Dragon NaturallySpeaking: Speak the punctuation while training?

Question

When performing the general training in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the user must read from passages of text such as from "2001: A Space Odyssey". When reading these passages, should the user pronounce punctuation? Should the user state "period", "comma", and "quote"?

Speaking the punctuation is the norm. IIRC, there is a mode that will insert commas and periods automatically, but it's not enabled by default in the new v12.0.

Speaking the punctuation while training is optional as you can see in the screenshot below taken during training. I personally never do it and I have no issue when dictating punctuations afterward (French and English with Dragon 10, 11, 11.5, 12 and 12.5).

That is what is normally done in training and in normal use.
