Hi, Chris,

What a friend and i did, was to use a script like this one, put it in
/sbin, and call it in /etc/rc.local.  The name of the script is spk, and
it's like this:

---

#!/bin/bash
killall -9 pulseaudio
sleep 2
aumix -v 100 -w 100 -W 100 -p 100
sleep 2
espeak -a 200 "shutting down previous speak up session. Please wait."
sleep 2
killall -9 espeakup
sleep 2
modprobe -r speakup_soft
sleep 2
espeak -a 200 "Starting Speak up.  Please wait."
sleep 2
modprobe speakup_soft
sleep 2
# echo soft >/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth cp /etc/soft/* /speakup/soft
# /usr/local/bin/punc3
sleep 2
espeakup
sleep 2
# /usr/local/bin/bellset
espeak -a 200 "speak up has started successfully.  Thank you for waiting."
# last line.

what you'll need to do is replace our software synthesizer with your
preferred one, and put a numbersign befor the echo statements.  Good
luck,
