Hi,
Do you want to know when there is a dash at all or, do you object to
how it decides to name the symbol? ? I had this problem reading
poetry. I didn't want to hear Jaws tell me when there was a dash or
an end dash. I modified the punctuation settings in the configuration
manager for the software in question so that dashes and end dashes
were only spoken when punctuation was at most or all. I mostly have
it set to none when I read so, it treated them like commas and
periods.
