Hey Kirk,

I hope you and the family are all well.

As I noted, I can use the keyboard, to have speakup play the line change tones while using review by word, so that's not it.

I'm guessing there's some problem in espeakup or speakup_soft.

I'll update a buster system to use a 5.10 kernel and see what happens.

Be well,
--FC

When I write a lot of output to a screen, say dmesg without a pager, screen review stops working for a few seconds. I know speakup is still responding because the tones are played when navigating by word when moving to a new line. The speech is interrupted appropriately but it will not speak again for a few seconds.
