Chuck,
It says zaid, which rhymes with paid.  Listen closely, and you'll hear
the final d.
Anyway, here's a description of the problem and the fix.
When you type z or read z with the speakup cursor, speakup sends the
text zehd to espeakup.
espeak renders zehd as zaid.
The fix is trivial.
echo '90 zed' > /sys/module/speakup/parameters/characters
echo '122 zed' > /sys/module/speakup/parameters/characters
