I'm having a problem accessing the speak: device in direct phoneme mode.
According to the 1.3 Enhancer Manual the option "/a1" should bypass the trans-
lator sending the "string" directly to the narrator device.
When I:
"1>echo > speak:opt/r/p130/s125/d1 "helllo leesa""
The amiga (a1000) outputs: "hello Lisa" (roughly :-> ).
But when I:
"1>echo > speak:opt/r/p130/s125/d1/a1 "kumpyuw5ter" (<< RKM ex.)
The amiga output is silent.
If I repeat the previous line without the "/a1",
The amiga outputs: "compuIVEter" (my caps).
If my reading of the RKM narrator device section and the enhancer manual is
correct, the "5" should have indicated a stress on syllable without the
pronunciation of the word "fIVE" in the middle.
Any ideas? CATS?
Thanx!!

You must use all caps when in direct phoneme mode. echo > speak:opt/r/p130/s125/d1/a1 "KUMPYUW5TER" will work. The '5' will not become 'five', but will work as expected. Sorry if the RKM was unclear. == Adam

You need to supply phonetic input in upper case: "1>echo > speak:opt/r/p130/s125/d1/a1 "KUMPYUW5TER" works fine for me. -scott
