It looks like the node-module speak.js breaks when you submit any options along with the string to be read. See below for an illustration using the included example. Any ideas as to what's going on?

An Explanation of a Signalling Game in Game Theory
A signaling game in game theory is one where one player has to make a decision based on an
incomplete understanding of the other player. The idea behind this game is most often
applied to an employer hiring an employee, and the signal most often used is a college degree.
Let's start at the beginning. Game theory is a way to determine the outcome of an event
involving more than one rational actor based on each actor’s preferences. These preferences
are often represented as a number. For example, I prefer chicken to fish, so chicken is
represented by 2 and fish gets a 1. The number doesn't matter, only that chicken is higher
than fish.
