Re: [orca-list] Orca speaks extra dot character

Hi Jeremy.

Orca does currently use a period to cause a pause to be inserted. 
Changing that is something I plan to do in my copious spare time (tm). :)

That said, speech synthesizers should respect your punctuation. At the 
punctuation level of "some" the final period should not be spoken.

As an experiment I did the following, without Orca running, in a terminal:

spd-say -m some "autogen.sh."
spd-say -m all "autogen.sh."

For the first command I heard "autogen dot sh". For the second command I 
heard "autogen dot sh dot". These are the expected results in both cases.

Do you get the same results? If not, that sounds to me like it might be 
either a bug in the speech synthesizer or something which might need to 
be tweaked in speech-dispatcher.

I have vague recollections of there being some potentially related 
changes in speech-dispatcher, so hoping Samuel might have an idea.

Thanks!
