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).
