Yes, I think you are right.  Speech dispatcher allows setting how
punctuation is announced through SSIP.  The three supported modes are
`none' (no indication), `spell' (what espeak does now) and `icon'
(playing) a sound before capital letter).  In case of Orca, which
changes the pitch, it would make sense to switch to `none'.  I'm not
sure whether the espeak output module supports it (I believe it should),
but if it does, the only needed change is to switch the mode in the Orca
SD backend.  If you can, please, create a bug report against Orca
requesting that and add me to the CC of the bug, I will send a patch.

Or if someone else wants to do it, it's as simple as adding a line:

        client.set_cap_let_recogn('none')

to the end of the method `speechdispatcherfactory.SpeechServer._init()'.
