Hi Steve and all, first of all thank you very much for your praise of the new speakup. Hopefully it'll even get better before we take our next break. Any bugs you or anyone find you should jot down and then email them to me. I or someone else will look into them when we get a chance. On-the-other-hand if you want to have at them, go ahead! You can send me either the diffs or a copy of the fixed file if it's something like a driver. On my system the speakup-7 and 8 are the voice options. I'm not sure off-hand what they are if anything on the speakout synths. The delimitor functions allow you to set the word delimitors. The default is the comma and period. I find them very disconcerting as well so they may just change back to none by default eventually. You can edit them by either cat'ing a new delimitor string to the delimitors /proc file or with the speakup-f7 key. When you use the speakup-f7 key you just hit whatever character you want or don't want to be a word delimitor and it will toggle on and off. You finish your editing by tapping the space bar. We really do need to have someone take on the task of documenting all this stuff so if you or anyone else would like to volunteer to take that on it would be great. Otherwise it'll wait until someone gets tired of answerring the same questions over and over.
