Hi Jim,
I've unsuccessfully searched the forum regarding this problem, but apologize if it's already been covered.
Is it possible to have quote and end quote pronounced? I've only been able to get double quotes said.
Thanks.
Quotation Marks: "quote," "end quote"

Best way I can think of to handle this is with pronunciation dictionary entries. From the TextAloud menu, click Tools -> Text Processing -> Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance. We might have to tweak this later, but for now start by adding two dictionary entries, one for begin quote and another for end quote.
For both entries, set the Text Matching dropdown to "Regular Expression", and Pronounce Using to "Respell".
1. Begin Quote
Regular Expression:
(\s)"(\S)
Pronounce Using:
$1begin quote $2
2. End Quote
Regular Expression:
(\S)"(\s)
Pronounce Using:
$1 end quote$2
Does that work?
