What screen reader are you using at the console? If you use braille, there's a
chance that you're using BRLTTY, which has no speech enabled by default. For
this you have to install brltty-speechd and configure BRLTTY to use it in
/etc/brltty.conf.

Regarding speech-dispatcher: you can run it in system-wide mode, but as far as I
know, you need to run pulse as a system service as well, please correct me if
I'm wrong. There are instructions for pulse on our wiki page:
https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Run_Pulseaudio_as_root

For the speech-dispatcher part, open /etc/default/speech-dispatcher and set the
line containing "RUN=no" to yes. It should run as a daemon by default. You need
to restart the appropriate services or reboot.
