There would already be code in speakup to talk to different hardware
synths. I don't know how portable that code is. But you could probably
look at the speakup code to see how to set the speech rate for a
liteTalk for example. If that code is portable, a large part of the work
would already be done.

You can treat the serial port like a file (this is linux after all),
just do open in the i nit section and write characters to the file.
The name will be something like /dev/ttyS0 or similar. Note the
capital S. As an example look at the espeak driver, so you get all
the things in the right places.

Right, this would require a speech-dispatcher module file. The thing
I'm not sure about is how to do the serial port I/O from
speech-dispatcher. The speech-dispatcher modules are .conf files, so
maybe the answer would be a separate program to expose the serial port
to speech-dispatcher modules, or a modification to the actual
speech-dispatcher code to do that.
What I like about the synth_direct approach is that speakup already
does the heavy lifting, and speakup and gnome-speech would use
speakup's interface to talk to the synth, which would mean they both
wouldn't be setting parameters and causing a mess. The disadvantage is
it requires speakup to be loaded, which I already use anyway, so it
doesn't bother me personally.

You might need to write a driver in speech-dispatcher, that would do
exactly what you want. I have been thinking about this for years, but
never had the time to do it.
