Ok, I just did some testing using synth_direct and aparently the missing digits bug is a Dectalk bug and not a Speakup bug! Sorry about that! The apostrophe bug is a different story. The text "This doesn't work!" is spoken by Speakup as "This doesn t work!" but send it to synth_direct and it is spoken correctly.
