Hi Kirk and list, i havn't found anything about the commandline in the wwww, but sending the a whole driver-file to the synth made it speak german. So i have to look deeper in this file and hope. At present our german special characters like ? (a with two points above ) are not spoken, but this may have different cases. ( i will ask, if they are at the screen visibile at all) Now, exploring Linux and Speakup can start! many thanks regards Lutz,
