Hi, yes this program did read your "lol" as just that almost like a name lola but missing the "a" sound. Earlier email I typed IMO so it read it as I-M-O and my brain interpreted it as "in my opinion". It will read abbreviations as lets to me then I figure out their meaning.
The biggest issue is the spell checker if I am typing and mean to type "this" and it forgets the "t" then it reads it as "his" which is a word in the dictionary so at times it can make me sound like I cannot speak English lol I had a gentlemen yesterday tell me to get lost cause they wanted English speakers on their group and unfortunately I had to inform the close minded nit of my situation and the issues I am learning to deal with on this program. So truly my apologies to any of you this frustrates all I can say is hit delete:) If you all want to learn more about this program its called Jaws and can be found at http://www.freedomescientific.com and if you have questions I will answer them as best as I can. All pc's come with a accessibility feature and voice synthesizer under accessories its similar to the JAWS program just not as advanced. Thanks for the welcome.

LOL. Welcome, Buggy. By the way, how did your software translate the word before I said, "Welcome, Buggy?" I spelled out the letters L, O, and L, which is a well-known Internet acronym for Laughing Out Loud. I really would be interested in learning how your software "reads" it, and tries to pronounce it aloud. Heck, I'd be interested in hearing more about the software, period. [ Note to Rick: It might be nice to repost the monthly FAQ about common FFL acronyms, so that Bug could let us know which ones are pronounced in an understandable way and which are not. ] What I am laughing out loud about, Bug, is Edg's description of Fairfield Life. Ne pretty much nails it. This forum really is a strange and interesting amalgam of yapping highwayman saints, a kind of cyberspace Mos Eisley Cantina. Welcome. Pull up a stool and tell us a little about yourself, and what drew you here. Oh...one more thing. Let the Wookie win. :-) [ Smiley face above, to indicate attempted humor. How did the software pronounce that? Did it laugh? ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
