Hi Jim: You may not have missed anything. Is this a recent cvs checkout of speakup? The reason I ask is because the echo command works when changing back and forth between loaded synths but it doesn't properly load new modules and initialize them correctly. Try doing a modprobe on synth module initialization such as: modprobe speakup_dtlk or modprobe speakup_sftsyn and then load the speechd-up daemon after loading the softsynth module. I just made some major modifications to speakup's synth loading method in early December and I am missing something with my echo synth_name >/proc/speakup/synth_name method I haven't figured out yet.
