screen readers and punctuation

Hello all,

I just read this piece from Deque on how screen readers address
punctuation: Why Don’t Screen Readers Always Read What’s on the Screen?
Part 1: Punctuation and Typographic Symbols
<https://www.deque.com/blog/dont-screen-readers-read-whats-screen-part-1-punctuation-typographic-symbols/>
..

Since it was written in 2014, I am wondering if screen reader technology
has since been updated to better read out important symbols.

Thanks!
