Hi Vicki, If you want to add the accented letters manually you can access several from the symbols list, Insert / Jaws key + 4, on the number row above the main keyboard. When you're typing a word & want to insert an accented letter, at the spot you want to put the letter, open the symbols list, find the letter / symbol, & press enter. Pressing enter on the symbol will put the selected letter / symbol at the point where the cursor is located.
Here's a list of symbols that can be inserted using the numpad: Key Commands for Spanish Keyboard Commands for Accent Marks and Symbols Make these accent marks and symbols by holding down the "Alt" key (by the spacebar) and using the keypad at the right of the keyboard. Be sure the "Num Lock" key/light is on or glowing. (For use in most word processing applications/programs in Windows) SPANISH Alt 130 = é. Alt 160 = á. Alt 161 = í. Alt 162 = ó. Alt 163 = ú. Alt 164 = ñ. Alt 0209 = Ñ. Alt 144 = É. Alt 168 = ¿. Alt 173 = ¡. Alt 129 = ü. Alt 148 = ö. end French Windows users - Hold down the Alt key while typing the four digit code to make special characters. (e.g. Alt+0252 = ü. You may have to use the number pad to the right of your keyboard.) Mac Users - Hold down the Option key, and press the character indicated above, then release the option key and type the letter you need. (i.e. Option + U [release] + u = ü) end GERMAN Alt 0228 = ä. Alt 0246 = ö. Alt 0252 = ü. Alt 0196 = Ä. Alt 0124 = Ö. Alt 0220 = Ü. Alt 0223 = ß. end alt + 0191 ¿. alt + 0192 À. alt + 0193 Á. alt + 0194 Â. alt + 0195 Ã. alt + 0196 Ä. alt + 0197 Å. alt + 0198 Æ. alt + 0199 Ç. alt + 0200 È. alt + 0201 É. alt + 0202 Ê. alt + 0203 Ë. alt + 0204 Ì. alt + 0205 Í. alt + 0206 Î. alt + 0207 Ï. alt + 0208 Ð. alt + 0209 Ñ. alt + 0210 Ò. alt + 0211 Ó. alt + 0212 Ô. alt + 0213 Õ. alt + 0214 Ö. alt + 0215 ×. alt + 0216 Ø. alt + 0217 Ù. alt + 0218 Ú. alt + 0219 Û. alt + 0220 Ü. alt + 0221 Ý. alt + 0223 ß. alt + 0224 à. alt + 0225 á. alt + 0226 â. alt + 0227 ã. alt + 0228 ä. alt + 0229 å. alt + 0230 æ. alt + 0231 ç. alt + 0232 è. alt + 0233 é. alt + 0234 ê. alt + 0235 ë. alt + 0236 ì. alt + 0237 í. alt + 0238 î. alt + 0239 ï. alt + 0240 ð. alt + 0241 ñ. alt + 0242 ò. alt + 0243 ó. alt + 0244 ô. alt + 0245 õ. alt + 0246 ö. alt + 0247 ÷. alt + 0248 ø. alt + 0249 ù. alt + 0250 ú. alt + 0251 û. alt + 0252 ü. alt + 0253 ý. alt + 0254 þ. alt + 0255 is a y with 2 dots above it and Jaws won't read it for some reason. Near as I can figure the alt 0255 is called a diæresis, at least according to my research any way. This is according to the research of David Ferrin. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

To: JAWS Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 2:44 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS Is there a way to have JAWS automatically add accent marks in a foreign language word when writing in English? For example, if I were to write the name Therese which is a French name but I am writing the document in English, can the correct accent marks be either added or automatically set to add any time I write the name? If I need to add them manually, how can I locate them on the keyboard? Not all of them are on the standard typing keyboard. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
