Are there any control codes one can stick in to output strings that will cause speakup to spell the next string phonetically or even just the next letter? The normal behavior if speakup sees a string that says "house" is to say the word "house." Would there be a command to say "hotel oscar uniform siera echo" when passing H O U S E? If so, How do you resume normal operation after doing that? Speakup does say an individual character phonetically if you move the speakup cursor over a letter using the number pad and them strike Delete twice quickly. If this is not possible, no big dealbut I was working on a project of mine and thought that if it is possible, I would simply send control codes to cause speakup to spell phonetically for amateur radio call signs. Thanks to all. Martin McCormick _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
