Hello,


To adjust what punctuation is spoken with Spoken Content features, follow these steps:


Open Settings> Accessibility> VoiceOver> Verbosity> Punctuation. You can change it from All to Some or None, or create a new group with your own custom settings to tell it which punctuations it should speak and how to call them. This should apply to Speak Screen.


Sincerely,


Captain
