Using punctuation
To improve the logical flow of spoken text, you may need to add extra
punctuation to create pauses. Without extra punctuation, screen readers
may read several text objects as one continuous sentence, making the
content difficult to understand. For example, information in data tables may
be read without stop. To prevent this, you can break up information in data
tables by inserting periods between fields.
Certain punctuation marks are read aloud, which may be distracting if used
too frequently. For example, when a screen reader reads a colon ":", it may
read it aloud as "colon" instead of a pause. You can change the amount of
spoken punctuation in your screen reader's settings.
To troubleshoot your report's punctuation, it is good practice to read the
report using a screen reader. Do objects run together too quickly? Or are
there too many pauses? Are any punctuation marks read aloud? Does this
improve or deter from the usability of the report?
