Ah, that would only work, if it works at all, on a reboot.

What you want to do is:

sudo systemctl start espeakup

Assuming that you're up as an ordinary user able to sudo. Else, you need
to become root first. Then, if the start command works, you want the
enable command to make things permanent.

Basically, though, we need lots more info to debug this one.

That's why yours truly is suspicious of automated installs. Sounds
thrilling, I know, but the reality is usually underwhelming.
