Many thanks for your very prompt reply and for the link to the Espeakup Systemd service file from the Arch Linux distribution. I had been reading about Arch Linux and Espeakup before contacting this list and had even considered borrowing their Espeakup service file, as you suggest. I wasn't sure if that was sensible, however, so thought I'd ask an expert. I'll certainly test the Service file with Gentoo over the weekend and let the Gentoo Accessibility mailing list know whether it works or not.
Thanks once again for your help. John
