Re: Punctuation

Apologies for my last e=mail. I checked the dictionary, and exclamation was in there so I have removed it.

As I described in my message, there are 2 settings that are used to determine what punctuation you hear, so when you say “I have tried setting it”, which setting are you talking about?.  Similarly, you say “I do not want exclamation spoken when reading an e-mail”.  How are you reading the email, using say-all, line by line, word by word, character by character?

 

As I said, you need to give details.

 

Another thing to check is that you do not have any Dictionary entries associated with the punctuation symbols you are complaining about.  If there are any, delete them, the Dictionary is not the correct place for them.

 

Cheers

I just do not want exclamation spoken when reading an e-mail or document. I have tried setting it to all, most, some and none but none of them seem to work. This has only started happening relatively recently.

How do you mean. Are you reading by character? If so you will not get rid of the exclaim at all as it will by default speak. You never said what you wanted to do, ever. Make this clear and we can help you otherwise we are beating a dead horse here.

Also, don’t forget you can change the level at which punctuation is spoken, specifically the exclamation and apostrophes.

 

Check out the punctuation settings in NVDA.

 

All the best

What happens if you use E-Speak?

I don't recall if these two suggestions were made.  Have you tried using a portable version?  Also, have you tried another screen-reader using the same synthesizer?
