Hi: It seems speakup 0.09 does not cope well with missing synths. I know prior versions coped much better. My PC running 0.09 seems to cope OK too, so it's probably a case for some selected synths. It has always been the intention that speakup-enabled kernels would cope with the synth not being present. As for swapping synths, this won't be possible till the synth driver modules stuff has been done. This is a big job and might take awhile.
