No, that's all you need to do. Make sure espeak is installed and
working, switch to the soft synthesizer either by hand, or as Chuck
described in this thread, by using the talkwith script, start
espeakup, and all should work. It has worked this way for me
anyway. That's the beauty of using espeakup over
speech-dispatcher/speechd-up if you want to use espeak for English
speech, it's that simple to setup.
