Re: cannot load speakup_decext module

Rudy,

If your model is, indeed, a DecTalk Express, you need the speakup_dectlk module, not the speakup_decext module. The latter is for the pre-Express original Dectalk, which I’ve never actually seen. Hopefully this goes some way towards solving your problem.
Best,
Zack.
