i got it working but whatever i do i can't get it to shut up when i'm typing. i commented out nointerrupt but that didn't help. i tried in speakup.conf, wouldn't help.. i can't shut up key echo either. and i can't get punctuation to read when i set it to all in the configureation file . sorry for my bad spelling but this key echo is screwing up my typing. i use the speakup provided with zipspeka. can someone help me? i want punctuation spokien and i want interruptability and a way to .. never mind about that last wierd comment, stupid key echo.. o yes, shut off key echo.
