Hi.  I can't answer your question about Braille Monitor since I'm
totally blind and use speech to get access to my computer.
All the tests using test-speech seem to work for DECtalk.  I'm not sure
what was supposed to happen with the "Wait test", but it didn't crash
speaking the sentences.
No matter if I choose male or female, I get all DECtalk voices.
For now, my only other synth is festival.  The festival driver doesn't
seem to have the same problems.

Is it possible to make Gnopernicus use a specific gnome-speech driver
with a command line option?  Since I have Gnopernicus configured to use
the DECtalk driver by default, I'd like a way to try restarting it with
the festival driver from a command line.

Hope this helps.
