Hi Luke,

No, please do not read punctuation out loud when recording a prompt (our acoustic model training scripts assume that punctuation is not read) .

Only use punctuation to determine where you might leave a pause when reading a prompt.  We want the speech collected to be as natural as possible.

Thanks,

Ken
