getting speakup to work in ubuntu

[David]

Hi there - new to ubuntu, but not with linux or speakup

 

With sighted help, I was able to install ubuntu server 22.04 LTS

 

Question 1: is it possible to install with speech, without sighted help?

 

After the machine booted up, I ran this and got no message [no news is good
news?]

 

# modprobe speakup_soft

 

So I installed 'espeakup' which brought in a bunch of other packages:

 

# apt-get install espeakup

 

And I get no speech,rebooted and that did not change anything

 

Question 2: did I missed something?

 

Any comments/help/direction/instruction appreciated, thank you very much in
advance

 

--David
