Hi, I've noticed these bugs going back to at least 2000. I didn't report them at the time because I didn't realize they were bugs and Speakup was still in very early development. This happens on every kernel I've tried with Speakup support. I am not a programmer but I tracked part of the problem down to the init string sent by the speakup_dectlk.c driver. 1. Period pause: For no apparent reason, the following command is sent to the unit when the driver initializes: [:pe -380 ] I have no idea why the period pause is greatly shortened but no other program that I know of does that. It gives speech a choppy quality. That should be removed from the driver. 2. Unspoken numbers: I don't know what commands are being sent to handle numbers, but numbers in the middle of words aren't spoken after I've used Speakup for a while. For example, you should hear disk 1 part 01 but it's pronounced disk part 01. The exact string is: disk1part01 If there is a bug report form I should fill out, let me know. This bug still appears as of the lastest cvs version that I've looked at.
