Do you happen to have the espeakup package installed too?  They can't
work at the same time.

Otherwise, could somebody from debian-accessibility check whether
speechd-up works with the current speech-dispatcher?

No. I do not have espeakup installed.

I removed espeakup because I wanted to try if speechd-up would solve atleast part of the one problem I have (maybe offtopic here). For some reason if espeakup speaks something when computer is booting then screen reader does not speak on Gdm login screen and on desktop. But espeak speaks on console. So I have to reboot sometimes severaltimes. If espeakup does not say anything when computer boots, then screen reader speaks on gdm, but not on console. If I then login to desktop then Orca speaks on desktop, but if I go back to gdm screen whitout logging out from desktop first then screen reader does not speak on gdm screen. espeakup also does not speak on console. If I logout from desktop then screen reader starts to speak on gdm screen again, but espeak still does not speak on console. So I can not switch between desktop, gdm login screen and console, I am blind so I need to use screen reader.

I have no idea to which package I would need to file the bug, because I do not know if the problem is in espeakup, pulseaudio, speech-dispatcher, Orca or espeak / espeak-ng ...

So I wanted to try if speechd-up would solve atleast part of the problem.
