For the 1st issue where it speaks the punctuation mark, you need to turn off Number Processing in Google TTS settings. To do so:
1. Open Talkback's Local Context Menu by swiping Down followed by Right. 2. Select TTS Settings from the Local Context Menu. 3. Set Google TTS as the preferred engine (you need to change this temporarily if you prefer to use other TTS as a default TTS). 4. Tap the Settings button to the right of the Preferred Engine option. 5. Navigate to the Number Processing option and turn it off. 6. Navigate back and switch to your preferred TTS (only if you use other TTS as a default). I have done this and gotten rid of unnecessary punctuation marks. Hope it helps you too. For the 2nd issue, haven't found any such option to customize what it speaks when Power key is pressed. On my Samsung J7 Pro, it speaks the current time followed by an unrequired instruction to unlock the device.

Earlier, when pressing the power key to unlock the phone, talkback simply announced the time, without using punctuation marks. Now, it announces with a :. Similarly, when pressing the power key, it directly announced the time followed by the two sim cards such as "airtel, jio 4g" Now, on pressing the same, it first announces the two sim cards and then speaks the time. Is there any way to reverse/change this? -- Avichal Bhatnagar Assistant Professor at Department of English, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Khalsa College University of Delhi Doctoral research scholar at School of Humanities, Delhi Technological University (formerly Delhi College of Engineering) Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
