Can you run Espeakup manually - that is, directly from the shell, outside of systemd?
You'll probably need to look up the command line arguments it needs. You
could start with the command line that is in the systemd unit file.
If it fails to run, you should be able to capture any error message,
enable any debugging options, use strace, if necessary, and so on to
track down the issue.
