Emacs Talk plus the Calc package for Emacs plus DragonDictate would
work for you.
Advantages would be that all the Emacs packages are free, and
customizable. In general Emacs packages are good quality and Calc
certainly has a good reputation. I don't know specifically about
Emacs Talk, but I bet it's very customizable.
Calc and DragonDictate certainly work together, except that
DragonDictate correction can cause backspaces that delete part of the
Calc stack. I was just playing with Calc and DragonDictate's text to
speech, and I think it would be impossible to use together. Dragon
didn't read any of the symbols, and I don't know that there's any way
to get DragonDictate to read the symbols, just for starters. Also, I
couldn't have understood the speech without having the numbers right
in front of me. I think you can improve this some by tweaking Dragon's
text to speech init file, but it would have to improve a lot from what
I heard just now.
So you would probably want another text to speech engine -- If you're
interested, you might try posting to one of the Emacs newsgroups and
asking if anyone uses Emacs Talk with Calc.
