It can be even simpler ...

Here's an easy way to do this. Become root on your computer and issue
the following command. You only have to do this once:

rpm -iv http://SpeakupModified.org/speakupmodified-release.rpm

This will install our repo files for you in /etc/yum.repos.d/, and it
will insure that the kernels you get in the future are Speakup enabled
kernels. It will also install our GPG key.

We have this covered.
