what about have nvda handle it.
nvda has a controler library which needs to be put into that version
to make it speak.
then you have a choice of a frontend, ie something uses the dosbox
engine and we have a shell over that.

Hi Shaun,
Well, here is the problem with that idea. While in theory I could take
the source code for Dos Box and add Sapi support that would only work
for Windows users. I'd have to go back and repeat the process for Mac
and Linux which have completely different TTS output systems which
would be quite a bit of work in of itself. Essentially, I'd be writing
a version of Dos Box with a built-in screen reader and that's no
simple matter as such a fork of Dos Box could quickly become out of
date as the Dos Box maintainers upgrade etc. Whoever took on such a
project would have to continually merge the modified version of Dos
Box with the new stable versions of Dos Box to stay up to date unless
the official maintainers were willing to include the changes into Dos
Box official versions.
The other alternative is to write a Dos screen reader with a TTS
engine that runs under Dos. Its doable, but it would be a lot of work
for little gain.
Cheers!
