I have heard about talking dosbox, in fact I helped with the project and I made one of the speech synthesis helper applications, but I was hoping to be able to have dos running natively without emulation. I have no sight whatsoever so I need speech output, and the only ways of speech output available are through serial with an external speech synthesizer or via a SoundBlaster or compatible with SBTalker, Monologue, TextAssist etc.
