Sleep functionality for Speakup with XWindow

[Michael Whapples]

It would be better to have some of those features that Jim suggests, but for 
just silencing speakup doing 
echo none > /proc/speakup/synth_name
would work. I don't know if that would stop speakup intercepting keypresses, 
may be someone can answer that.

Using speakup to control synths would be nice, but I don't like the idea 
when a software synth is used in speakup, orca, speakup (possibly with a 
driver bridging those), speechd-up, speech-dispatcher and then finally the 
TTS, just seems too much to me.
