Hi Dan: You can use the loadspk program to change the DoubleTalks punctuation value. If you dumpsk >speakup.conf and then edit the file. There is a line which says 'punct = 7' by default. If you want the synth to say "zero, one two three" change that value to '3', or punct = 3. You can then load the file with loadspk. I will worn you that changing the punctuation level to some other value than no punctuation '3, 7, 15', will have dramatic affects on speakup output so be careful. good luck kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
