I'll have to get sighted assistance installing chromevox since package last time I checked was no longer on the-brannons.com site any longer. It shouldn't take us long and if necessary I'll use my be my eyes app on iPhone to get help.

Chromium works with speech-dispatcher on all my machines here. First I installed Chromium and added the ChromeVox extension. Then I copied /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop into ~/.local/share/applications and edited the Exec= line as follows:
Exec=chromium --enable-speech-dispatcher %U
Upon saving the file, Chromium when run from the menu or with a URL from MATE's run window will start with ChromeVox and speech-dispatcher enabled. Keep in mind that GNOME's run window doesn't allow typing a URL directly as in
https://google.com/
so in GNOME, you will need to run Chromium from the overview or explicitly add the --enable-speech-dispatcher line as in
chromium --enable-speech-dispatcher https://google.com/
Hope this helps.
