I think this is the correct behavior. Otherwise punctuation=none would
be quite useless. Punctuation none however allows the synthesizer to read
for example (dolar-sign)12 as "twelve dolars" instead of "dolar twelve"
etc. It is up to the synthesizer to decide how to handle it.

Could someone please explain what is the problem here?

I believe this is supported in espeak API. TTS API, which espeak API
conforms to, however treats this in a little bit different way. One
should ask for a female voice with variant=2. The set of symbolic voice
identifier strings in SSIP is limited, so it should not be difficult to
setup a mapping to the second more general communication code.

We do not have a command for this in SSIP yet, not a problem of the output
module.
Thanks Lukas for the output module, Jonathan for eSpeak and everyone
for their excelent cooperation!
