Hello all: I have language switching in speakup for hardward synths but not for speech dispatcher. If you can point out the appropriate portion of the manual Hynek I'll be happy to write in the some code for doing it. I'd also like to know about dictionaries. I thought I remembered reading at some point in the documentation for speech dispatcher the capability of developing dictionaries to modify pronunciation but when I was looking for it specifically I could not find any reference to it. I guess I must have been using cheap drugs again. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
