Fenrir is a text-mode, userspace screen reader written in Python. I haven't used it myself, but its gaining popularity as an alternative to espeakup. The two biggest pros I've heard is that, as a user space application, it doesn't require a kernel module(espeakup requires the speakup kernel module) and should thus be easier to setup on distros that don't ship staging modules in their default kernels(speakup has been trapped in staging for years and has little chance of graduating to kernel main short of a complete rewrite as I understand it) and built-in support for Unicode(arguably of limited use for English-speaking users, but could be vital to those whose native language uses a non-Latin Alphabet). Also, previous messages in this thread would suggest it works just as well in a Terminal Emulator as from the terminal itself, which I don't believe I've heard suggest of espeakup or SBL, the latter which I use for terminal speech myself(I only run X for Firefox, so I can't comment on the question of Terminal Emulators). No idea why Fenrir is named after the Wolf from Norse mythology, especially since its traditional to name screen readers after marine animals and this is the only screen reader I know of with a non-marine animal-based name.
