| Howdy,
Not sure if this helps, but you can also use fenrir, what does not require any kind of kernel involved. In fact there is no need for installing at all (as it could used from git tree).

On the ubuntu-accessibility list I asked if a sound message at substantial volume could be played to let installers know speakup can't yet work with an existing kernel bug. Now that brings me to a couple other questions that may be useful. For the current case if fenrir were installed, could it run as a stop gap until speakup can be made to run? Also, if fenrir can run, could a script run after a sound message got played to install and activate fenrir for the console? Once speakup became available the workaround code to handle this bug could be removed. It would be helpful to installers if a notification about speakup and the kernel having been fixed would come up on their machines. I realize this is a big ask, and in my case I have no linux support local to me blind or sighted that could sort things out with the possible exception of be my eyes and their support while useful can at best be partial.

One of the things the Accessibility Guild is working on is to make our processes around accessibility stronger. When we had a devoted person for this, we just took the process for granted, and when they left, the process did too. And obviously, this has to be frustrating and disheartening for Speakup users. So, long answer short - I hope this is the last time we have to go through this, and I'll do what I can to help make that happen.
Well, that's great but are we going to have to go through this
again for Kinetic Kudu, 22.10? The same thing happened now for
Hirsute, Impish, and Jammy.

Adrian,
According to my colleague, if the output of uname -r ends with
'generic' on the ubuntu server 22.04 LTS you're running, it will
be fixed soon.
(Sorry I can't test it myself - I am stuck abroad with a
really minimal setup and this is my first day back at work
after being ill. It's almost 7 PM here so I'll be winding down
soon.)
Thank you for offering to share your insight and feedback -
it's very appreciated!
Monica
Sure, I'd be happy to help. Feel free to share
my email address with your colleagues.
The version was ubuntu server 22.04 lts. I
will install it again and test it more, and also the desktop
version to try to give my best feedback possible.
Thanks
Adrian, could you let me know more about
which specific version of server? I'm talking to one
of my colleagues on the kernel team and he needs more
information.
And I'm only one of a group of people at
Canonical working on accessibility. My main job is
to be a bridge between them and the community. Can I
give the Accessibility Guild your address (and
anyone else's e-mail address, if you'd like to talk
to us about how we can improve accessibility), we
would like to know your feedback and suggestions!
Hello Monica
Does this affect also ubuntu server?
I've installed Ubuntu server and no speakup
module was found when i tried to load it.
I'm very happy to know about you,
because i think there are a lot of things in
ubuntu to talk about accessibility. If you are
open to listen, i will be happy to help with
feedback.
Thanks
Hello!
I'm Monica Ayhens-Madon from the
Community Team at Canonical, and I'm part
of our Accessibility Guild. I've had a
chat with people on our kernel team and
there is an existing bug being fixed, and
Speakup should be available in updates
soon. Please feel free to reach out to me
with any questions or any other
accessibility issues I can raise
internally.
Cheers,
Monica
Arrgh!
Speakup seems not to have been compiled
into the Ubuntu
Jammy/22.04 kernel. Same thing as in 21.04
and 21.10. Man! Well, I guess
I'll have to file a bug report ... again.
