So after testing a bit more, it seems the issue is that I can choose either Orca or Speakup. If I start a Mate session, then Speakup no longer works until the next reboot. If I start a Speakup session first, the opposite is true.
Now that I understand it, I can work with this limitation if it's expected behavior; but if there is a workaround, that info would be great.

Hi all, Running Debian Bookworm and the Mate desktop environment. I just installed Voxin. After the Voxin install I rebooted the system and Orca immediately came up using Eloquence as the synthesizer. However I noticed that now when I switch to a console terminal, I am not getting any speech at all from Speakup. What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks,
