Is that rectified by repeatedly pressing review keys until the speech 
suddenly returns?  (five or six quick hits of a read current character key 
usually brings it back for me)
Or is what I experience a different issue?

I have never run into this with software speech, only with the DEC 
Express, so I'm guessing it is the same issue.
