super-t may get you a terminal which gives you a command line.  You'll

then type mate-terminal or gnome-terminal and hit enter.

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.
