DecTalk Settings from Within Speakup?

[Gregory Nowak]

I've opened an issue about this. It can be found at:

<https://github.com/bytefire/speakup/issues/11>

As far as speakupconf, you will have configuration settings in either
/etc/speakup, or in $HOME/.speakup. It depends on if speakupconf is
run as root, or as a normal user. Since you seem to be the only user
of your system, it makes sense to store the settings system wide in
/etc/speakup, which is done when you run speakupconf as root. If
you're already running speakup as a normal user, and saving your
settings in $HOME/.speakup, that's fine. Just keep in mind that
speakupconf will save/load different sets of parameters, depending on
who you run it as.
