speakup newbie

[Tom Moore]

Some basic Ubuntu instructions follow.
Install the speech-dispatcher and speechd-up packages with apt-get.
Then load the speakup_sftsyn module.
with modprobe.

To get this module to load on boot add it to the modules that are loaded at
boot time with:
echo speakup_sftsyn >>/etc/modules

Yes.
Speakup is IMHO better in console mode.
I am not an ubuntu user so cannot really give you specific instructions.  
If you use speech-dispatcher orca and speakup can co-exist peasfully 
together.
