Please be more specific. If you use the left and right arrow keys, NVDA will move through the line character by character and report each character, including punctuation. If you set the punctuation/symbol level to all (e.g. by pressing NVDA+p), NVDA will report all punctuation wherever it occurs. As I understand it, both of these satisfy your request.

I was going to file a similar bug, but I think the idea is same as here, so I'm clarifying this one instead.

I have a friend who uses NVDA, and what she wants is for the SPACE replacement symbol not to be spoken during input, but to remain spoken in certain other cases. Right now, "Character" being the topmost speech level, this is impossible: she either has not to use replacement for the space character at all (so that it is not spoken when entered), or, if she wants that character spoken during text review for example, she automatically has to "endure" it being spoken during input.

Having a separate checkbox to enable/disable speaking each symbol during input, instead of always speaking the replacement, would give users more power to decide what they want to hear under what circumstances.

The request is not very clear here. So my understanding is that people want to have a checkbox for each symbol and punctuation sign in the symbols and punctuation dialog which allows to decide whether the symbol is spoken when typing or not.

cc: @CyrilleB79 just to get a confirmation that my understanding is correct here.

Note: implementing such a feature would mean to overwrite the current states of punctuation levels defined in NVDA, so there should be definitely also a way to restore back the standard settings.

@vgjh2005 do you still need this feature?

If yes, could you give a more detailed description:

• Is this request due to a problem? If yes, which one?
• Could you describe the new feature and explain it with an example?

Thanks.
