That's correct except for the following, The module is speakup_apollo, and I was asking about speech-dispatcher specifically as I wish to use the apollo also with orca.

Speech-dispatcher is normally used with software speech, particularly when used with speakup, as speakup has greater hardware synth support and that removes extra layers of software, but non-kernel software is needed to communicate with software synths.
