Hi Danny, I'm not a speakup developer, so one of them should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. However, in the version of speakup I have, 3.0.3, there isn't a way to do this from the CLI. The only way I'm aware of is to use the keyboard command to kill speakup--think it's the "print screen" key? I've just been looking around the /sys/modules/speakup/parameters directory and not found anything obvious. Hope this helps, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Dalton" <d.dalton@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup" <Speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 6:59 PM Subject: killing speech from cli > Hi, > > Is there a command line argument or something I can echo to speakup to > kill speech?
