As I said, the man page says squat in Debian. TIA, The simplest way is to use the talkwith script found in the tools directory of the speakup sources. If you're not building speakup from source, then someone else will have to tell you how to get talkwith. Once you have the talkwith script, and you want to switch to software speech, you would: 1. modprobe speakup_soft 2. talkwith soft If you want to switch back to your ltlk, you'd again use talkwith like: talkwith ltlk If you want to do it by hand, (though I don't see why you would), the process goes like this: 1. modprobe speakup_soft start=1 2. espeakup Step 2 assumes that espeakup is in your path of course. Also note that in both instances, you need to modprobe speakup_soft only once, when you first start it.
