If anyone cares, here are a couple sites of possible interest:

There are some old DOS screen readers available, including Vocal-Eyes and
TinyTalk. I couldn't get TT to work here under DOSBox, but I didn't try
very hard. I understand from a source who shall remain nameless that ASAP
is basically unsupported abandonware since the company is out of business
and it's no longer sold.

I host several DOS games and talking DOSBox packages containing various
screen readers, including JAWS for DOS which does apparently work with a
sound card. I did not assemble these packages and I do not provide support
for them. You can throw away the DOSBox files and play the games fine under
dosemu or real DOS. DOSBox runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. The packages
include the Windows executables.

If you have to use dos, screen readers exist all be it with discontinued
support. Jaws for dos can be downloaded from the freedomsdcientific ftp
site when you find it. Since support got discontinued you don't get charged
for the download. Another one is provox 7.5 written by Chuck Hallenbeck.
Provox needs a supported hardware speech synthesizer to work and I've read
jaws for dos can do hardware of sound card but I have never tested the sound
card part of that claim. It's hard to find tinytalk in a whole package any
longer but that had hardware screen reader support and limited sound card
support but could only use com1 and com2 at last version.
