Speakup problem.

[Janina Sajka]

Well, I haven 't pegged mine to typing speed and I'm also a fast typist. 
Short of preventing such things from happening, I don't see how there 
could be anything that wouldn't disrupt what you're doing in order to 
effect a fix, though. I guess the best would be to reduce the number of 
keystrokes required.
