As far as I am aware there is no 'official' windows speech server for
emacspeak. I do redcall seeing posts on the list from someone who was
implementing one, but I'm not sure what the status is at this point. It
is likely you could get emacspeak to run under WSL, but in general, the
main platforms are Linux and macOS.
