Hi,
for me this problem sounds like speech-dispatcher deamon is not running.
To check this You can also try running in the terminal:
spd-say -O
this should print the list of available TTS modules.
Or to check speech:
spd-say "some test text"
Best regards

It definitely has orca installed. I just confirmed and installed the following, orca speech-dispatcher espeak and espeak-ng.I did find something interesting that I believe may show the problem. Under the voice tab in orca preferences the speech system, speech synthesizer, language and person options are greyed out and won't allow any options or changes. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thank you,

Did you enable orca inside the virtual machine? It might not have been done automatically just because you used a screen reader during installation.

I recently installed Kali linux on virt-manager. I installed using the speech synthesis option and the screen reader worked throughout the entire installation. It now appears that I can access the virtual machine, but I am having
trouble getting feedback.
Key echo works, but that’s it. I only hear what I type and no other feedback or response. An example is pressing alt and F1 repeats Alt F1,but it doesn’t announce the menu that comes up. I know the menu came up because I had a sighted
friend tell me it did. Any ideas why I can only get key echo and nothing else?
Would appreciate any help!
Thank you,
