Hi Michael,
Many thanks, your procedure is significantly cleaner than the approach I
followed. How do I disable speakup when the GUI launches?

Hello Pranav,
Try this:
sudo modprobe speakup_soft
That should load two modules:
speakup_soft
And:
speakup
The first depends on the second, so the second will get automatically loaded at
the same time.
Do this at any time:
lsmod | grep speakup
And if you get results, then the modules are already loaded.
To get speakup_soft to load at boot-time, create the file:
/etc/modules-load.d/speakup.conf
And put this line in it:
speakup_soft
I usually put a blank line or two before and after.
Then when the module is loaded, you can:
sudo apt-get install espeakup
And assuming you have libespeak-dev installed, then you should get speech.

Hi Ken and all,
How do I install speakup on the raspberry pi? I cannot tell if it has
been compiled into the kernel. I need some steps to start with and
then I can see what happens.
