Maybe those were suppose to be single quotes, but my screen reader calls
them apostrophes; just like the symbol joining a contraction.

Hi, All,
Shannon wrote to me offline and suggested that I write
some sentences here to see how those of you with
Braille, or Voice, or screen readers, or whatever you
use read them. She told me about the Autoformat; I
checked and I have had it checked for replacing
straight quotes with smart quotes, (I never knew what
that was for ), so maybe Word is automatically putting
single quotes and apostrophes where they belong.
Anyway, here are a couple of sentences from a
document I'm validating now, that has both in them.
Perhaps you could tell me either here or directly if
you can read them as they are supposed to be.
