Excellent. I found an archive of useful versions at
https://dectalk.nu/Info.html but it's not clear without downloading if they
include any source.
I would expect scripting the connection of another synthesizer to a
serial input would be trivial, but processing the unspoken command (pitch
etc) would involve translation and reimplementation to convert DECTalk
syntax into espeak (or whatever). Actual DECTalk code would be much less
work.

And now for my plea for help. If there are any
Linux/Pie developers that
would like to take on this project for the benefit of all blind vintage
computing enthusiasts, I would love to hear from you. I honestly don’t know
what fair compensation would be but I am sure some compensation could be
involved. Even if the fine folks here don’t want to get personally involved
I would love to hear opinions on the feasibility of this project as well as
suggestions.
What about simply using the DECtalk source code itself?
