speechd.service for systemd

Where should this file exist so systemd can find and enable it on an
archlinux system?
As things stand now, I'm using pipewire with wireplumber and although
spd-say speaks when run from command line it cannot speak its working
message inside spd-conf and paplay plays a sound outside spd-conf it also
fails to run properly inside spd-conf and produce a sound.  I'm using
speechdispatcher-git from aur repository hoping to have better luck with
that than the version in extra repository.  I have had espeak-ng running
on this system and got fenrir running.
Interesting thing is fenrir does not come up as a speech synthesizer
choice in spd-conf and neither does alsa or libao both of which are
installed among other audio systems and this user is in the audio group.
I figured speechdispatcher in some version could work on this system as
expected but that isn't the case for some reason or reasons.

The speechd.service I have is as follows and I don't know if it's correct
either.
