It might be possible to do it with a vim script And it is possible :-) if you copy spokenmode.vim (after the .sig) into your ~/.vim/plugin/ dir (you might have to mkdir it first) then you should see the contents of /tmp/t change according to the editing mode. It just remains to find something in /sys/accessibility/speakup/ which switches between two suitable voices...
