Don't we actually have a better path for controlling all these via the Insert+[some-key] feature in Speakup? And, come to think of it, that feature needs a name. Does it have one and I just forgot? It's quite the nice help facility, and I use it all the time to adjust a few things like pitch and speed. But, I also see there are a lot more control functions than I know there. For example, I'm just beginning to explore the Insert+{function-key} features, as in Insert+F5, just to come back to the punctuation thing.
