I now have the files for sbtalker. It will run in any 32-bit windows, but
not on a 64-bit one. I have a solution. I have put together a small emulator
for this program. So far, it works. This will emulate DOS running the
software. So far, this is a beta version (composed in twenty
minutes) and I expect to make improvements in the next few days. This is why
I haven't uploaded this anywhere. If you would like to try, you can download
it at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11231100/sbtalker_emulator.zip
When this starts up, it will load the software into memory, which means you
can jump directly to the read stage. You can type read and a string of text.
Then, you will hear that string. You could also write simply "read", and the
program will read any text you enter from then on. 
However, control+c does not work to close this, so the only way to end it is
to end the process from the task manager. It is possible that I simply don't
know how to exit, but what works on more modern systems won't work.
I understand that this is clunky, but I'll do my best to fix this in the
near future. Also, if you are reading this and the link is broken, this
means I've finished work on this and the final version will be in the
software folder of the archive.
