Speak is started by Sugar.
Speak is packaged by Fedora. On Fedora systems;

Speak is not packaged by Debian and Ubuntu distributions. On Debian
and Ubuntu systems dependencies include gstreamer1.0-espeak,
gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0, and gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0.
The master branch targets an environment with latest stable release
of Sugar, with dependencies on
latest stable release of Fedora and Debian distributions.
The not-gstreamer1 branch is a backport of features and bug fixes
from the master branch for ongoing maintenance of the activity on
Fedora 18 systems which don't have well-functioning GStreamer 1
packages.
