A question on speakup

[Linux for blind general discussion]

My thought, was that more than simple  abbreviations would be enough.
Not so much greater details, but if possible indicating   what to what 
those abbreviations refer.
There are more than  one dectalk hardware option for example, still hoping 
someone answers the question about  software dectalk, as I believe it 
existed with windoweyes, dectalk 32 perhaps?, so learning it may be a 
Linux option  in this case might help many.
