Hey, Gerardo. In Vocal-Eyes, there was a setting--I think it was in the General menu--that allowed the user not only to set the length of pause after punctuation, but to set the amount of silence between spoken words. I don't know if Window-Eyes ever had that feature in its early years, but I know for certain that it does not have anything like that now. However, there is a way of adding pauses after periods, commas, colons, semicolons, exclamation marks, and question marks by adding special entries to the char.chr dictionary. Here is how.
Put focus on the Desktop so char.chr is the only character dictionary loaded. Open the WE control panel with control backslash. Press Alt-E to put focus on the settings tree view. Press d to land on the dictionaries node, then right arrow and down arrow to the character node. Tab to the original edit box and type the period character. Tab to the replacement edit box and type the word period followed by the period character. It should look like the example below. Use your cursoring keys to read the below text. period. OK. Now press Alt-U to update the entry you just made. I don't know where focus ends up after you press Alt-U because my dictionary is already filled with entries and so I cannot do a dry run for you, but if you need to, you can press Alt-O to return to the original edit box. Follow the above steps to add the other punctuation marks to char.chr. Press Control-S to save your work. Other punctuation characters like the n dash (November dash), m dash (Mike dash), and the ellypsis can be added, but you must either find the ANSI character code or be able to generate one in a word processing program like Microsoft Word so that you can copy and paste it into the original edit field. Kind of a clumsy way of getting the job done, but it's the only one that's going, Gerardo. Success to you, Lou N. -----Original Message----- From: Gerardo Corripio [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2014 12:22 PM To: gwmicro Subject: While reading or editing, no pauses after colons and others HI guys Ok where would I set in WindowEyes, so when after a colon or other punctuation, Eloquence pauses like it should?
