If I may jump in here ... When using the bns, I have to issue the silence command (numpad-enter) once if speaking a single line, twice if speaking a large block of text. I have had to do this since I can remember, certainly a number of years before Okash's patches. Using read to end is something I didn't test until John mentioned it. When I do speakup+r, I just get a beep from my pc speaker, and nothing else. I've looked through the speakup help provided by speakup+f1, and don't see an option for read to end. I'm using the kernel I reported my recent tests with using Okash's speakup patches. I also am inside a text editor where I can use the arrow keys to move around.
