Hi all,
Sue, you ask good questions. I think the kind of dashes that are in
this particular exerpt are those m-dashes, the double-dashes that
indicate pauses in sentences. You can get some screen readers to stop
saying the single dash, but I'm not sure about the double-dash, as this
is a more unusual punctuation mark. You could set your speech program
for no punctuation, which might take care of it, yes. Most folks have
their screen readers set to "some punctuation" so that they can hear
math signs and unusual marks that affect the text. This is a real buggaboo.
