Hi, Dave.
Sentimental lug that I am, I still have my first computer with
Vocal-Eyes 3.0 and the Sounding Board sound card.
Sounding Board has an awesome feature that not only allows me
to set the punctuation pause length, but the interval between words. When I used
V-E, I was able to crank the voice rate waaaay up without words smearing
together.
Flor
Lynch has given me the idea of experimenting with different punctuation
marks and possibly adding spaces in the dictionary entries. Meanwhile, Vocalizer
Expressive's Nathan and Zowie at least pause on punctuation. Looks like they
break hard for links and hallucinations as well, though. I'm a big fan of
Eloquence, so I'll not give it up without trying anything and
everything.
Best,
Lou

In JAWS for DOS, there was a feature, where you
could set a parameter for comma, period/full stop, Exclamation mark,
etc. By increasing or decreasing the parameter for each punctuation symbol
you could vary the pause length for each symbol, thus giving you better
structure to the text you were reading.
I have often asked why this feature has never
been included in JAWS for Windows.
