Oh and another issue, not sure if its related or not... if output is one character, it doesn't get spoken. type echo hi speech is hi prompt type echo h speech is prompt inserting whitespace before the single character or after it doesn't make a difference. one speakable character = no speach. again only with auto speaking new text, numpad 7 to go up reads it just fine.
