may be not, espeak in any rate is opensource, and it is a dll for nvda
it probably shouldn't take much to just use the dll in that reader,
or even compile it as a command line app and I think it could be that way.
and as I said nvda reads standard dos windows.
probably not well but it does do this.
if you then could make an nvda addon for dosbox and we just load it
in then no issue.

HI Dark,
I realize that. Although, whatever solution we come up with should be
available to everyone. Let's not forget that there are more and more
VI users heading over to Mac and/or Linux as well so if we are going
to make Dos Box accessible it has to be a cross-platform solution or
none at all. I know Windows users are likely to agree with you that
making a version for Windows only is alright simply because
cross-platform support doesn't effect them one way or the other. To
use your own quote "some access is better than no access" and that is
exactly what is the problem with a Windows only solution. If it is for
Windows then we are right back to running Windows XP in a virtual
machine which is the very thing we are trying to avoid here. :D
The only way to resolve this issue is to write a Dos compatible
software synth, and then a free Dos screen reader which will run in
Dos Box. Since ESpeak and Festival are really our only choices in
terms of open source synths someone would have to port one of them to
Dos Box. Then it would require some work writing a Dos screen reader
which I'm not really sure how to do my self. I'd have to look into it,
but I'm pretty sure it is going to be a pretty big under taking.
Cheers!
