You can run gnopernicus with any speech driver. But is possible for some to contain errors. Dectalk driver contains a known problem - gnopernicus becomes quiet sometimes (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167810 for a solution). You can exit from this by pressing CTRL LEFT key (shutup command).

You can choose what driver you want gnopernicus use from interface Preferences/Speech/Voices/EditAbsolute. From this dialog select the driver and the voice you want then press "Force all voices to selected driver and speaker".
