Hi all. I'm new to the list, though I have been using Speakup for a couple of months now, and love it. I am using an Apolo II synth with Slackware 8.0. Anyway, I was just wondering how I can prevent the synth from pausing in the middle of words, not just words, but even punctuation. For example, if it falls in the wrong place, instead of saying slash, it might instead say sla, sh. This is not a major problem, as I have got used to it, but I would like to get it solved if possible.
