getting speakup to work in ubuntu

[milton]

Hi,

I only use Ubuntu gnome-shell desktop GUI with Orca master but out of 
curiosity I installed espeakup with sudo apt-get install espeakup.

With Control+Alt+3 I launch a console and was surprised to have speech 
without doing any extra. I was asked to login and then to type my 
password. Espeakup read a welcome message.
