If I'm understanding things correctly, could something like this work?

It appears to be able to take 2.5 - 5.5v in and give up to 5v out at
up to 90mA.  It would be great if it could be powered from the sensor
port directly instead of having to string another battery pack off the
side...

I also wonder whether you could accomplish text-to-speech entirely in software?
I've seen TTS software that uses highly-compressed ADPCM phoneme samples to
convert a stream of allophones into digital audio output.  This would probably

This is basically what that SpeakJet chip does.  It would be hard to
fit enough phonemes into memory and I believe you'd need some way to
change the playback speed of the individual parts.

(...) That is pretty much exactly what I was talking about. Of course, such a chip cannot increase the available power, it can only tweak the ratio between voltage and current. So this might work for some applications, but perhaps not in this (...) (17 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

It sounds like the NXT probably doesn't have enough power available to run that chip, but you might look at using a BUC (Boost-Up Converter) component to bring the 4.3V supply up to a higher level?
