Hi, I have noticed Speakup being unstable on Arm64 as well. This seems to be limited to this arch from what I can tell. Amd64 works fine. One thing I notice is that the first 10th of a second or so the speech cuts off. For example when reading by character half of the character is not spoken by speakup.
My exact setup is a Vmware fusion guest on an m2 pro based mac.
