Hi. It's been a while since I used speechd-up. I'm not sure if it's even being developed any more. One issue to consider is the problem with speech-dispatcher crashing with certain sound cards. It will crash if I use it with my on board card, but works fine with my sblive. Espeakup works fine on the card that causes speech-dispatcher to crash. Since I rarely use Gnome now days, I use espeakup and let Orca use the gnome-speech driver for espeakup when I need to run Gnome.
