From: "Tom Kingston" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: WINDOW-EYES 7.5--A SUGGESTION FOR THE FUTURE Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 8:22 PM Here's a quick fix that will let you hear whatever you want.1. Define the characters you want spoken in the default character dictionary(char.chr). This file will be assumed unless you've associated another character dictionary with the program in focus. To do so, go to theDictionary node and expand it. Cursor down twice to Character. Then Tab down to the original and replacement fields, entering your character and what you want spoken. Tab to the Update entry button and press the spacebar or enter. You'll land in the dictionary list on the entry you've just made. Tab back up and repeat the process as needed. Then don't forget to save (Ctrl-S) whenyou're finished. A shortcut to the dictionary node is to place your mousepointer on the character you want to define, then hit Ctrl-Shift-E. When you select the character dictionary the character your mouse was on will be inthe original entry field. 2. Under screen, punctuation, set math, miscellaneous, and textual todictionary only. This will leave them all available in the event you decideto add any more characters in the future. And again, don't forget to save these changes. Any characters you've placed in your dictionary will be voiced.

There should be some type of exception to not speak things like n apostrophe t or star apostrophe ve or star apostrophe ll, for example. I would be glad to do that except for one minor deatail, I'm (oh yeah, starIf you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.

If your reply would benefit others on the list and your message isHi Olusegun , I agree about how awkward the apostrophe is; there are times whenprogramming I wish to hear it, but not when it's in it's usual place in a word. I think this is a great opportunity for a scripter to handle this issue somehow. maybe use the character dictionary to stop the apostrophe from being said, and then processing the text before it's spoken to seeifthe apostrophe looks out of place, and if so, then substitute the word"apostrophe" for it in the text?Something along these lines anyway should let us hear it when it's out ofplace, and not hear it when it's not. hope someone feels like taking this on, and maybe others will offer suggestions as to how this might work?

[mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 12:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: WINDOW-EYES 7.5--A SUGGESTION FOR THE FUTURE Hi Everyone:I did receive the CD in the mail this past week-end and I installed atworkabout two hours ago. Right now, I'm still putting it through its paces.In a few days, I should, if plans do not go awry, have a better report.During the quick setup selection, I noticed that such items as the Dollarsign, aprostrophe, ETC. were placed in the Miscellaneous selection checkbox.In my opinion, I think that currency and percent signs should be separate check boxes. I put forward this suggestion because the way Window-Eyes7.5reports apostrophes when reading a document leaves much to be desired.Forexample, "you'll" is read as "you(apostrophe) l l." This can make the reading of documents a bit hard to follow and perhaps even understand.The reading of apostrophes, me thinks, should be moved to punctuation selection checkbox.When I read a document, I don't want the apostrophes, dashes, parentheses and such read. However, I'd like to see $1, $100, and or 10%, 25% read. This is essential for some of us who run retail operations and want to be sure that the information being read by the screen reader makes sense.I am hoping that my suggestion does make a modicum of sense and that GW Micro staff will take a hard look at the proposal and hopefully implementitby either releasing a patch later, or in the next release of the program.Many thanks!!If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
