Re: [orca-list] Punctuation Oddity With Period

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Ron:

The choice of "full stop" is most likely the TTS engine.  You can 
override this in Orca, but it's currently not a trivial thing to do 
(i.e., we don't give you a WIMP/GUI interface to do it).

If you search for "How do I define my own punctuation or character 
pronunciations?" on the Orca frequently asked questions page, however, 
you should be able to find the answer:

Hope this helps,

Will
