Not that I know of, but it's generally pretty self explanatory.   Go into
/proc/speakup and you'll find a whole bunch of files.   Some contain
parameters, some contain strings to be sent to the synth, and some contain
values that control speakup directly.  Particularly be carefull with
messing with anything in the synth specific directory as you can seriously
lock up your machine if you fiddle with settings such as jiffy_delta.

These files act just like normal files.  To read a value, cat the file or
view it in a pager like more.  To change a value, write to the file (e.g.
echo 5 >/proc/speakup/pitch ).  Speakup should cope OK if you give it
values that are out of range.
