Hello, Does anyone have Espeakup working on Ubuntu 18.04lts in a cli? I've got Gui speech going with Orca and Voxin. I'd like to get espeakup and speakup or yasr or a console screen reader going so that when I flip between graphical and cli tty I'll always have speech. I'm getting an installation error with espeakup, this is on a fully updated Ubuntu 18.04lts amd64 virtual machine. #apt-get install espeakup Reading package lists...
