This, of course works :-) /usr/bin/speakupconf just uses cp to move the file into place... I wrote (17apr): > I haven't discovered any effect that the synth parameter > "punct" might have.

It's the intermediate value 1 that makes the difference: The punct parameter controls the punctuation-level applied to the synth_direct input. When punct is 0 or 2, then # $ % & * + / = @ are pronounced, and when punct is 1 all punctuation seems to be pronounced. The new Speech::Speakup version 1.02 is on CPAN. Unfortunately the little demo app it comes with, examples/speakup_params has a bug left over from testing. So, until 1.03, use: http://www.pjb.com.au/blin/free/speakup_params instead.
