Since I am in Alpine with 135 lines, I tend to use a num-pad 9 to rapidly scroll through text. Well, more often lately, I suppose a buffer is over-flowing, I don't think so. It seems more likely that the control character to quiet the speech is getting dropped. I do not know a way of changing the output buffer of speakup, but I think you'd want to make it smaller not larger, to increase interactivity. I'd be very surprised if the problem is in the text and control characters from speakup reaching the speechd-up buffer. It's much more likely that the audio driver isn't receiving the flush command. I too am having issues with software synthesis using speakup. I'll let the list know when I've made any progress towards something better . --FC > as sometimes for several minutes it will continue reading, no keystrokes or tty changing will stop it until its finished. I even tried altering the niceness of speakup-and-voxin all the way from 10 to minus 20. Didn't seem to make any difference. As it is with Voxin, I still hear a smijin of a previous line jumbled with a current line. I did try an embedded Alison voice, but last November on a trip to NJ, speech mysteriously quit, no errors in the log, couldn't get it back with > sudo ./speechd-up > Anyway, I am not exactly thrilled with performance of software speech on this laptop.
