Check out the Emacspeak program written by blind programmer/mathematician T V
Raman. It is free and very powerful. Raman's home page is:
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/raman.html
The only downside is that at the moment, Emacspeak requires a Dectalk speech
synthesizer. A new Dectalk costs $1200.
Raman has put all the Dectalk-specific programming in a small "driver" program.
So it should be easy to write drivers for other speech synthesizers and I think
it will not be long these become available.
I also have a web page about Emacspeak:
