Hi all, I m trying to figure out a setting on voice over to allow certain punctuation symbols to be announced and others not. Ok, this seems like an impossibility, but hear me out:
there are many symbols which voice over does not read unless you go character by character, and those aren't only commas, dots or colons when attached to words. Math symbols, greek symbols and other types fall into the same category. This is no good when reading maths statistics or physics, and i'm desperately trying to figure out a solution. I've tried using voice over's text attribute modifier so as to change how voice over speaks an item. say for example the alfa symbol. normally you wouldn't hear anything, but changing the symbol to simply alfa will declare it. But only declare it if the speak all punctuation is selected in the verbosity levels. If no-one has a solution to this, i might take it to apple engineers to try to find us one as it seems all screen readers have the same issue, namely that many ansillary symbols or uncommon characters are recognized as punctuation and not actual characters, giving a hard time actually identifying them in text, or altogether breaking the flow of a passage when reading books or text books. Any help or suggestions greatly apreciated.
