No, that is not what I mean.  I am pleased to report that speakup is 
working fine with the apollo in debian wheezy.

  I was surprised to find this.  I have not attempted software speech 
although I am sure it will work now that I have unmuted the sound card 
but given the choice, I prefer the hardware speech.

I have not knowingly installed anything special to make it work but did 
use hardware speech throughout the wheezy install.
