espeak is able to open text files (espeak -f <text file>). So you could easily write a script that allows you to lock your device in such a way that it needs another button pressed before you can unlock the device without espeak active.

AFAIK it can simply react to dbus calls, for instance. On a lot of macbooks espeak is used to verbally communicate the current time/hour.
