Hi, Did you echo the value to voice as I explained in another message? The message is below again for your convenus. Hi, you may wish to read the speakup users guide it explains fully how to use the speakup proc system. The users guide is found at http://www.linux-speakup.org To access it you would type Echo int > file Replace int with the number you want and replace file with the setting you want to change. Type ls from the proc/speakup directory to get a list of files. To see a file value type more filename. Replace filename with the value you want to see. Hth Once again the users guide will explain all of this. Hth
