The punctuation that JAWS will vocalize depends upon verbosity settings for punctuation. The options are none, some, most and all. The hyphen is spoken at the "most" and "all" levels by default. Users can customize vocalization for each symbol as well, the default for a hyphen is "dash" but a user can configure JAWS to say "hyphen" or anything else that they would like.
