I tried installing a clear archlinux installation using archinstall and though the installer talked when booted correctly, the installed system failed to talk with espeak-ng and espeak. I'm going to try two things next. First boot the installed archlinux system and hit down-arrow then enter during the boot process and see if that turns speech on. If that fails, the next thing I'll try is to install a new version of jenux and see if that comes up talking. I usually go with a minimal installation (no desktops) since in the past such installations were more stable for me. When I tried the archlinux installs recently, I chose minimal rather than desktop install choices. Before I knew about the archinstall script, I installed archlinux according to directions in the large installation-guide and have braille notes for that kind of installation.
