The ps command didn't show speech-dispatcher?
When you run spd-say do you get some error in the console?
Do you have access to the logs of speech-dispatcher?

Thanks!
Looks like speech-dispatcher's not workking. The ps command
indicates that Orca is running.
I know this, by the way, because I'm now getting speakup through
my speakers but not my headphones. (Just somehow thought to test
this.) Any suggestion how to get speech-dispatcher up?

One thing that you can test is
speech-dispatcher.
Run: spd-say 'hello'
At least you will know if speech-dispatcher is working.

Greetings! Apologies to anybody who saw
a variant of this post on the
Blinux list, but this list seems a reasonable place to ask for
help
with at least the Orca part of my problem.
Yesterday, after a fair bit of reading, rereading, and
following what
looked like relevant advice from that reading, I ran the
upgrade from
jessie to stretch. I used "apt-get dist-upgrade." It seemed
to be
successful in most respects; it didn't abort, anyway.
When I rebooted, I got what clearly were a bunch of Speakup
messages.
Apparently, the upgrade enabled espeakup.service, which I had
disabled
in order to run my own script for getting speakup. At no
point did I
get Orca, not even using the super-alt-s keystroke.
When I got myself into a terminal, I tried disabling
espeak.servvice.
When I rebooted, there was no speakup, but also no orca;
again, the
keystroke to bring it up did not work.
I went into a text terminal, which of course was speechless.
I tried
enabling espeakup.service again, just to get some kind of
speech, but
this failed. I tried a couple more times. (I know I was in a
terminal because the poweroff command did shut the machine
do2wn.)
I suspectt there's this particular thing or two I need to fix,
but I
don't know what that is and have no speech anywhere to find
out. At
the very least, I'd like to get Orca talking, and then maybe I
can
retrieve my previous speakup set-up. I'll be grateful for any
help.

[p.s. I've read the accessibility section about disabling
pulseaudio.
I may do that again, but when I did it the last time it
preventing my
listening to an online radio station, hence the script for
using
speakup after I was logged in via the gui. I hope to use
speakup with
my Tripletalk LT, but that will come later.
