Hi, Kirk: Finally managed to track down my issue. I looked at the characters table in speakup. It had no names, only simbols. Oh and BTW...Pitch-case did not work with the version either. Didn't matter if a letter was capital or not. So, I fianlly installed: Gentoo-sources 2.6.19-Gentoo-R2, And upgraded speechd-up. I believe that I traced this to a speechd-up bug. BTW..Kirk...just what is speechd-up and how does it work? Just wondering. And is software speech an CPU-intensive process when set to nice -20? Thank you! Regards, --Keith
