how to get zsh to work with a screen reader

[covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi.  Well, this is going to be a peculiar question, but I hope someone
on here can give me a hint.  I use speakup which is in the staging area
of the kernel as a screen reader because I am "visually impaired".  Now
when I use zsh, I hear the entire line repeated when I do a completion,
or after I type a carriage return, I hear the line I just typed, even
though there is not an extra copy on the screen.  So what I was
wondering, is if zsh is writing the whole line out under many conditions
-- whereas bash is not doing that.  I am willing to change the code if
necessary, because I want to keep using zsh, but this problem is very
annoying.  When the lines are  repeated, it repeats the prompt and the
whole command line, so if I am doing a completion and its a long file
name, you can see where this could get old very fast.  So, any
suggestions as to how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
