I apologize if this has been descussed before. I went back through the last few months of messages, but couldn't find anything on it. If the current CVS Speakup sees a character string, consisting of the digit zero, and a letter (I tested it with B and L), it only says the letter. Example: Need to get 0B from archives. Would be read as: Need to get B from archives. This is a problem. I can't imagine that such could be a feature, but I thought I would inquire. Kernel 2.6.18 running on a K7 system. The synth is a DEC Express. Thanks, Luke
