Hi Anna, Okay, try these steps: 1. Press Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Settings Center, & press, Control, shift, + D, to open default all > applications. 2. Arrow down to, Punctuation closed & press right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Punctuation Level, & press the spacebar until you hear change to Most or All. You'll have to experiment with both options to see which option gives you what you want to hear. 4. After you choose either the, Most or All, option tab to, Apply, press the spacebar, tab to, Okay, press enter to save & close. 5. If 1 of the, Most or All, options gives you too much or too little symbols / punctuation reporting follow the steps above & try different punctuation level settings.
Take care.
