Hi Mica and list,
Got the speech working well. Now I have one question. I have a script for making Speakup talk. I get as far as speech dispatcher and then it peeters out. How do I tell Zsh to sleep or wait a few seconds before envoking the rest of the command. Also is there any special syntax I must use to echo the synth-name to /proc/speakup/synth_name in this script? This will also hold my prefered speech settings also. I did do a chmod 777 to this file which is located in /usr/bin/sws. Thanks for the help.

How about using 'sleep $NUMBER_OF_SECONDS'? :)

Just execute:
echo sftsyn >/proc/speakup/synth_name
