Hi yuma,
I love that tag at the end of your message BTW...bubble bath indeed.
I simply wanted to point out that you are in the majority not being a
braille user.
Even a basic google of braille brings up figures indicating less than 15%
even less than 10% in some cases of those experiencing sight loss of SOME
kind use braille. there are far more options for getting information
that people can choose from these days.
much success finding the solution fitting your unique experiences and needs.

Hi All,
Thanks for the suggestions. However:
1-being relatively recently blind, i haven't had much time learning braille as
my disability is related to trauma and only went for fundamentals, and i'm too
slow for anything on that front.
2-i tried dictionary suggestion but voice over assumes the same rules when
reading by blocks of text.
3-Because of how the text is formatted in the textbook pdfs, it would be a
tremendous ammount of superfluous work to ask disability staff at uni to modify
everything for me.
The solution would just be an option in the voice over
utility/speech/pronounciations where each added custom pronounciation has it's
verbosity setting. Say you want semi-colons to be spoken but not colons, or
brackets versus perenthesis or square brackets when they surround normal
brackets, etc etc. The difference between all or most is insignificant, and
there should be a more granular approach for specialized text such as for
engineering or special litterature.
I have sent a detailed description through the developer site and hope someone
might look into it

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. It's not a perfect solution, but
it's the one I use in these situations. Sometimes I find I need to put a space
before or after the symbol when I'm writing the text in the pronunciation
editor. Without that, I find VoiceOver still just ignores the punctuation mark.
