Well, Speech Dispatcher is started by init (as well as other services
such as apache etc.).  This is, however, far from having a speech
enabled boot process, since these services are started at the very end
of booting.  This is the playground for Speakup, but you can't rely on
any user-space speech synthesis system.

Best regards, Tomas.
