What do you mean by the English dictionary? Whatever you were referring
to, my suggestion of changing the NVDA dictionary for one specific word
followed by an explanation point will probably work if your intent is to
change just the way one thing is spoken when it is followed by an
explanation point. But it isn't clear to me from your below message
whether you want to change anything or whether you were making a joke.

My suggestion to changed the dictionary referred to the English
dictionary,
not the NVDA dictionary, and I wasn't serious factoriall.

The text is highlighted. When text is highlighted, typing even one
character completely removes the highlighted text and what you type is

all

that is there. In a lot of dialogs text is highlighted and all you have
to do is type. If you move, you will remove the highlighting and if you
type, you will add text to what is already there.

I don't know if the person moved and left text in this field. But

perhaps

it says factorial and then there is an explanation point as part of the
text. In that case, use the pronunciation dictionary. Write the word
exactly as it appears and if there is an explanation point after it,

type

that as well.
then write what you want spoken in the spoken as field. That may solve
the problem.

Did you clear the text in the replacement field completely before typing
in factorial? If not, then what was there before would just be joined
to what you type in so it would say 2 things instead of one.

now "wow" says wow factorial.
I like it factorial.

I found only one other instance of exclamation point and apostrophe

and

they both said all. After I changed those, now it is working. There
aren't 4 of anything that needs changing but just 2. At least it's

doing

what I want it to now!

I don't know why that is. If you are doing things correctly, then
there appears to be a problem with your NVDA extension or perhaps

with

Windows that is keeping the change from being implemented. I don't

know

if the installed version keeps the changes in the program or in the
registry.

But some things should be clarified to save people unnecessary work.
First, at least when I tested with an old version of NVDA, you don't

have

to save the configuration. These settings are independent of the
configuration. So be sure you want to change what you are changing.
Unlike other changes in NVDA, once you make a change here, it
remains, even if you apply the saved configuration before you save

the

current one.

Also, sentence ending means what is says. If you just change
sentence ending, it will just change sentence ending. You don't have

to

change the sentence ending setting if you want to change how the

symbol

is

spoken everywhere. You can just change the setting for the symbol

that

has no description of what the setting affects. For example, there

is

an

explanation point setting that doesn't say sentence end or anything

else.

Changing what is spoken for that item will change how it is spoken
everywhere.

That's just what I did for the exclamation point and the apostrophe.
Both of them are still saying bang and tick. The replacement field
has
my changes saved, but they just don't take effect.

The Punctuation/Symbol pronunciation' dialog is perfectly adequate

for this task, no add-on is required. Open the dialog, arrow down to

the

symbol you want to change and press alt+r, type in the replacement

word,

tab to OK and press enter. Repeat for all items you wish to change,

then

Press NVDA+Control+c to save your configuration

I would appreciate an add-on for this, I don't like those names

some of the punctuation either.

You have to change all of them.
1. ! sentence ending
2. !
3. in-word '
4. '
