According to Matthew dyer:
# How do I know if I am running espeak ng?

Espeak-ng-git is a package in the AUR. It is not a supported Arch 
package, especially since it depends on pcaudiolib-git, which is also an 
AUR package. These packages are cloned from master git repositories, so 
most likely won't be grabbed by a TU until there is an actual release.

The espeak package from the community repository is the last version of 
the original non-ng espeak as released by Jonathan Duddington before he 
appeared for all intents and purposes to have fallen off the face of the 
internet. If you have installed espeak via pacman, you can safely assume 
that you are not running espeak-ng, as there hasn't yet been an official 
release of espeak-ng, and the espeak and espeak-ng packages are set to 
conflict in Arch. Hope this helps.
