You can create a custom punctuation dictionary using the character
dictionary.
While within the Window-Eyes control panel open the Help menu with Alt-H
and make sure Advanced settings is checked.
This gives you the ability to set punctuation to program or global scope
and gives you access to the dictionaries node.
As a practical example, here's what I do. I set screen punctuation to
Dictionary only and keyboard punctuation to On because I want to hear
what I type but not most punctuation when I'm reading. These are global
settings.
Next I add what I want to hear when reading to the default Char.chr
character dictionary. How to do this can be found in the manual under
Window-Eyes features, Pronunciation dictionaries, and, The Window-Eyes
control panel, Window-Eyes user interface.
Char.chr is the default character dictionary and with punctuation set to
global and dictionary only it will apply to all programs. If you want
more punctuation pronounced in some programs you can create a program
specific character dictionary.
The same holds true for exception, key label, graphic, and color
dictionaries.

Go to the WE Control Panel. Screen is the first option. Right arrow on
Screen to expand it and then arrow down to punctuation. Tab to through
the four options at left and make the changes you want. You’ll have to
play with which ones turn on what you want, but I think the Textual will
turn on commas and period and Miscellaneous will turn on the at sign..
You’ll find that they also turn on other symbols you probably didn’t
want narrated, so you’ll have to decide the tradeoff. I’d love to see a
custom punctuation menu where you can select which ones you want to hear
and forget the rest.

*Subject:* Turning on punctuation
Hello,
Can someone tell me how to turn on punctuation, such as
periods and other things such as the at sign in e mail addresses.
I hope I explained this alright.
Thanks,
