I haven't checked to see how the label is written.  So how it is spoken may be determined by what punctuation setting is being used.  I simply think it should be written in such a way that it always reads the same such as punctuation followed by the word and and then the word symbol.  or if this is considered too nonstandard in this age where signs such as slash and the and sign must be used, then internal coding  should be used to cause it to read clearly, whatever someone with vision sees.  I use no punctuation and to be correct, I should hear something like punctuation and symbol or punctuation slash symbol.  From a speech standpoint, I consider punctuation slash symbol to be significantly inferior and unnatural sounding.  .

  Hi  Gene 
 
  I am not sure I know what you mean.  Are you talking about grammatically correct labeling for controls in nvda or my dropping the slash from the name of the control?  reminds me of calling google chrome chrome. 
  Two controls makes more sense to me. 
  One control for controlling punctuation 
  and 
  a second control for controlling symbols 
  instead of one combined punctuation and symbol control.

Then it should say punctuation and symbol if that is the intended meaning.

  Hi  Gene 
 
  Punctuation symbol level is o k for now, for example: 
  the pound sign is not punctuation and same for the slash and back-slash. 
  may be two separate control settings like: 
  Punctuation level
  and 
  symbol level 
  might be easier to understand for some.

Ppunctuation should be set to all in the following manner:

Issue the command NVDA key control v if using the desktop layout.

Tab arount the voice settings dialog that opens and set punctuation symbol level to all.  I think this setting should be called simply punctuation level in the program.  Of course punctuation is symbols.  It's redundant to use the word symbol and it may be annoying or confusing to some users.  There is no need to change any other settings.

Then tab to and activate the ok button.

When you want to return to the punctuation level you were using before, issue the command NVDA key control r to restore the previous configuration.

   No problem, glad I could help!
   Are you using nvda number pad cursor to read with
   or
   are you using the normal arrow keys to read?

   Try setting in nvda
   Preferences
   Voice settings...
   Punctuation/symbol level: all
   When Punctuation symbol level is set to all the arrow keys should
announce all arrow key presses.
   If not there might be a problem in the nvda installation.
I have mine set to some.
   The nvda reading cursor reading character by character reads all.
   I am not sure if I miss being able to set Punctuation symbol level
for different cursors like in jaws.
