Default Synthetic Speech in Excel?

Is there a third party library for Excel that would let me program in a
sentence so that when some condition is true the Excel spreadsheet starts to
speak in a loop?

For example, you might have a stock application that has the symbol MSFT and
a limit price of $25. When the stock trade above $25, you would program
the spreadsheet to say:

M S F T Above $25

The above would require me to:

1) Point the library to the "MSFT" string and to ask it to be spelled out
one letter at a time:

2) Add the word "Above" and ask it to be pronounced as a word.

3) Point to the cell with $25, and ask it to be pronounced as a dollar
amount.

Is there a way to do this?
