Apparently, Speakup Utils has problems if the exact settings it expects aren't present. For example, with the Accent PC, there is no voice setting, but instead, there is a tone setting. So, when you arrow to the voice setting, a value of 0 is reported. After this, all values are stuck at zero and cannot be changed. It would seem to me that the logical approach would be to skip non-existent settings. Another approach would be to make all synthesizers in Speakup have the same controls. I.E. give the Accent drivers a voice setting and have it map to the tone setting. This is basically what screen readers for that other OS tend to do. Which approach seems more logical to you all?
