Ok, since I haven't seen anything really concrete in the Vim direction,
I'll be an heretic for once and recommend you check out
http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/

As far as I know, this is the best and most complete speech-oriented
interface for a programming editor. I'm afraid there is nothing as
complete for Vim. For instance, emacspeak can use different voices to
simulate syntax coloring when reading code.

I have no personal experience of it, but heard mostly good things about it
(not always as responsive as could be, but that is not so bad).

Best,
