In your speech-dispatcher.log, I see this: [Sun Nov 6 21:34:35 2022 : 781132] speechd: Initializing output module voxin +with binary /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_voxin and configuration +/home/lenny/.config/speech-dispatcher/modules/voxin.conf [Sun Nov 6 21:34:35 2022 : 781180] speechd: Output module is logging to file +/run/user/1000/speech-dispatcher/log//voxin.log [Sun Nov 6 21:34:35 2022 : 782083] speechd: Module voxin loaded.

That's something I haven't done, and don't have experience with. My best suggestion is to copy your system wide voxin.conf into lenny's configuration directory: mkdir -p /home/lenny/.config/speech-dispatcher/modules cp /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/voxin.conf /home/lenny/.config/speech-dispatcher/modules/ chown lenny.lenny /home/lenny/.config/speech-dispatcher/modules/voxin.conf Reboot, and see if you get speech. If you don't, you should now at least have a voxin.log file which should help pin down other problems.
