Actually, most synthesizers and screen reading software have the ability to let you choose how much punctuation is spoken. I have different configurations in different programs. When I'm in wordperfect, for instance, I like to have more things spoken than when I'm reading a bulletin board. Of course, you can miss things if you reduce the amount of punctuation, especially things like those smiley faces some people like to make. But you can always go into screen review and have things spelled out if you need to. Now, is that more than you ever wanted to know about speech synthesizers?
