As mentioned on the debian-accessibility mailing list last month, there
is an issue in version 1:0.80-5+deb9u2, you can use version
1:0.80-5+deb9u3 which is available on

https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/tmp/stretch-staging/espeakup_0.80-5+deb9u3_amd64.deb

as well as in the stretch-proposed-updates distribution, to be included
in next stretch point release.
