No, this only makes the speakup's output available to software speech, but you need speechd-up to actually make use of this output and deliver it to a software speech synthesizer through Speech Dispatcher.

This can be solved when using Speech Dispatcher instead of Gnome Speech with Orca. See http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SpeechDispatcher for more information. Best regards, Tomas
