I don't know if that would stop speakup intercepting keypresses, may be someone can answer that. Using speakup to control synths would be nice, but I don't like the idea when a software synth is used in speakup, orca, speakup (possibly with a driver bridging those), speechd-up, speech-dispatcher and then finally the TTS, just seems too much to me.
