Why does the speech system like to spell instead of read words?
Hello, once more, and probably for the last time for a while. I know I am really bothering people on here, so I will leave it alone after this one.
I have to use the speech on here so I have to make sure that it is really working well. It is except for one minor thing. How do I keep the speech system from jumkping into this strange mode where it likes to spell everything letter by letter, and, rather slowly, at that, rather than just read the words. Is there a way to correct this? I will get it done.
Thank you.

You don't even mention the type of speech system you use. Hardware based speakup? Software based speakup?

Hi Doug, The reason for Speakup spelling words has to do with the preempt kernel option being turned on in the default Grml kernel. If you compile a kernel with the Grml sources and turn this option off this will go away and Speakup will operate as you expect.
Thanks, Tom
