I've opened an issue about this. It can be found at: <https://github.com/bytefire/speakup/issues/11> As far as speakupconf, you will have configuration settings in either /etc/speakup, or in $HOME/.speakup. It depends on if speakupconf is run as root, or as a normal user. Since you seem to be the only user of your system, it makes sense to store the settings system wide in /etc/speakup, which is done when you run speakupconf as root. If you're already running speakup as a normal user, and saving your settings in $HOME/.speakup, that's fine. Just keep in mind that speakupconf will save/load different sets of parameters, depending on who you run it as.
