Even though speakup doesn't support USB synths, you can identify hardware synths via the USB subsystem and load the appropriate speakup serial port driver. I have a udev rules file that could identify 2 or 3 different hardware synths and worked with debian squeeze. I don't think I ever tried it under wheezy. I've switched to ubuntu and have not tried it at all with systemd udev. I had an idea of trying to get as many people as possible to send me USB identity strings so I could add more and more rules.
