Hi, the subject tells the story: When I start Espeakup using the direct file set to "1", I get no punctuation chars spoken when I type or spell by using left/right arrow keys. When direct is set to "0", and the characters file is used, everything works OK: However: Non-English users have to adjust the character file in order to get the special characters of their language spoken correctly. When I use Speechd-up with Espeak, everything's right, no matter what value direct has. Any ideas? Hermann
