Hi, what I usually do with GitHub is to use its API, since it has the 
advantage of not breaking uscan when they do changes to the web UI.

See 
<https://salsa.debian.org/debian/yuzu/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/watch> 
for example.

In your case, as you have to download an asset and not the automatic 
tarball produced by GitHub, I'd do something like this:

   version=4
   opts="searchmode=plain, \
     
filenamemangle=s/.+\/speech-dispatcher-@ANY_VERSION@.tar.gz/@PACKAGE@-$1\.tar\.gz/" 
\
   https://api.github.com/repos/brailcom/speechd/releases \
   
https://github.com/brailcom/speechd/releases/download/\d[\.\d]*/speech-dispatcher-@ANY_VERSION@.tar.gz

It could probably be done in a cleaner way, but my knowledge of regular 
expressions is pretty limited :/
