Perhaps grep can find which file on a system has speakup=speakup_soft in
it and even tell you the line number to check. Since you're an
administrator perhaps do a recursive search from the / directory with
grep and if that comes back with no results then what I found in debian
long ago is probably no longer there.

Subject: Re: keeping espeakup from starting at boot
I ran 'systemctl disable espeakup' on one workstation and it said that
espeakup is not a native systemd service. It then ran insserv for me. Insserv
modified several files including /etc/init.d/.depend.boot. But I didn't find
any clear/easy way to disable espeakup via just setting a flag in a config
file.
So I just punted and deleted /etc/rcS.d/S02espeakup.
I manage approximately 100 workstations and I'd prefer to set a flag in a
config file because I can easily ship that config file to all 100
workstations. It's just as easy to run a command on all 100 workstations but
then there is no record of the command having been run. Well, it would be in
a log but logs get rotated out. If it's a flag in a config file, it's just
there. You can check on it a month from now or a year from now and know how
the service is configured.
My guess though is that I'll be able to get what I want once everything is
converted to systemd. It looks like you will be able to create a custom
config file in /etc/systemd/ that enables or disables the service at boot. In
some ways that's better and in some ways it's worse. If the file exists at
all, you know the configuration has been customized. However,if a service
isn't working, you might not think to look for a custom systemd config file.

Easier way than that, locate where espeakup has speakup_soft defined as
synthesizer and edit that and replace speakup_soft with none.

On the machines used by the other people in my department, I need to keep
espeakup from starting at boot time. We run ubuntu 15.10 so I think this
is a systemd question.
Wouldn't you just go systemctl disable espeakup?
