Hmm, we will look into it.
You should post on the NVDA email list.

Or the Screen reader list:

FYI blind people do not like any lag when reading that’s is why so many still use eloquence and espeak.

A robotic, explicitly non-natural voice would be perfectly acceptable, and even desirable, in many situations[...]it'd be enough is the speech if easy to recognize.
We've had formant synths for several decades, and they're perfectly understandable and require a tiny amount of computing power, but people tend not to want to listen to them:

I know there will be some smart arse out there saying "Just install Linux" Pleas don't I have to use a screenreader called NVDA to read the screen to me as I am blind.
There is a screen reader in Linux but it just is not that good. If it was better then I would think about it. I have tried!
