Thank you. I'll try that as I think my session died sometime later after posting my original message. I actually have a second raspberry pi that I got this year and the image I put on it was jessie which does not have speakup_soft and apt-get install espeakup runs without errors but also without working so I will give this a try tomorrow as it is getting late now. I can think of a zillion uses for a raspberry pi with working speech. They are pretty useful even without speech if you can ssh in to them but the speech is a great force multiplier and makes a lot more things possible than before.
