Um, I had/have an old Asus 720 Chromebook which I used to use. My guess is that speakup is on it which you can check by modprobing speakup_soft as root from the console. It seems to me that I had to blacklist the hda intel driver to get it to be used by espeakup but it's been a long time and I just don't remember anymore. See if espeak-ng will work.

I have been trying to get speakup working on a virtualized containerized debian bookworm environment on an acer spin #713 chromebook without success. Has anyone managed to get speakup talking on a chromebook yet? I'm thinking google which installs this version of linux on chromebooks may have ripped out the necessary speakup kernel support. How I'm writing anything on the chromebook in terminal is by using a screen reader called tdsr. My other linux tower computer died last year so I'm down to this chromebook.
