You don't absolutely need speechsdk, but I find it best to have it
around. I think the 64 bit verb sapi provides speechsdk or at least the
speech API. Usually if a game finds that NVDA is running, it won't have
a paddy if it finds no sapi voices configured. So if you start NVDA
before your game, you shouldn't even need to worry about getting sapi.
If you have Wine 8.0 or higher you will be able to run NVDA in a 64 bit
prefix despite it being 32 bit and it'll work just fine. I got cyclepath
going this way.

The only problem with this is that, IIRC, speechsdk only installs in a
32bit prefix, and the game in question is 64bit however. Which is,
unfortunately, the sticking point that's being run into. I've had
succcess using nvda2speechd, which redirects NVDA's output through
speech-dispatcher and works in both 32 and 6bit

Hello,
There is in fact a way to get NVDA working under wine, which would
allow Tolk to be used. If you have an NVDA portable copy, you'll have
a much better time getting this to work. It boils down to install
msaa, speechsdk, and have at least win8 as your windows version in
the prefix. Then run nvda.exe, say no if NVDA goes on about it not
being able to start securely, and close the dialog for any addon
updates. Now if you run a game, it'll come up talking with NVDA. If
anyone has problems getting it working, let me know and I'll see what
I can do.

This is more for the WINE users, but....
This came up due to a game updating to use Tolc, and the discussion
switly turned to kay, how do we get a workaround to make it run
under WINE?
The game ships with a Tolc dll, as well as an NVDA dll. The NVDA dll
isn't the problem, that can be worked around with nvda2speechd, but
it's Tolc that is the issue. What is a good starting point to work
around this?
Rastislav, I'm hoping you can look at this and help out, you cracked
nvda2speechd wide open and came up with that after all
