My thought, was that more than simple abbreviations would be enough.
Not so much greater details, but if possible indicating what to what
those abbreviations refer.
There are more than one dectalk hardware option for example, still hoping
someone answers the question about software dectalk, as I believe it
existed with windoweyes, dectalk 32 perhaps?, so learning it may be a
Linux option in this case might help many.

Hi Brandt,
in this case whomever is also named Didier, and also grand-father (only by
Lucas
so far).
Providing the actual name of the synthesizer is not easy as I am not aware of
any up to date and complete list of synthesizers that can use a given
driver.
This document:
http://www.linux-speakup.org/speakup.html
just provides a generic description for each driver, not all models
supported,
and it is very outdated as is in your Slint the file:
/usr/src/linux-5.12.11/Documentation/admin-guide/spkguide.txt
Also the brand and model name are not exposed in the sysfs ABI:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-driver-speakup
So all I could do is display for each driver its description.
For instance this command typed as root:
modinfo speakup_dectlk|sed -n "/^description/s/.*: *//p"
gives this output:
Speakup support for DECtalk Express synthesizers
Would this be useful?
Cheers,
Didier

Just a suggestion, for whomever wrote this documentation?
Providing the actual name of the hardware synthesizer supported might be
wise. some of those listed could mean more than one thing.
