 Yes it did work just fine and it use to work in Trixie to up until some 
 updates ago but not totally sure what was changed to cause this issue.€€ 
 Not sure if you also saw this but if you login to the mate desktop and 
 also try to access the console with control and alt and f1 you get no 
 speech.€€ This was also seen in version 12 but at the mate login screen I 
 was able to get speech working in the console just not once I was loggd in.
