cat /sys/accessibility/speakup/no_interrupt
is just: 1
try this:
echo 0 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/no_interrupt
Best,

Kirk's experience is similar, but a bit different to mine. On his machine speakup does respond to key presses, but the response is only after an unacceptable delay. He, as a workaround, replaces the /usr/bin/espeakup installed by the current debian release, with a copy of the /usr/bin/espeakup from an older release. Doing this, speakup responds to keyboard input immediately.
