The base Arch system now uses systemd by default, but the version of 
espeakup in community doesn't yet have a working systemd unit file. I 
have sent a working unit file to the devs, and it should be released to 
the repos shortly. Until then, save the unit file I'm attaching here to 
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/espeakup.service. You will 
also need to be sure that speakup and speakup_soft are loaded 
automatically at boot time. To do this, create a file called 
/etc/modules-load.d/speakup.conf and include the following lines

speakup
speakup_soft

Note that you may reboot the Talking Arch installer, mount the new 
installation and run arch-chroot to do all this with speech feedback. 
The next time you boot the new system, it should start speaking 
automatically. Hope this helps.
