Adam, I believe I found this,  There was a flag that was set in the
driver that was having speakup insert a space when sending to the
synthesizer after a punctuation symbol.  I'm not sure why this was there
unless it had to do with older dectalks.  It has been removed.  It has
been removed.  Can you test again?

Thanks,

William
