Re: Delete PDF tag vs. artifact?

I am a screen reader user so this is my opinion based on my experience
dealing with PDF documents.

Punctuation is important and in most cases speech synthesizers will
adjust their behaviour depending on the punctuation provided.
A slight pause or change of pitch can occur based on the punctuation
provided. If no punctuation is used, then the text may be run together
with the text contained in other elements of the document.

Also...when writing alt-text is it preferable to include or exclude the
period (stop) at the end of the sentence?

Thanks!
