Hi Cheryl,

Earlier in this thread, you said that you are loading the speakup_ltlk
module, but now you are saying that you have a doubletalk.  That module
is speakup_dtlk, so I'm confused about which synthesizer you have.

If you press print screen when speakup stops talking, does it start
again?  Also, what is the value in /sys/modules/speakup/parameters/full_time?

Thanks,

William
