Well, I think I can use vocal-eyes or jaws for dos or soft vert with
one of those decTalk boards or and echo plus or lite talk. I'll just
have to find a system board that has an ISA slot. I have a few 386
machines that'll do it.

Jaws For Dos did with SmoothTalker, using the SoundBlaster soundcard.
It was not a reliable screenreader, I think the aforementioned
memory issues were the problem.

The point is that as far as I am aware nobody built in any kind of
support for sound cards for a dos machine, only external synths.
This was due to the slower processors and lack of memory, remember
only 640k of ram was available, most higher amounts were paged into
the standard address space like in the old home computers of the 80s
did to get more memory. Doing this involved a lot of code to operate
the hardware paging and allow access of code into pages which
normally shared the same address space, slowing things down a lot
due to having to store the registers and stacks and then do the switch etc. It was a nightmare.
Nurse the screens!

but don't you still need to run a screen reader for dos box?

I haven't used dos in so long things may have changed

not, I do have others here that will run.
