Hello,
service espeakup restart
worked like a charm! Now I am wondering if anyone knows how to get
speakup to read the key echo characters?
thanks,

I would need a lot more information before I can help you:
1. Are you running this in a VM? I just read about someone else
running the daily build of the Debian Installer under VMWare who had
the same issue. The system installed fine but no speech came up when
booting. It could very likely have to do with the audio emulation.
If possible, try with KVM or VirtualBox. Even better, try on real
hardware.
2. Are you saying that Speakup doesn't work in the live CD or after
the installation? I wouldn't be surprised if the live CD doesn't
support it, but the installed system should work. I think I did get
it to work on a live CD once a long time ago. The Super-S etc is for
starting Orca, not Speakup. You ran the right commands to install
it. The only other thing I would try is this:
service espeakup restart
3. What error are you getting? If it's already running and you have
no sound, see #1 above. Are you using a GUI? You didn't say what
version of Ubuntu you're using. There could be a conflict between
Pulse and ESpeak. Try disabling Pulse. I'm not sure how to do that
because I don't run it here. I would also temporarily remove the
execute bit from the gdm startup script to make sure X doesn't start,
just in case Orca is a problem.
chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm*
reboot
Without more information, I can't help further.

Hello,
How does one get speakup working on Ubuntu?
I tried logging in, pressing s, pressing super+s, pressing super+alt+s,
typing speakup, typing espeakup, typing sudo apt-get install
espeakup, then
typing espeakup, typing speakup, but nothing.
What am I missing?
thanks,
