No need to apologize. A lot of us are non-native :).

Espeakup/Speechd-up are using the Linux-internal ALSA sound system. The
graphical interface uses the high-level Pulse sound system which exclusively
locks the underlying ALSA device. So by default, you have sound either on the
GUI or console. There are multiple ways around it. If you are using speech and
braille, you might want to switch from Speakup to BRLTTY and configure it to
also emit speech. Personally, I am quite happy with its speech screen reading
capabilities.
If you are using BRLTTY, you have two options:
1. You run pulse as root, described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Run_Pulseaudio_as_root
This means that both the GUI and BRLTTY can share the pulse sound server and
hence both can emit sound. You need to configure BRLTTY to use this root
pulse instance.
2. You disable pulse audio completely, which is easier but has its drawbacks
and not all applications respect this. If you want to experiment with this
option, have a look here:
https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Disable_Pulseaudio
Maybe other list members know another option that I am not aware of.
Please let us know if you need more details.
Cheers
Sebastian
