Also you may want to install the latest version of espeak if you are using the espeak specific module (the module called espeak, not espeak-generic) as earlier versions don't support changing the espeak voice through speech-dispatcher. Also try disabling any modules you don't actually want, while it doesn't solve the problem being there in speech-dispatcher, it removes it for you. So if you still get errors with modules you need, say which ones you are using (I suggest using the speech-dispatcher names as there the two espeak modules, espeak and espeak-generic, and things are different for these two modules).
