OK let me take another look tomorrow before I wipe out the whole thing again, but from what I remember espeakup installed successfully, but I am unable to find speakup_soft on the module list, and thus no speech
I don’t want GUI anyway, so I was using server 22.04 --David From: Ubuntu-accessibility <ubuntu-accessibility-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com> On Behalf Of Volodymyr Dorozhinsky Sent: Friday, February 03, 2023 9:27 AM To: ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: Re: installing ubuntu with speakup 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.

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 --David
