Hi Josh, Simple answer is no. Dos screen readers and other 16-bit applications will not run on modern Windows platforms. I've tried running them in Dosbox with a Dectalk Express and got absolutely nowhere with them. So I don't think running a Dos screen reader on modern Windows is really possible.
The only thing I can think of, and I have thought of this for a while now, is embedding a screen reader into Dosbox itself. That way the screen reader can use Sapi and other text to speech services native to the platform while performing screen reading tasks. By making the screen reader an integrated part of Dosbox it would save the end user all the trouble of trying to install some old screen reader into Dosbox and then still require a hardware synth or similar device to run it. Cheers!
