Well in running spd-say -O again, I noticed more specifically, the module for speech-dispatcher was espeak-ng. So I tried espeak-ng test and it didn't work, bad command. So I did apt install espeak-ng and it installed. Then espeak-ng test worked. But speakup still does not work, I also rebooted. Interesting how spd-say spoke using just espeak, when the -O said that espeak-ng was the module in use, but it was not installed. But still no speakup. Is there a speakup.conf file somewhere where I can specify the TTS?

But I found this page: http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/speakup/2013-October/058386.html which suggests the following: Debian based distros start speakup/espeakup at boot. So, you don't need to edit boot scripts to make that happen. First put this line in /etc/modules speakup_soft which will load speakup's software speech module. If you don't want to reboot, you can simply load it by hand the first time by running the command: modprobe speakup_soft You won't need to do that after subsequent reboots since the speakup_soft module will be loaded for you when the system boots. * end of page copy But neither reboot nor the command brings up speakup. Even though speakup did work before, that line was not in /etc/modules until I just now put it there. Hope someone has some ideas, spd-say works with espeak, but not Voxin, and I can do espeak test and it works.

I have tried sudo modprobe speakup sudo modprobe speakup_soft and sudo speakup_soft and nothing works, but I don't get an error either. It just returns on sudo modprobe speakup Not sure what to do now. spd-say is still using espeak, so it should at least run with espeak.
