I just run Orca on the Mate desktop, and you get SpeakUp at the terminal.

Hi, I reinstalled my Debian 9.7 system and selected the Mate desktop this time, so I got a desktop and Orca. I installed Voxin, but was wanting to have the best of both worlds, being able to use both a console and the desktop. So I did some Googling around, and found Speechd-up which is an interface between Speakup and Speech Dispatcher. So apt-get install speechd-up and we're good to go, I can go have fun and eat barbecue sandwiches? Well, not so fast. Below is a log of some errors I was getting when Speechd-up tried to start. Today I rebooted, reinstalled speech-dup after having removed it last night, and it seemed to install okay but still isn't working. Any thoughts?
