Accessible Coconut speech at startup

[Linux for blind general discussion]

There is a shut down option on the bottom of the alt+F1 menu.
Or use the hotkey
ctrl+alt+delete
You will have a chance to choose shut down restart or suspend or do nothing and the system will shut down after a count down.
Press the windows key 
Type terminal and press enter
I’m not on my Linux at the moment, but I believe terminal is  also on the accessories menu.

>>> I downloaded the accessible coconut iso and put it on a bootable usb drive. I was able to boot the machine from the usb, but there was no speech to guide me. I was able to confirm that I indeed booted from usb with accessible coconut by using my iPhone camera. I have no idea how to get the speech going. So please if you have a tutorial, send it my way.
