no,never.I think it was preinstalled in my Pangolin upgraded from Oneiric Ocelot (11.10 amd64)

You can remove it. If it threatens to also remove applications you use then cancel the removal.

I saw (in ubuntu sofware center) speech-dispatcher is another application I have preinstalled: probably speech-dispatcher library is used at the same time by TWO applications: espeak and speech-dispatcher

Ok run:

sudo apt-get --purge remove espeak

Press N to not uninstall it and paste the text here as an update. If it removal with no prompt then run:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Then reboot. The fact that a package is "preinstalled" doesn’t make it necessary. A default install of Ubuntu is very bloated with all kinds of things. For example if you use webmial instead of an email client you can uninstall Mozilla Thunderbird and get the space back that it takes up.
