In the case of software synthesizers, we should just drop the character processing. Punt the problem to the synth. And let Speakup's punctuation-setting commands control the synthesizer's punctuation level. I'm not sure about hardware. There's one character that we still need to pronounce: the space. If you use direct mode, you'll notice that space is never spoken! I wonder whether most folks consider this annoying? -- Chris
