Dear Terry,
Thanks for your comments. I guess there's no help for me, then. But of course, I can read the signs in braille; or translate them out of a document before listening to it.
Thanks so much.

Hi,

I used to believe these dot 5 signs were a part of UK braille, but I found
out from someone on the Duxusers list that they aren't in the UK system.
All of these dot 5 signs are in the grade 3 braille code.

In order to get the BN to pronounce these dot 5 signs correctly, the
pronunciation dictionary would need to be changed to allow punctuation.  If
you wanted to use grade 3 braille as the default translation instead of
grade 2, a table would have to be created for that code.

Presently, neither the full version of Duxbury nor the limited version in
the BN supports grade 3 braille.

You can turn off speech and read the symbols in braille.
