Hello, to get jaws to read punctuations you need to go to the jaws settings
sinter by pressing jaws key plus the
number 6 then press control plus shift plus d at the same time then go down
to punctuations and press the right arrow to open it there are two things in
there the first is customize ... don't do anything there down arrow to the
next one that says punctuations press the space bar until jaws says some
then press alt to get out of there and press
ok to save the setting and it should work correctly.

Mike, on my system, the "dot" is pronounced. I'm also using JAWS 18, but
it's been consistently this way as long as I remember. I wonder if a
punctuation setting is involved. I'll think about it, but I'm sure others
will post a good answer in the meantime.

If I type a Yahoo email address, or a gmail address or even a edu address,
all I get is yahoo com, edu, org, but it doesn't pronounce the (dot) portion
of the email or web address. This can easily throw someone off, because if
you're dealing with lots of email addresses, it can be hard for someone to
tell them apart.
I looked in the startup wizard of Jaws, but it didn't seem to have any
information regarding how this type of information is read or how to adjust
it. Fortunately, I have a backup screen reader in addition to Jaws.
Window-eyes seems to be the only screen reader that will actually read this
info correctly. Hopefully they'll fix this in a future upgrade of Jaws. I'm
currently using version 18.

Hi fellow Jaws users:
Could someone please tell me how to get Jaws to read email address and web
domains correctly? For example, when I read someone's email address or web
address, I would prefer to hear dot com, dot e d u, dot org Etc. Thanks.
Mike
