From http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/speakup/2021-January/062508.html

“
I recall a Vocal Eyes feature I used very often. When I hit the speak word key once, it would
speak the word, hit it twice it would spell the word, hit it thrice
it would spell the word with military alphabet pronunciation (alpha, bravo, charlie, etc).

Speakup only allows me military letter pronunciation when I hit the
speak letter key twice, and only speaks the letter where the cursor
rests. This makes it a kluge to hear the entire word spelled in military pronunciation.

A feature to tap the speak word key thrice to get military spelling
would be a great boon to those of us who are deaf as well as blind.

Hi,
I'd like to contribute to Speakup and help solve this issue. I'd ask a few questions to understand the issue.

Speakup only allows me military letter pronunciation when I hit the
speak letter key twice

According to docs here1, speak letter key is the insert button. In the same docs, key combination for military letter pronunciation is spk_key + 5.

and only speaks the letter where the cursor rests

I have tested spk_key + 5 on speakup_soft(and espeakup) and it pronounces the whole word in military letters no matter where the cursor is.

A feature to tap the speak word key thrice to get military spelling would be a great boon to those of us who are deaf as well as blind.

How would this feature different from current military spelling speakup has with spk_key + 5?

I like the way Jaws in windows will speak letter's phonetically if paused
on the character while arrowing through a word.

I'll be working on it, but I think this issue is similar to #6.

This patch includes an enhancement requested frequently on the mailing
list.[1][2] It adds a variable, cur_phonetic in the spk_vars, which can
be set as a module parameter, as well as in /sys/speakup/cur_phonetic.
This patch also documents cur_phonetic as a sysfs attribute in
sysfs-driver-speakup.

When cur_phonetic=1, it causes speakup to speak letters phonetically if
paused on the character while arrowing through a word.

When a user does not set cur_phonetic to any value, the default value
for it would be 0.
