I heard that some speech synthesizers use hexadecimal values instead of regular numbers for parameters such as pitch and rate. What does /proc/speakup do with these parameters. Let's say I had one of these synthesizers and I read /proc/speakup/rate. Would this show the hex value or does Speakup's proc interface convert these parameters to regular numbers? Also, if I did something like echo 9 > /proc/speakup/rate would Speakup's proc interface convert ithe "9" to the hex value? I'm asking because if this isn't the case, I have to make changes in my Speakupcfg and Speakupctl programs in order for them to be used with those type of synthesizers. Thanks. -- Ryan
