Speaking of dinging, is there any way to stop Window-Eyes from triggering the little default Ding-sound whenever you're trying to delete text from an already empty edit box? I am a braille-only user, so I want my screenreader to make as little noise as possible, so to speak.

This also happens to Comma's as well. I have even noticed this action where I'll be sitting on a letter, to delete, and the letter after that is the one deleted. This makes editing text a real pain. I don't know why this occurs, however I'm wondering if it is a matter of Window-Eyes loosing focus. I've been going to write about this issue for a long time, however, I figured folks would think I was crazy and didn't know what I was talking about, however, since you brought it up, I know I'm not crazy. <grin> And, no one else is crazy, either. <smile> Maybe this has been brought up before, and I've missed it, not sure. Another thing I want to bring up, that I think has been brought up before is this. Many times, when I do a control-left arrow, or control-right arrow to go word by word through a line, and all it does is ding. I've even noticed this when arrowing through words, to check my spelling or typo-s to correct my mistakes. This is very annoying. One thing I want to say is, just because all this happens, Davey, don't let this stop you from using the loving Window-Eyes screen reader. It's excellent. Nothing in this world is perfect. <smile> At 01:03 PM 9/11/2010, you wrote: Hello! I am in the middle of switching to Window-Eyes as my main screenreader, which is also why I subscribed to some of the GW Micro mailing lists. There is one quite strange thing, however, that is holding me back, and a quick search through this list's archives didn't result in a solution. That's why I thought I'd bring it up. The problem is that when I am typing some text at a decent speed, a sentence like "That's nice." comes out as "That's'nice." So something is putting in an extra apostrophe. I thought that Window-Eyes couldn't be responsible for that, but when I shut it down I don't get this extra apostrophe. This strange behavior obviously makes using Window-Eyes a bit of a pain, so I was hoping there would be something I am forgetting about that would correct this issue. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated! Cheers! Davy If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
