Given that you are developing for an Intranet for which there are browser
specifications, IE5+, is there also a standard speech browser being used by
those who need it? If so, you may have to purchase a copy for yourself for
testing purposes. If there is no standard speech browser in use, perhaps you
could specify one, purchase it and then test against it.
