I suppose these are in German, not English. They should be (if
translated).

Do you have the posibility to run gnopernicus with another TTS? Or to
run it only with braille or braille monitor. This way you'll be able to
find if the problem is gnopernicus in general or the speech part.

Because it dies, gnopernicus restarts it (that's way "speech restored is
heard"). 
You can try to update gnome-speech package. Also, in order to find out
if speech is problem try the "speech-test" program.

What version of gnome-speech do you have installed? To find this run
"rpm -qa | grep gnome-speech".
