Invoking speechd-up as --run-single (-s) or --run-deamon (-d) makes no
difference with respect to the functionality. It's only a matter
of convenience; if you like it to run on the foreground or on the
background.

The important thing is that --probe is only for testing if the
connection to Speech Dispatcher and the rest of the speech synthesis
chain works correctly. So you hear only a test sentence with this option
switched on.

Have a nice day,
