They don't mention TTS on this comparison page of the current models being offered (including the K3K), and it's not listed in the specs of the K3Keyboard lower on the page.

Ah, well maybe I need a new PW for general reading, and save the K3K for the ride.

The KTouch appears to be history. Looks like they plan to sell the Keyboard for a while yet?

I can't listen to TTS for long periods of time, but it works well for my 30-40 daily commute.
