So please, readers of this thread having users of talkwith and
speakupconf, try these scripts and let us know what you think.

Maybe by young folks. I'm nearly 72y old...

This being said, assuming hat most readers are using systemd,
maybe they just can replace for instance in speak-with:
chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.espeakup
by
systemctl disable espeakup.service

chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.espeakup
by
systemctl disable espeakup.service

sh /etc/rc.d/rc.espeakup start
by
systemctl start espeakup.service

sh /etc/rc.d/rc.espeakup stop
by
systemctl stop espeakup.service

PS I just realized that the syntax in this line of speakup-save and
speakup-restore:
SYNTH=$(</sys/accessibility/speakup/synth)
is not specified by POSIX
I should have written instead:
SYNTH=$(cat /sys/accessibility/speakup/synth)

I reattach the (corrected) scripts to this email with for convenience.
