Page 46How the System Interprets Text/E-Mail
1. The system ignores a period(.) at the end of a sentence or when a space follows the period. The system
says “period” if text follows the period. For example, U.S.A. is pronounced “U period S period A.”
Fractions
and
Decimals
The system recognizes a slash (/) with a number before and after
it as a fraction. For example, for
1/3
, the system says “one third.”
The system also recognizes decimal points. For example, for
2.50, the system says “two point five zero.”
Punctuation
1
The system ignores most punctuation, including the following:
■ Comma (,)
■ Exclamation point (!)
■ Parentheses ()
■ Dash (–), except with numbers before and after it
■ Colon and semicolon
■ Brackets, both square [ ] and curly { }
■ Question mark (?)
■ Slash (/) and backslash (\)
■ Double quotes (“)
■ Smily face — colon and right parenthesis ( :) )
■ Apostrophe (‘). NOTE: The system pronounces contractions
correctly.
