You got me wondering now.:) Either you are using an old version of speechd-up or you have already succeeded in adding the missing functionality to Speech Dispatcher generic output module ;) Without -t, speechd-up will rewrite the punctuation tables of Speakup. Thus punctuation can be handled in the synthesizer itself and internationalization and better intonation are possible. With Regards, Hynek
