Speakup in Combination with Emacspeak and others

[Sean McMahon]

While speakup is running, press the printscreen key.  speakup will say "you 
killed speakup" use your other speech program, orca, emacspeak, ...  Then when 
you're done, exit that program and press print screen again to bring up speakup. 
Speakup will say "I'm alive"  hth
