So basically, what I get if done right is terminal speech via analog
audio, and, at least on my end, mate audio using usb audio. So what
has to be done is the usb soundcard obviously has to be inserted when
you power up the pi, but you should also have speakers plugged into
the analog output. There is some supposed way to fix this if you go
into sound properties in mate and change the audio output so it's not
using audio adapter, but mate uses Alsa and while espeak doesn't
stutter persay, it does introduce a little under a second of lag.
Granted, I'm using a Miccus Minijack tx4 connected to a bluetooth
speaker which inevitably produces a little bit of latency, but we're
talking miliseconds here, thus Alsa is definitely responsible for the
better part of the latency.

You need to follow the instructions exactly. Piespeakup will NOT work
with a soundcard but will work with either the headphone jack or HDMI
audio.
It will give you console screen-reader speakup with no stuttering.
In the page:
http://www.raspberryvi.org/stories/stuttering.html
There is a link to a podcast of me demonstrating the stuttering and the
fixed audio with my OMX code and piespeakup.

Hi Mike,
I currently have espeak working with an external sound card. Can I use
your instructions to switch to using espeak via the regular headphone
jack? I am using raspbian jessie.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] Quick start again
Hello
Again here are some quick start instructions for the new build method for
the OMX audio code and piespeakup.
First, it seems the armv7 Arch image is broken, but the armv6h image will
work on all Pis.
To install on either Arch or Raspbian:
OMX code:
wget http://www.raspberryvi.org/Downloads/ilctts-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf ilctts-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd ilctts-1.0.0
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Piespeakup:
wget http://www.raspberryvi.org/Downloads/piespeakup-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf piespeakup-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd piespeakup-1.0.0
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe speakup_soft
sudo systemctl enable piespeakup
sudo systemctl start piespeakup
On Arch you will need to add this line to the bottom of /boot/config.txt
:
dtparam=audio=on
And note the word 'Downloads' in the above wgets has a capital D.
To change from the 3.5mm jack to HDMI, edit:
/etc/systemd/system/piespeakup.conf
And change --device=local to --device=hdmi
(I can't test that bit because i do not have an HDMI TV or monitor).
Mike
