Is speechd-up broken in debian 7 or do I need to do something not obvious

[Joseph Norton]

Hi:

Sorry for the confusion.  I do have a file called "speechd-up" in /etc/init.d.  

Here is what happened after I did /etc/init.d/speechd-up start

Starting Interface between speakup and speech-dispatcher : speechd-up[Sun May 19 20:52:57 2013] speechd: Configuration has been read from "/etc/speechd-up.conf"
Starting speechd-up...
To work, speechd-up needs speakup and speakup_soft modules.
They are loaded automatically. If you don't want, type
rmmod speakup speakup_soft
 failed!


Thanks!
