What you probably need is to create an installer for your py2exe project, using something like Inno, NSIS or WiX.  This installer could then include the setup file for the speech engine and ask it to silently install.  Exactly how that would be done depends on the installer you choose and how the speech engine redistributable is package.

Then, your py2exe application can just assume it is there, safe in the knowledge that the installer took care of things.

I hope that answers the question you were asking :)
