Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-08-04 16:32:32 UTC 
When punctuation is set to "all", Orca speaks pauses as "dot" because we insert actually periods for prosody.

Once the system voice is implemented, we can address this.

I dont think this strictly depends on the system voice.

as part of bug #591709 i needed some bugs to be fixed with opentts/sd, and.therefore could not preceed with the fix.
It relied on using the SSML mode which was not available to us from the python bindings.
There is another small bug that Trev will fix for us before we can use the SSML mode safely.
Comment 2 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-08-06 22:05:11 UTC 
Periods that are part of the displayed text should, of course, continue to be spoken.
Comment 3 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-08-06 22:07:31 UTC 
Apologies for the spam. Hit Commit before I was finished. Anyhoo... Will Trev's fix also address this issue for gnome-speech, where the problem is also present?
Comment 4 Mesar Hameed 2010-08-06 22:16:19 UTC 
Yes indeed, only periods inserted for extra pauses will be replaced.
I dont believe gnomespeech supports SSML, so the issue will probably remain there.
