I'm not sure it can be done through the pronunciation page. This behavior used to be controlled through an orca scrypt file.
Check if you have a file ~/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py if it doesn't exist you can creat it. There used to be some information on the orca wiki about the orca-customization.py file. You'd probably want to try something like the following: try: import orca.speech # contains speech routines for orca. except ImportError: print "sorry, speech could not be loaded." try: import orca.braille # contains orca routines for braille. except ImportError: print "sorry, braille could not be loaded." # attempt to add customized speach. try: import orca.chnames # contains the structure linking symbols to their names. except ImportError: print "sorry, chnames could not be loaded." else: try: # redefine ! to "bang." orca.chnames.chnames['!'] = "bang" except: message = "sorry. could not set custom speach for the bang symbol (!)." try: orca.speech.speak(message) orca.braille.displayMessage(message) except: print message try: # define # as "hash." orca.chnames.chnames['#'] = "hash" except: message = "sorry. could not set custom speach for the hash symbol (#)." try: orca.speech.speak(message) orca.braille.displayMessage(message) except: print message I coppied the relevent sections from my own orca-customizations.py file and swapped in a couple of the examples you wanted. If you get syntax errors, double check the chnames.py file (I can't remember the exact path right now; if you can't find it on your own, post back and I, or someone else can take a gander for the path.). If chnames doesn't work, I'm not sure what the new procedure is, but I'd be interested. Hope this helps:-) >Message: 3 >Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:45:00 +0100 >From: "C. M.
