There's a very easy fix for this: renice 3 `ps -e |grep speechd-up |head -1 |cut -d' ' -f1` sets the niceness level of speechd-up to 3, and the spelling issue goes away. No need to compile your kernel without preemption of the big kernel lock, etc. It works for me, at any rate. YMMV. PS. I think there are issues with speechd-up, but I can't quite put my finger on them. speechd-up seems to be overly greedy when reading and speaking text from /dev/softsynth. -- Chris
