Hello, Seems like you may be correct about the -b option, when I do:
$ espeak --help
it mentions the -b option being for 8-bit encoding. Unfortunately I don't know how to get espeakup to set this up as the man page for espeakup doesn't list any options related to that. I think this may be a problem with espeakup rather than GRML's espeakup package. I am sorry I can't suggest much more than may be try and get espeakup from git and compile it, or try asking on the speakup list (I know the author of espeakup views the speakup list).

So the question is: Based on which Espeak was Espeakup compiled? I remember that old versions of Espeak couldn't read unicode chars correctly, if they were beyond ASCII 127. One had to start Espeak with an Option, I think it was -b. Speechd-up now works perfectly. But: Due to an unsolved issue with libasound2, SD sometimes crashes; it hasn't been fixed till now. The SD team knows about that, but they couldn't figure out what's going on, since this happens not on all machines. Hermann
