Hi Mike, 1 thought is, what do you have your punctuation set at? It might be set at a setting that silences the period / dot. Also, is this happening in all programs or just your email client? Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.

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.

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 Do you like disco?
