That can be changed, though you should do so carefully.

Look under "Program Files\Kurzweil Educational Systems\Common Files". You'll find a file called LetterSpeak.txt. Make a copy of that file, and then open the original with a text editor like notepad. Each line in that file consists of a character, then a colon, and then a word or phrase. The character is the original value in the editor that will be spoken or spelled. The colon is a separator. The word or phrase is what you would like K1000 to say when it is asked to speak the name of that letter.

You'll find a line that looks like the following:

":quotation mark

Change it to:

":quotes

Then save the change.

Do the same with a file called LetterName.txt, which is in the same folder.

Rerun Kurzweil 1000, and you should find that it pronounces quotation marks differently.

I thought I'd try validating the book I scanned in K1000.  I turned on all
punctuation, so I could fix that, too, since I also want to read my book.
What I want to know is, can I change the way K1000 says punctuation?  For
instance, I want it to say quotes, instead of quotation mark.
I've hunted through the menus, but haven't found any way to change what I
want it to say.
