Vicki, JAWS makes a number of accented letters available in a list that you access by pressing JAWS key+4 on the number row above the letters. You arrow down the list or navigate by first letter, then press enter on the one you want. Not all symbols are in the list, so it has limited use.
I'll leave it to others to explain how to assign a keystroke to produce a given accented letter. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vicki W. Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 5:44 PM To: JAWS 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.
