You can remove those soft hyphens with an entry in your speech dictionary. Patern (without quotes): “” and replacement empty.

I have no idea why someone would not use the far more typical flowing of whole words across lines. Having the word "future" broken up as "fu" hyphen line break "ture" is but one example where I would expect problems. And there are a lot of examples of this sort of hyphenation, and I've not seen it used since the age of the word processor began. It was at least somewhat common when typewriters were the primary writing method, but not since. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

Pranav,
Thanks very much for including the URL of the page where you're experiencing the issue. For some reason it split across two lines so I'm sending it out again so that anyone who wants to check it out can just click through: https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2020/10/millimetre-precision-drug-delivery-to-the-brain.html -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

Hi all,
I am on NVDA beta 4. Please see the article at the below link. Millimetre-precision drug delivery to the brain https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2020/10/millimetre-precision-drug-delivery-to-the-brain.html Why is espeak sounding strange? It seems to be overemphasizing some letter sounds. Is it because of the soft hyphens? Pranav
