I'm surprised the rate thing didn't work for you but for punct_level, try 3.
For me, 3 set punct_level to "all" and I get all punctuation marks spoken. I
use a speakout with Speakup 1.00.

I think punct_all would currently contain all the characters to be include -
not positive though. What kind of synthesizer are you using? That might make
a difference on what to pass to the rate / pitch / volume parameters.

Hi, list. I tried doing the following with absolutely no success.
echo 9 >/proc/speakup/punc_level
echo 9 >/proc/speakup/punc_all
I have even tried the rate settings by doing something like:
echo 7 >/proc/speakup/rate
Thus far nothing is working. Speakup won't set to whatever I do. Any 
suggestions? How in heck does one get Speakup set and change voice 
settings?
Thanks.

Yea, I know what you mean. I got caught in that little trap when I put out
my speakup configurator program. I have a speakout hanging on it and it
works great with it:) but it missed the mark with other synths. So I have to
store parameter ranges and valid values for each synthesizer as they come
along. BTW, I am still working on it but it is coming along a bit slowly.
When I get near ready for testing, I'll have to depend on youall to try it
out with the synths that it supports at that time since I don't own those
other boxes.

express. Each rate is an approximation of the number of words per minute the
synth will speak. The punc_level ranges from 0-3. 0: none, 1: some, 2: most,
3: all. Do not edit the /proc/speakup/punc_all file, as it instructs speakup
to speak all punctuation i.e. all punctuation marks are listed in that file.
As far as I know you can't change that one anyway. The only changeable ones
are punc_some and punc_most.
