The big problem here presently is Speakup is locked to the hardware based addresses for a standard internal serial port. It has been my understanding that these USB to serial port converters won't work with Speakup in its present form. Until that gets corrected, the software speech argument stands. Also, I thought new computers so often come without serial ports that some day, you wouln't be able to even find one.
