Brltty does work with eSpeak-NG. Could you please post your brltty.conf so that
we can have a look at it? You can directly test it by running brltty with the
-sen command line option.
It could be that the brltty you're using doesn't include the eSpeak-NG driver.
The output of brltty -v should show which drivers it contains.

The "trick" is to ensure that you have eSpeak-NG's development package
installed.
