Steve, I upgraded my CVS speakup early Sunday morning. Kirk mentioned these features in a note to the list the day before. numpad 8 pressed twice rapidly will tell you the indentation before reading the current line. Doing the same with numpad 5 spells the current word. Pressing the speakup key and the five, which used to be how you spelled a word, now spells the word with phonetics. Pressing the numpad 2 twice rapidly now gives the phonetic of the current char. Pressing speakup 2 now reads the screen from the cursor position to the bottom.
