Jaws can read web pages using different voices through the Web Rent A Crowd feature. Do the following.

1. Open your web browser.
2. Press insert-f2 to enter the Jaws Manager dialog.
3. Arrow down to configuration manager and press enter.
4. Press alt-s to set options.
5. Arrow down to "speech and souns Manager". Press enter.
6. In the list of schemes, press w to jump to "Web Rent a Crowd".
7. Press Ok. Finally, press control-s to save and alt-f4 to exit Configuration Manager.

Since I don't have Dectalk Access32, I do not know how well Web Rent A crowd will work with Jaws. But, since you can edit the Web Rent A Crowd feature, you may get Dectalk to work with it.
