Hmm, it would seem to me that this is something that should really be handled at the OS level. That is, when a backspace is done, an even should fire for anyone listening that says "hey, such-and-such a letter was back-spaced over." For example, in windows, not only does every keystroke generate an event, every time a key is pushed down, it triggers a separate event, as it does when a key is released. So every keystroke should be dealt with by the OS in at least three ways. Or at least, it should have that ability. Having said that, those events probably fire within the application that you're dealing with, so I don't know if there's a way to re-direct them to something which is running within speakup.
