Initial success with Espeakup

Initial success with Espeakup

[Zachary Kline]

Hi,
I've just downloaded Espeakup from Git.  I'm pleased to say that so far 
I've had quite good success with it, and Espeak as a whole seems 
responsive.
I did notice slight delays between my use of the control key to silence 
speech and the time it actually got quiet.  This is a minor problem, 
though.
Great work!
Best,
Zack.

Ditto here.My espeak comes from a Debian package rather than compiling
from source, and I had to separately install libespeak-dev to compile
espeakup. It's nice to have the control of voice parameters with the
speakup controls.

Great job, William. Many thanks.

Chuck

That's to be expected I think, since the proper way to silence speakup
is with numpad-enter.

In reality Greg, I would guess some of us are used to useing controll as 
earlier screen-readers Vocal-Eyes--and-Jaws use that.  About the only way I 
will use the other kee, would be if some1 else is working on the machine--and-I 
come up from the right to stop it

You should be able to catch up with the control, or any other key for that 
matter, but
espeakup/espeak is a bit sluggish in stopping.  It is hoped 
that something 
can be done about it, but it's not too much of a big deal as Zack has 
already
indicated.
