Yes, I did leave off the point that you might have to use espeak. It 
didn't occur to me that anybody would use anything other than espeak 
with speakup. Actually, you can probably use voxim too which has even 
lower latency than espeak. Well, maybe I shouldn't make such a 
definitive statement. When I used voxim last, it's latency was even 
lower than espeak on my machine.
