my take on speakup and dectalk

[Hart Larry]

Well, I do think the bug in 2 consecutive punctuations causing a word to be 
spelled is actually a Dectalk cause.  However, in the mixed numbers/letters 
case,  I agree that Speakup is the only screen-reader where I've experienced 
this.  While I am certainly not a programmer, I used Vocal-eyes and Jaws over 
10-years--and both have pronunciation dictionaries.  Since Speakup is one of 
the only screen-readers not to have a dictionary other than for typing 
charictors.
Speakup and Jupiter have been the only ones I've used while in Linux for going 
on 1-year.  I would love to tryYASR or even try-and run Vocaleyes through 
dosemu
