Can speakup pronounce February correctly?

[Raul A. Gallegos]

You could easily edit the characters file.  What I do is keep a copy of
my modified speakup parameters in /etc/speakup.  copy characters from
/proc/speakup and open the /etc/speakup/characters file.  Find the entry
for zed and change it to what ever you wish.  As stated on here already
it may be preferable to keep it at zed which I do, but you are open to
do what you feel is best.  One thing I do is change shift-3 to read as
pound instead of number.  Once you change what ever you want just copy
the newly created characters file back  into /proc/speakup and you are
done.
