The old way to do this is to pass the -t or --dont-init-tables options to speechd-up when starting it. But beware that this will destroy internationalization. It uses Speakups character substitution, which only works for English. The proper way to fix the punctuation problem is to add support to the generic output module so that punctuation can be handled by espak itself in a language dependent way. Steve Holmes kindly offered help to do it. We also seek help with implementing a native output module for eSpeak, which would fix this and many other troubles too. With regards, Hynek Hanke
