Tom, Does NVDa support hardware speech at all? Kare
The short answer is no. ESpeak is the default but it does support SAPI and has its own software synth called NV Speech Player. However, there is a very basic addon for the DECtalk Express which doesn't work very well and another DECtalk addon which looks better, but I haven't tried it. In theory, it shouldn't be hard to support hardware speech because it has good serial Braille support, but I'm not a Python programmer. I had the idea to hack a Braille driver to support the DECtalk Express, but I didn't get very far and it probably wouldn't work anyway. Therefore, I would say for now the official answer is not really.
