Hi,

Apologies for a late follow-up. I am struggling to reproduce
this. Could you explain what you mean by reading large chunk of text?

Here is what I did. Set up speakup with espeak. Then in
console, opened spkguide.txt with less. I allowed it to read a full
screen but couldn't find garbled text. Shall I do it with more
screenfuls? I also opened spkguide.txt with cat and let speakup read
for some time which was definitely more than one screenful.

Thanks,
Okash
