Not that I know of, but it's generally pretty self explanatory. Go into /proc/speakup and you'll find a whole bunch of files. Some contain parameters, some contain strings to be sent to the synth, and some contain values that control speakup directly. Particularly be carefull with messing with anything in the synth specific directory as you can seriously lock up your machine if you fiddle with settings such as jiffy_delta. These files act just like normal files. To read a value, cat the file or view it in a pager like more. To change a value, write to the file (e.g. echo 5 >/proc/speakup/pitch ). Speakup should cope OK if you give it values that are out of range. Geoff.
