It has been a long time since I did very much bash script programming so I'm not sure of the current state of dialog. The problem is that a lot of curses based programs do not automatically use the show cursor mode of ncurses so speakup has nothing to track. You can either explore dialog for a configuration setting to have the cursor shown or use a package such as libnewt or whiptail which both have pretty good show cursor modes. My guess is however that dialog probably does have a show cursor mode if you hunt for it.
