Speakup in Combination with Emacspeak and others

Another thing you can do is just silence speakup with speakup-enter so
the review functions are still available.  This way you can use
emacspeak or speechd-el in conjunction with speakup.  I really liked
doing that with speechd-el Emacspeak is pretty well self voiced on its
own but sometimes I like to look at the status line or at a specific
line in the buffer and I find it quicker to use speakup functions to do
this as I'm more familiar with speakup over the other two.  Since Gnome
is a totally separate environment, I wouldn't think you could use
speakup at all during that time due to the use of a windowing manager.
I could be wrong but......

I did it this morning using the left-most key of the three-key group on the far right of the function key row:  that is, to the right of the three groups of four function keys.  The same key kills it and brings it back.  Hope this helps.

I use software speech out of necescity, which implies speech-dispatcher and all that.  I'm not sure if I need to echo to proc and disable the software or not.
