Well here's an update. It seems that Bullseye no longer uses /etc/rc.local, I created the file, but my command: sudo /usr/bin/speakupconf load didn't work. So I put it in crontab sudo crontab -e and I added: @reboot sudo speakupconf load and my saved settings get loaded. But it is back to using eSpeak. spd-say test, without sudo is still silent but with sudo, I get Voxin. So, espeakup, or just speakup, whichever I'm using, is not runing as sudo, which I wonder is why it is defaulting to espeak. Any ideas on fixing this? Thanks.

So, on my Debian Bullseye 32 bit, I have Voxin talking with either espakup or speakup, I don't know which it is. I am not sure which of the following did the trick. I installed speechd-up but IBMTTS only worked under sudo, and only with spd-say And previously, I had installed speech-dispatcher-ibmtts Which helped, but it wasn't working with speakup. So finally, I installed just speech-dispatcher and now IBMTTS/Voxin is talking with the screenreader, whichever it is. But here's the only problem, when it reboots, the rate is really slow, and it repeats: failed failed to load speakup and then it gets to the login prompt, after about twenty times of stating the above message. And although I run speakupconf save it does not save. I thought I wrote speakupconf load into somewhere in INIT.d or something so it would load. So I'm almost there, but if anyone can hint me on why it isn't loading up the screenreader settings, it would be much appreciated.

Yes. To make use of speech-dispatcher's modules, you need to use speechd-up, which connects speakup with speech-dispatcher. Samuel
