I've been having trouble spelling out phonemes while using the Amiga's built-in speech synthesizer – I can't get it to recognize numeric characters as stress marks. When, for example, I type the number 4 after a vowel or dipthong, the computer repeats the number itself, rather than accepting it as a phonetic indicator. What am I doing wrong? I'm accessing the SAY utility via the Workbench, not through BASIC, if that matters.
