Thank you for the explanation.  I remember with TEII, hitting CTRL-1 would
read the text on the screen.  Not to beat a dead horse, but could you use
elements of the ANSI Escape Sequence C1 Set control functions "APC"
Application Program Control or "PM" Privacy Message to send strings of text
to the TI-99/4A TE client like your modded MXT and then add the function on
the TE end to send that C1 control function escape sequence to TI TXT2SPCH
commands CALL LINK ("SPEAK",S$)?  If your TI-BBS software and modded
terminal client could have this function, not only would it be VERY cool
(and a feature that nobody else has) but could serve a useful function as
well e.g. Hearing assist.  But I also understand that I do not have the
knowledge you do on what would be needed to make this happen and like you
said if the costs outweigh the benefits.  Regardless, thank you for
listening and for your feedback and thoughts on the matter!
