I have a challenge for @Tamasg. I would like to see if he can attempt to make an NVDA addon for the Panasonic CyberTalk synthesizer. Here is a link to the files needed:

According to when I did exporting of the DLL functions of ttsapi.dll), it sounds promising, though I'm not a developer by any means, and I know that he is working extensively on the NV Speech Player addon.

I am going offtrack I guess. Frustrated tbvh.
