The simplest way is to use the talkwith script found in the tools
directory of the speakup sources. If you're not building speakup from
source, then someone else will have to tell you how to get
talkwith. Once you have the talkwith script, and you want to switch to
software speech, you would:
1. modprobe speakup_soft
2. talkwith soft
If you want to switch back to your ltlk, you'd again use talkwith
like:
talkwith ltlk

If you want to do it by hand, (though I don't see why you would), the
process goes like this:
1. modprobe speakup_soft start=1
2. espeakup
Step 2 assumes that espeakup is in your path of course. Also note that
in both instances, you need to modprobe speakup_soft only once, when
you first start it.
