SpeechToy is on one of the earlier Fish Disks.  These disks contain
freely redistributable software, and are compiled by Fred Fish.  You
should be able to copy these disks (46 at last count) if you have a
friend that has them.  Check to see if there is a local Amiga club, as
well.

If you can't find them locally, you can order the disks from Fred directly:

Not everything on these disks is useful, but they are in general worth
their price (and then some!).  My 3-1/2-year-old likes SpeechToy (disk 5),
Moire (disk 9), Mandelbrot (disk 31), and Sproing (disk 33).  He also likes
to play _Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood_ (a commercially-available
game), but he needs constant help with it, since he cannot read. . .
