List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, I've actually created a perl script called reset which does that for me. However, this happens so much that it is frustrating. I have to switch out of what I am doing quite often to reset this problem. I was merely wondering if there was a way to fix the problem out right so that it would rarely or never get locked in high pitch tso often. I seam to notice it happens when I type fast. I am rated at 75 words a minute, and when I start getting up to full speed speakup simply goes bonkers. Is there a way to change Speakup to echo words rater than characters. perhaps that will reduce that problem.
