How up to date is this informatin?
Have these issues been taken up on the Speakup mailing list with the
developers?
I haven't used Speakup myself, but it has been around for a long time and is
still an active project. Also, it was mentioned in a recent mailing list post
that Ubuntu provides it by default. Perhaps the version they are using fixes
the issues you're referring to.
I know that Yasr with an Emacspeak speech server does work.
