Created attachment 286101 [details] Debug file Dear Joanie, This day Orca version I see an interesting thing if I using normal up or down arrow key navigation. If a sentence ends up with an ! punctuation character, Orca spokening the sentence with normal end of dot sentence, this is resulting a false intonation. The problem is following: If a sentence containing the ! character, Orca sends following speech string in Gecko apps: SPEECH OUTPUT: 'Üdvözöljük a BeLin 3.02 kiadás dokumentációs oldalán!.' Yes, unfortunately Orca put a dot character after the exclamation punctuation character in speech string. Testcase: 1. Launch Firefox, and open a website. 2. Search a line with containing an exclamation mark end of sentence. 3. Listen the sentence, or look the generated speech string. Expected result with speech string related: Orca don't need put a dot character with end of speech string if the line ends up an exclamation mark. Actual result: described, Orca put a dot character after exclamation mark punctuation character if not have other line content with need spokening. My environment related informations: OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Firefox version: 32.0 Orca version: latest this day morning updated master branch version. Affected Orca branches: master, gnome-3-14 Attila
An another testcase: 1. Launch Thunderbird. 2. Press CTRL+N keystroke, and goto message body field. 3. Type few lines with containing one exclamation mark end of sentence, for example Hi Joanie! sentence. 4. Use up or down arrow keys to navigate between lines. This situation Orca adds a dot character after speech string the speech output. If I using for example SHIFT+END keystroke, the intonation is right, speech string doesn't containing dot character after the sentence. Attila
Should be fixed in master and the gnome-3-14 branch now.
Hi Joanie, The fix works great. Attila
