Well I wrote too soon. I rebooted a second time, to see if those very slow voxin errors would happen again, and espeak loaded with espeak, something about an error with something, I wasn't able to review the screen. Maybe that is in the speech-dispatcher or IBMTTS or Voxin logs.

But the voxin voice spoke correctly with the speakupconf load settings loaded after that, and voxin sounds normal, and except for that annoying slow load up error, it is now working in speakup. So making the /home/lenny/.config/speech-dispatcher/modules directory and putting voxin.conf there seems to fixed things.

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.
