Re: [orca-list] Orca fails to emphasize punctuation marks



Hi Andy.

Orca doesn't do anything special with text such as you describe. It
takes it and gives it directly to speech-dispatcher. As an experiment,
try the following in a terminal without Orca running:

spd-say "This is a test. Orca does see the period here!"
spd-say "This is a test. orca doesn't see the period here!"

When I do this, I get the lack of pause you describe. If you do as well,
the appropriate place to address it would be in speech-dispatcher or the
synthesizer (e.g. espeak).

Hi,


After testing, I have determined that Orca doesn't always emphasize
periods.


1. Orca fails to see periods if the next sentence doesn't start with a
capitol letter.

This is a test. orca doesn't see the period here!

This is a test. Orca does see the period here!


2. the item does'nt have a pause after the item number.

3. The item does have a pause after the item number.


Actual results: Orca fails to pause for a period if the next character
is a lowercase letter.

Expected results: Orca emphasizes the pause after a period no matter the
following character.
