Hi Duane.

The DECTalk unit (card) was made by Digital Equipment Corporation.
Which was bought by Compaq, and then Hewlett-Packard.  I worked
for them (on the VMS operating system) for almost 20 years.

I wasn't aware they made a card for DECTalk, but I do know they
did make a standalone unit, I believe it used an RS-232 line to
pass the ASCII text to it.  (I used one in a demo many years ago.)
I don't know if this is an alternative.

There may still be some DEC equipment resellers around, or it may
be possible to find a unit on eBay.

I hope this helps.
