Subject: RE: how can I make WE speak a character
thanks Tom for the very detailed explanation.
I think my concern however was in setting the miscellaneous punctuation to
dictionary only, for when you do that, you
lose all the other characters you
may have heard. somehow, in this very
twisty discussion, I thought you were
recommending she switch to dictionary only? if so, that's what I had
concerns about.

It depends on how you want it to work. If you just turn miscellaneous
punctuation on the character will be voiced
using whatever name is assigned
to it in the character set, such as: one
half. But let's say you'd rather it
voice: "a half." Then you can place it in your character dictionary and
assign that name to it. There's two ways you
can place it in your character
dictionary.
Place the mouse pointer on it, or, use Shift+Left or Right Arrow to select
it and Control-C to copy it.
Now press Control-Shift-E to open the exception dictionary dialog.
Tab to the character dictionary button if
it's not in focus and press enter.
If you used the mouse the character should already be placed in the
"Original" edit box. Otherwise, use Control-V to paste it there.
Tab to the "Replacement" edit box and enter what you want voiced.
Tab down through the remaining options and set them. Then Tab to OK and
press enter.
Now open the Window-Eyes control panel and save the character dictionary.
Hth,
Tom

Yes, how did you do it?
Also, does we speak the actual symbol ½ ?

If you don't want all miscellaneous characters spoken, define the
character in your character dictionary. Then be sure to save that
dictionary. Then open the Window-Eyes control panel, Alt-S Screen, U
Punctuation, and set miscellaneous to dictionary only. Then be sure to
save the set file.
Hth,
Tom

Have you received a reply to this?
I've been googling and playing around with we, and I can't get it to do
it either.
I looked in the graphic dictionaries, but I must confess, I don't know
anything about those.
This is a head scratcher, and now I want to solve the puzzle! Lol!

Subject: how can I make WE speak a character
I have been trying to get this symbol, ½
(one half) to be spoken by WE.
I have tried labeling it with the exception and the character
dictionary. It speaks when the cursor
passes over it, but does not speak
in reading, for example, when arrowing down by line. Can someone help
as it is difficult to looc for things like sizes and measurements
without reading each space. Any help is appreciated.
