Mmm, maybe not so simple. Does one really want to hear shell things with a german voice even if one is using a german non-contracted braille table (for efficiency)? In such a case the user may want to have BRLTTY automatically use english when using a non-contracted german table, but switch to german when using the contracted german table. More generally, I'd tend to let the user define speech/braille preference profiles, like "I'm working with a shell, so speak english and output non-contracted german braille", "I'm reading german, so speak german and output contracted german braille", "I'm reading arabic (for which I don't have a speech synthesis), so speak german output non-contracted arabic braille (which I'm currently learning)". Of course, take that with much salt, as I'm a user neither of speech nor braille :) Samuel _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
