If you're running in a text console, you'll hear speakup. If you're running in gnome, be it a gnome application, or a command prompt under gnome-terminal you'll hear orca. As for which synth is used, that depends on which synth you've configured whichever screen reader to use. If orca is configured for espeak, it will use that.
