Hi David,
I am currently using Ubuntu-Mate 22.04 and I've managed to install
espeakup package successfully. Do You see any errors during its
installation? If the package was successfully installed what is the
output of:
systemctl status espeakup.service
If the service is not running one should start it with:
sudo systemctl start espeakup.service
Also what I've noticed is that espeakup will not talk in tty console
when orca is running in graphical environment. So to make it work I am
doing the following steps:
1. Login to graphical environment.
2. In graphical environment (Mate DE in my case) open a terminal and run:
killall orca # WARNING! This will terminate orca
3. Then switch to tty e.g. tty 3 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3 and login
there. After login espeakup should talk.
Best regards
Volodymyr

Hi there –
After numerous tries, I am still unsuccessful in getting speakup to
work with ubuntu, and I contribute that largely to operator error
[that’s me!]
So, here I am, asking if anyone has step-by-step instructions on how
to install ubuntu from stratch and have speakup working correctly?
Use server version? Use desktop version? Do something else?
I do not need any desktop environments, just the plain command-line
interface with speakup
Thank you very much in advance, talk soon
