I've never used speechd-up. Can you check whether the kernel modules were loaded - lsmod should list them? If not, try loading them manually, and note any errors.
If the modules were loaded, then they're not involved in the issue, presumably. In that case, you'll need more detailed error messages from speechd-up. Enable any debugging options that it has, and run it again. You might need to edit the configuration file or run it directly from a root shell prompt.
