Your software is attempting to create-or-truncate its pid-file and
log-files and is failing. If you make these files world-writable (or at
least speechd writable) by, e.g.,
touch /var/run/speech-dispatcher.pid
chmod a+w /var/run/speech-dispatcher.pid
... (repeat for speechd.log and espeak.log)
What happens when you redo your tests?

P.S. - In the long run, speechd should probably learn to run under its
own uid(s). Then the appropriate uids can own the appropriate log files.
