It needs some modification to work with the /sys/module... hierarchy, but it has 'nice' incorporated into it and makes things easier to start/stop/restart. I don't have the exact url at ahnd, but you should be able to find it. I posted on this list about it, so it should be in the archives too. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll dig it up.

To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
I'm still working on building the speechd-up debian package but here is a
link to the init.d script:
http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/debian/speechd-up.sh
It assumes the software speech driver is compiled as a module. But I think
that if the driver is compiled into the kernel, you get an error message but
no harm is done. I haven't tested that though.
