Hiya, Another option might be to use the native Espeak language support for PTBR. I think this requires modification of one or two files in /etc/speech-dispatcher, but am not sure. Maybe you should try looking into this? Hope this works, Zack. s ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cleverson" <clever92000@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 7:13 PM Subject: Problem with accented characters Hello all I use eSpeak through Speech-Dispatcher. My native language is brazilian Portuguese. In addition to the conventional alphabet and numbers and punctuations, We use some characters that are out of ASCII range but not out of Ansi range, that is, they are between 128 and 255. For example, the characters "?, ?, ?, ?, ?" correspond respectively to the ansi numbers 224, 234, 237, 245 and 250. I placed all these characters in the /proc/speakup/characters file and did a cat, but they are not being spoken when typed, nor read in the middle of words as well. My locale is "pt_BR.ISO-8859-1", and I know that the related characters are perfectly displayed at screen, but when I navigate through letters in a word, nothing is spoken in places of any accented letter. I was wondering if chartab may have something to do with this problem. What do mean these codes in chartab, such as " B_CTL, WDLM, A_PUNC, A_CAP, ALPHA, B_SYM", etc etc? Any suggestion please to help me solving this issue? Many thanks Cleverson "Be realistic; ask for the impossible." _______________________________________________________ Yahoo!
