Mostly, I was just doing reading punc because when I tested, I was using the read line command to speak the line so I am attributing that to read_punc. I could change them both next time I test this but I think I would experience the same issues. I wonder if there is anything at all in Speakup that can alter this. I might have to tinker with a dictionary in espeak or something.
