Are you serious?

  yaourt -Ss espeak

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=espeak

Yes, there is

  yaourt -Syua

but note, yaourt is neither an official supported, nor a recommended
tool. PKGBUILDs from AUR, especially when build from git, need your
attention, since there unlikely will be a release upgrade available, if
there should be a soname issue. It's your responsibility to maintain
those packages on your system.

  man yaourt
  man pacman
