Good day, The direct option recently described on this list sounds good, but what would be the way to get it to speak special characters? I took it for a quick spin with espeakup and found that things like the dash is not spoken. Also, special characters like those with an umlaut is not spoken. Is the direct option only relevant for key echo, or does it also have an effect when, for example, one cat a text file?
