doubletalk lite issue fc 3

[Janina Sajka]

Kill the automated speech with Insert+NumericEnter, in other words, hold
down the 0/Insert key on the numeric keypad like a shift key and press
the enter key on the numeric keypad.

Speakup will say "you turned me off."

Now you can use the Speakup screen review commands on the numeric keypad
to review the screen selectively, as you may wish to.
