Is there a way to prevent the spoken content reader from saying all the symbols (I.e if there are bullet points it reads every one before the sentence). It doesn’t do this on the desktop only iphone

Accessibility spoken content speak screen not pronouncing words right iOS 16.6 - In listening to Kindle books on my iPhone and iPad, Apple’s speak screen mispronounces words like “much” and ignores periods and other punctuation. Even when I create entry with correction, the word is still misspoken. How do I fix this? I’ve used speak screen for years without this issue.

"Speak selection" stops speaking midway through on iphone 13 speak screen will read a Word doc just fine and then all of a sudden, at random it'll stop and return to the top of the page and start re reading what it had just read. Really annoying - and its impossible to highlight the remaining unread words and ask it to speak those words so you are forced to listen to the entire paragraphs that you just completed listening to. I consider this UNUSABLE. A previous complaint was put in with the same problem on a MAC and the only response from Apple was - hm, lets see if its just your device - even after others had indicated they also had a problem with it. Apple hasn't solved this - and one person said they were relying on it for visual assistance. Seems we will have to look elsewhere as Apple really isn't interested in providing something that works here.
