You don't run Speakup in terminal mode, but rather from a text console which has its own login. You should compile the ttsynth connector for use with Speakup. Source file and instructions are on the ttsynth.com page. Whether you modprobe for speakup_sftsyn, or do 'echo sftsyn >/proc/speakup/synth_name' depends on what kernel you're using and how >it was compiled. You don't say, so I can't tell further.
