Oh, a side note of clarity to my bloody stupid question, which I never should have asked if I had an IQ above 5, and an hour or two's worth of reading time: I asked if it could be used with *any* screen reader, not any particular screen reader. Interestingly enough, I have now a patch for Speakup, which should enable the synth in question. That patch appears nowhere in *any* of the f**ing manuals you told me I should have read. The only way, afaik (and granted, my knowledge is of course vastly limited, or I would never have come here for answers), I could have found that patch, was by going to the development community (which, as you point out, is also the user community), to get an answer.
