Steve, Thanks for all that detective work. Those settings work well for me too. When you send "cap" to caps-start, are you noticing that quotation marks tag along? You may have to do a speakupconf load, and then speakupconf save, to see them added. On my system that happens consistently, but only on the sftsyn device. Curios.
