First, I did see your email to me privately, and I want to appologise
for not answering it.  This list is a better place to get this type of
question answered, because you will get more input that just from me.

I am on the speakup team as well, and the reason I wrote espeakup, is
that it is a small lightweight connector, which can be used more easily
on embedded systems, live cds, etc.  It is one daemon which reads
directly from the soft synth device for speakup and calls espeak
directly to speak it instead of passing the information to yet another
process to speak.

I haven't used speechd-up enough to comment more about it, but I'm sure
there are others on the list who have used both and can give you a
better feel for why they prefer one or the other.

William
