Do you have a suggestion?
Maybe an open source program you know works well?

Fire Vox is Portable Already
If you install the Fire Vox screen reader add-on in the list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screen_readers on Mickeyj4j's post to your portable Firefox the screen reader will be portable by default. It comes with only one, rather unnatural voice, but can be extended with an additional download (which is likely NOT portable as it is the Microsoft SAPI SDK). It does work tho.

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure there is no absolute truth?
thats good BUT...
... Firevox only works for forefox web browser only. not for general computer use.
