Hello Tony: That sounds like speakup isn't putting your current process to sleep when the synths buffer gets full. If you can check the virtual console device after this happens and see if the text output stopped at that point or if it completed as I suspect it had. When the synths buffer gets full speakup is suppose to put the spewing process to sleep until the buffer has cleared enough room to allow continuation. I'll look at the code and see if the go-to-sleep code has gotten munged for the DECTalk Express driver.
