Hi, I am using speakup with debian etch with 2.4.18 kernel as found at people.debian.org/~shane and find that if I type a capital letter the dectalk's speech drops pitch and I need to turn off and on the express before pitch is restored the way I like it and the rate. Has anyone else had this similar problem and will there be a fix for it? I also find that if I am reading large passages of text speakup will suddenly stop reading and I will need to wait and keep pressing the number 7 if I want to read what has been displaied. I sometimes use grml with software speech and find that speakup spells everything instead of speaking it and rather slowly. Reading on the grml list It looks like the prempt option in processer type and features is causing this problem. Is there a way that speakup could be written where that setting would not effect speech? Does the debian kernel for speakup include software speech support? I also found a debian package called kernel-patch-speakup that is the source for the patch but when I tried to patch it into the standard debian kernel the patch failed. Does anyone on this list manage that package and could it be updated?
