I imagine that whether or not Speakup works with Unicode characters would depend in large part on the speech synthesizer used. Add to that, of course, the fact that seeing a character on screen and pronouncing it are two different things. So, all told, I'm just curious about this topic in general: what works and what doesn't? I'm not going to be doing anything foreign language related myself, but do like the idea of being able to put in an accented letter now and again. Best, Zack. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkgqFScACgkQin/v02aBfhrGnACfYklfjL7aUpS/5IA0ldQgBXCx Xe8AoK6BzXN8Lbp5qLF/IN0XBMHBDlHD =A+j8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
