Help with running Speakup on Kali Linux

[Gene Collins]

Hi timothy.  You probably need to load kernel modules.  you can type
modprobe speakup_soft
in order to load speakup.  then for software speech, you'll need to run
espeakup.  You will need to do all of the above as root.  Of course you
will need to be sure your soundcard is not muted.  Which synthesizer are
you wanting to use?
