Yes and no. Before you can run orca setup and use the Dectalk you will 
have  to recompile gnome-speech from source in order to get the Dectalk 
software driver. Ubuntu do to some license issue can not include a 
Dectalk Software driver for gnome-speech on the live cd and install. So 
you need to compile it from source first. What I did to solve this issue 
is get orca setup for festival, used orca to recompile gnome-speech, and 
then reconfigured orca for dectalk.
