There are some old DOS screen readers available, including Vocal-Eyes and 
TinyTalk.  I couldn't get TT to work here under DOSBox, but I didn't try 
very hard.  I understand from a source who shall remain nameless that ASAP 
is basically unsupported abandonware since the company is out of business 
and it's no longer sold.

I host several DOS games and talking DOSBox packages containing various 
screen readers, including JAWS for DOS which does apparently work with a 
sound card.  I did not assemble these packages and I do not provide support 
for them.  You can throw away the DOSBox files and play the games fine under 
dosemu or real DOS.  DOSBox runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.  The packages 
include the Windows executables.
