Your informations are not correct.
Sbl can use several hw synths like apollo2 infovox 700 (many other can
be added easyly).
the following software synthesizers are supported:
festival, ttsynth (viavoice), speech-dispatcher and mbrola (only
german).
Braille display's are supported as well.
I am interestedto know how did you get these infos?

speakup is an interesting project but it has the same limitation like
other screenreaders.
(try to use apps with softcursor like mc alsamixer ...).
