Good day, I were under the impression that I can echo a 1 to the synth_direct ebntry in the /sys/accessibility/speakup directory to tell speakup to just pass the punct/special chars directly to the synthesizer. When I did that, it spoke the one and I also saw that the "file" has -w- -w- -w- permitions, , write-only. This with openttsd and ospeakup running, not that that should be relevant. I obviously got the use of synth_direct wrong, could someone please correct me in how I should go about in doing what I want? I am working on northern sotho for espeak, a language that has quite a number of chars above decimal code 128 and I need to get them spoken in speakup. This can also be terminal settings, but sometimes, I get <C5> when the char is dec 197, so its the hex code for the character and not the symbol that I here. Any ideas?
