As of this evening the Dectalk Express driver in speakup appears to be working. That is it seems to find the synth at start-up okay. I have removed the [:pe -389] command to shorten the period pause so if you're not happy all gang up on Tony! 'grin' As for the numbers in the midst of words problem don't hold your breath. I don't have an Express and without one to beat on myself there's probably no chance of fixing that one. Part of the problem is the stupid synth doesn't handle mixed words well itself. Kirk p.s. This is speakup in git with linux v-2.6.24+ that the driver is fixed for. Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
