Hi Marvin.
there are several options.
Entombed ii uses the tolk library at https://github.com/dkager/tolk which
supports Window eyes, Jaws, nvda, Supernova and sapi. I don't know much
about it, but Jason Alan was impressed and the speech in Entombed ii works
fine (both with Sapi or with Supernova).
Second, personally I see nothing wrong with sapi output in games anyway. I
end up using it much of the time myself sinse Supernova is occasionally
supported, and if people don't like the default windows sapi voice, well
plenty more cheap alternatives are available, and unlike say trying to
support one screen reader you can guarantee everyone who has windows has
Sapi in one form or another without having to support five or six different
screen readers, making it an easy alternative.
Using recorded speech is okay, but it has a few limitations, especially as
far as things like players entering their own name, speaking of stats,
creation of random elements etc is concerned. Indeed several games I've
seen, most recently yellow bonnet compromise by having Sapi read details
like the player's name or long descriptions, but having much of the game
voiced for atmosphere.
Hth.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi.we
ll.
as do not want to have cros screen reader api nightmares, with my mobile
web
game, just going with recorded audio clips, which a friend is doing for
me,
and also images, and background music.
But if there is an easy way to get the voices to speak, using these
voices,
tell me a way, to across multiple screen reader apis, for windows, mac,
and
mobile os.
Marvin.
