Hello, Thank you Zack and Greg. I replaced the codes for bynary letters with codes for alphabetic letters in chartab where apropriate, and now Speakup is reading the accented letters. However, when an accented letter apears in the middle of a word, it pronounces that word as they were two words, one from the begining til the accented letter and another from there to the end of the word. Is it possible to configure what characters are word delimiters and what are not? Thanks, Cleverson "Be realistic; ask for the impossible." _______________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - Sempre a melhor op??o para voc?!
