Hello Mateusz, I apologize if reviving such an ancient thread might go against the rules of this list. Please let me know and I shall refrain from doing that in the future. I am trying to use Provox in DOSBox-X, connected via virtual nullmodem cable to a Braille'n'Speak emulator. Since you are a ProVox user yourself, maybe you have an idea how to keep ProVox from announcing every punctuation character it encounters, such as period, greater than, or colon. The ProVox manual says to turn the punctuation setting to zero (press slash followed by F5 until zero is announced), which I did. Still, I get all those punctuation characters pronounced in words, and a virtual COM port monitor tells me that those words are going over the virtual wire. Any help is much appreciated. Best, Felix
