I propose adding a "spokenPunctuation" attribute to the SpeechRecognition interface. This Boolean attribute would control whether the speech recognition engine should support spoken punctuation (i.e., transcribe spoken words like "period" or "comma" as their punctuation symbols).

Rationale:

Customization for Different Use Cases: Different speech recognition applications have varying requirements for spoken punctuation. Dictation and voice typing applications often benefit from enabling spoken punctuation for efficiency and accuracy, while captioning applications may prefer to transcribe speech verbatim, including spoken punctuation.
Enhanced User Experience: Providing this option allows developers to tailor the speech recognition behavior to the specific needs of their applications, improving the user experience.

Implementation Details:

Default Value: The default value of spokenPunctuation would be false to maintain compatibility with existing applications that may not expect this behavior.
