Well, we are going to have to get a lot more feedback I'm afraid. I am currently looking at the code and I do nothing which would affect letter/number combinations or the "'" character. I do convert newline characters into carage returns but that is the process speech command for the DecTalk so should not cause the word run togethers you mention. I also process speech after ,.!?:; but that's it and that is only when a space follows one of those characters. What punctuation mode are you running? Does anyone else have any issues or observations on these things. I need to be able to find the problem before I can fix anything. I could try replacing those newlines with spaces but then you'd be waiting longer for speech to begin processing which might mean longer delays I don't know for sure.
