Hi,

I can most certainly say this is something I haven't tested! Speech
is=20=20
a pretty dumb app, it just takes text in and sends that text to the=20=20
tts engine un-modified. It may be the tts engine requires some sort
of=20=20
text encoding for the accented characters.  Which one are you using?
http://mi4.biz/modules.php?name=3DContent&pa=3Dshowpage&pid=3D17
  details =
=20
the commands it accepts most should be self explanatory but one that=20=20
is a little different is filename=3D .  this causes the tts to output a =
=20
wav file rather than come out of the soundcard, useful to pipe the=20=20
sound through another application.
