Are you sure that you don't have two copies of Speakup installed? I do have a different problem when using a version of espeakup that is not the latest. Here's a typical interaction. echo 2 > ~/.speakup/soft/rate # force rate to 2. speakupconf load Speakup continues to speak at rate 9, even though /sys/modules/speakup/parameters/rate now contains the value 2. This is fixed if I compile espeakup from the latest sources. Espeakup is exhibiting some undefined behavior when it receives commands that it doesn't understand. Speakup sends a "set punctuation" command during speakupconf load. William recently added support for that command to espeakup, but previous versions don't understand it. Some of the rate and pitch issues with speakupconf load will go away if you compile espeakup from git. HTH, -- Chris
