spokenPunctuation parameter enables users to control when punctuation is inserted in the document output instead of transcribed text.
Set the
spokenPunctuation parameter to true in order for the punctuation symbols to be returned when verbalized.Note that some punctuation may be supported by more than one utterance. For example, either “open parentheses” and “open paren” can be spoken to return (. There are also some terms (e.g., “colon”) that will be disambiguated by the language model to determine if the symbol or the word should be inserted based on the context.Spoken punctuation support
