Yes, "user@computer:~$" is just my prompt. Try using this command:

~/.local/pipx/venvs/piper-tts/bin/python -m piper.download_voices 
en_US-arctic-medium

It looks like Speakup is compatible with Speech-Dispatcher, and you can 
configure Speech-Dispatcher to use piper (I am currently using piper as 
the default voice in speech-dispatcher, so I can help with that).
