Hi Ryan, You may have both espeak and espeak-ng installed. Perhaps the screenreader in Bookworm is looking for espeak-ng. Also, it might help after installing espeak-ng, to run spd-conf and making sure espeak-ng is selected. Also, install python3-speechd It may already be installed. I sometimes select alsa in spd-conf and that works better for me.

I would think that whatever Espeakup depends on would already be installed. I will double check when I am at home.
