Re: [orca-list] Bullets and Numbering in OOo Writer

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I've not tried the patch yet but I will look at it as it sounds useful.

Now I guess you could do a bit of tracking down on the speaking period 
twice by enabling logging in speech-dispatcher. Might it be that 
somewhere to force the TTS to say the punctuation SD or opentts sends 
the phrase "period." (a wild guess but the thought being that it may 
expect the TTS not to speak the actual . character but to give the end 
of sentence pause).
