Yeah, I thunk of that after I posted my original message. I upgraded to
buster/testing and now I get speech. This is going to be a server and I
am a little leery of running testing on a server. I am thinking about
doing another install of stretch and configuring backports, assuming
that still exists.
I used to run testing on servers all the time. One huge advantage is
that debian testing is essentially a rolling release so you never have
to do a version upgrade. When I ran debian testing in the past, I never
had a problem. That was a long time ago and I don't know. Linux is
different these days. It's way more complicated and significant bugs
even get into stable versions.

Stretch is based on 4.9.x. That means that it still has the old broken
serial drivers without the new drivers supporting standard and USB
serial ports.

What kernel version are you running -- I wonder if this would change
