7.1 with a number of utilities
updated?? from 6.22.
I have scores of reasons for preferring the package, using a full sized USB
keyboard as I am doing now to write this email?? is just one of them.
Greater memory and hard drive capacity, at least in my personal
experience, 7.1 is the DOS infrastructure under Windows 98 se, even broader
processor speed.
but that is me. I am a firm believer in the Personal in personal computer,
would not expect another person to make choices based on my own..we are
different people after all.

He was making a joke as a way of asking why you would want to run MS-DOS
7.1.
IIRC it was never intended to be a standalone product.?? I'm curious what
the personal reasons are, or what 7.1 gives you that 6.22 (or FreeDOS)
can't.
