Use VoiceOver to hear punctuation on Mac
Change the level of punctuation that VoiceOver reads.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier that you press with additional keys to enter VoiceOver commands. By default, you can press Control and Option together or just press Caps Lock.
To open the Verbosity rotor, press VO-V.
Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key until you hear “punctuation” and the current setting.
Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key until you hear the setting you want to use, such as All or None, or a custom punctuation group you created, then press the Space bar to select it.
To close the rotor, press the Escape key or Fn-Tab.
You can also set punctuation options in the Text pane of the Verbosity category in VoiceOver Utility. To open VoiceOver Utility, press VO-Fn-F8 when VoiceOver is on.
If you’re using portable preferences on a guest computer when you change punctuation settings, the settings are saved to the portable preferences drive and not to the guest computer.
