Hi, Listers: I've been helping a gentleman in Denmark with an installation of linux. He has the following question about speakup which I cannot answer. Anyone here know the story?

In the later case we will have problems, since danish have 3 letters in the upper part of the ansi tabel, this means normally that a word definition sticking to letters only will go wrong everytime you meat a word with Danish characters in it. But for the accent and sound I expect everytihing except the english to sound ok. > > I can get a newer apollo when I reach that level of testing, since the institute have such one. > > Greetings Hans. > > > -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
