but why?
There are many hardware synthesizers with far better voice quality. Even
models that were available in USB.
why on earth should anyone be expected to have poor quality speech when
the tools exist otherwise?
Not that I am a windows user, or a Linux one either of course smiles.

Tom,
Does NVDa support hardware speech at all?

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.
