Hi, Yes it is both choppy speech and speakup reviewing commands being
very slow to respond and yes I get the freezing of speech if lots of
text is sent to the espeakup process like when catting a long document.
Where in the service do I need to add the nice value? Nick Gawronski

Hi, I am often doing testing of software like Android building and find that
speech will stop during one of the processor heavy building processes. What I
would like to be able to do is to change espeakup and other processes so they
run with the highest niceness
Are you experiencing choppy speech or does speech just pause for a time?
I use the following in rc.local. You could build a systemd unit for it, if
you'd like.
Good idea. I have submitted it to
https://github.com/linux-speakup/espeakup/pull/46 and added to the
debian package. It's a matter of adding
Nice=-10
in the [Service] section of /lib/systemd/system/espeakup.service
I'm going to go read the bug reports to see if this is already being tracked.
If not, I will open a bug.
I don't remember any. It's commited already anyway, so no need any more
for a bug report, thanks :)
Yes I could always tell the building process to not use as many jobs but this
slows down the building process.
You can also do the converse:
nice -20 make -j 40
to make the build nicer to the rest of the system.
But yes, better make espeakup prioritized, thanks for raising the issue!
