advantages of using espeakup

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Hi,

There are two specific reasons why I prefer espeakup with espeak,
rather than speechd-up and speech-dispatcher with the espeak option.

1. The responsiveness of the speech system is much better with
espeakup. 

2. The speakup volume settings work with espeakup, and are inoperable
with speechd-up and speech-dispatcher.

The reason the second point might be important is to adjust the
relative loudness of speech output in comparison with other audio
output being generated at the same time, such as music or audio
streams. Mixer settings or physical volume controls cannot adjust the
relative loudnesses, only the overall loudness of all sounds.
