Hi Chris et al, I hadn’t considered that the characters Unicode values would fall outside that range. The actual CP437 just uses different mappings for 0 to 255. I was hoping I could do something with the characters file to make them read reliably. I imagine the process of getting Speakup to handle Unicode is non-trivial. Thanks for the answer, even if it isn’t what I wanted to hear. Would the speakup “pass text directly to soft synth,” option help at all? Best, Zack. > On Apr 9, 2016, at 5:24 PM, Chris Brannon <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi Zack, > Well, Speakup doesn't play nicely with the Unicode characters outside of > the range [0, 255].
