Judith, thanks much for writing. Perhaps you could drop me a note off list to 
tell me what you write. Having retired as a university professor, I now devote 
many of my hours to writing fiction.

Regards,

JN

  Jerry, Being a writer I need all punctuation announced.  I know that when 
speaking a quote jaws changes pitch.  Sorry I couldn't help you.  JB

    Hi Judith,

    In principle, setting all voices to speak all punctuation should not be 
necessary since, aside from quotation marks, in say all mode, all commas, 
periods etc. would be spoken, not what wants necessarily. In Jaws 7, setting 
this parameter to all rather than some is not necessary. All one need do is 
tell the speech manager that quotations should be spoken in another voice. 
Works well, but not in subsequent versions and builds. What I wanted to know 
was whether or not the very most recent build, just released, had corrected 
that broken feature.

    Thanks.

    Jerry

      Do you have your voices set to announce all punctuation?  If yes, the 
voice should change pitch in quotations.  Judith

        As of Jaws 8, I have been unable to invoke the quotation voice, even 
though it has been correctly designated in voice aliases. Does anyone know if 
the problem still persists in the very latest build of Jaws 9?

        Thank you.

        Jerry
