Have you got espeak-ng running and speech-dispatcher running espeak-ng and not espeak? In that case, I'd also have speech-dispatcher brought up when the system starts too. lastlog holds results of commands after boot up has happened and it's collecting stuff after startx is run. I don't know where speech-dispatcher and espeak-ng log results by default it could be in lastlog or in speech-dispatcher.log and espeak-ng.log files.
