Hello, I'm Graham87. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Screen reader have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Graham87 14:00, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, which is how much information is read from a window/control, not how punctuation is read. Graham87 14:00, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Graham. Did you read the article ? It is an update of the article from Deque entitled "Why Don’t Screen Readers Always Read What’s on the Screen? Part 1: Punctuation and Typographic Symbols." You find a huge table of special characters, including ? ! ... , ; etc, and how they are being read by screen readers today in 2023. Because the support changed quite a lot since the last research back on 2014 by Deque. So the research is particularly fitting the page of Wikipedia about screen readers as a whole, and particularly the Verbosity settings, which is the one that defines how detailed the special characters will be read. It would be a pity to not make the readers aware that the support differs from one screen reader to another and that it also changes with time. Thank you for reconsidering your decision. 2A02:A03F:6BBD:7900:A8E1:BA7C:B9D8:4E62 (talk) 14:11, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I did. The term verbosity settings (as it relates to all screen readers) is much more narrow than you think ... it's about how much information is read about a control, *not* punctuation (I know VoiceOver is an exception). Wikipedia is not a place to promote research, particularly if you have a conflict of interest regarding the site you're trying to promote. Graham87 14:32, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
