Hello and qeustion about SpeakUp

[Michael Whapples]

I don't think there is anything I really could add to that manual page
for espeakup. Chris I think you hit the nail on the head in the manual
when you said:
"From the perspective of an average user, Espeakup's operation is
invisible".
In fact so invisible that I never needed to read a doc on espeakup to
get going with it on GRML, the only thing that needs doing to get it
running (once speakup softsynth module is running correctly) is run
"espeakup", and then I forget its even there. Its software like this
which unfortunately doesn't get credit because people forget about it,
but it is really nice to have software which just works. So to all
involved with espeakup, thanks for this great software.

The only docs I think could be written for espeakup would be distro
specific ones as it is very hard to give any detail in a general doc
(eg. details of how to add it to the start up scripts, how to prepare
speakup, etc), but that is beyond the scope of the manual.
