Alright ... So those two issues are out of the way.
Again, I say ... Is it possible then?
Take care,

According to Janina Sajka:
# In other words, you get Speakup across any and all consoles that you #
might open. In my case that's 24 consoles (or 23 on the machines where I #
also have a GUI Desktop). Try that from user space. I don't think it # could
be done.
Brltty does it. And I don't think it's just because it uses a braille
display.
Somehow, it always has access to the currently open console in userspace.
# Then there's persistence--meaning that your access continues to function #
in the face of whatever might happen to an application you're running.
# Not only kernel panics will talk, but any application gone awry can #
often, nay usually, be brought under control from a second console.
I'm not sure about kernel panics, but brltty does this too from userspace.
While I had my braille display, if I had any trouble with an app, I could
always switch to another console to fix or kill it if necessary.
