Are you using the standard Eloquence voice or one of the new Real Speak Solo
Direct voices? I now use the Australian Karen voice and have found similar,
unwanted "replacements". It happens even if I turn off the JAWS Dictionary
Manager. The escalation Tech Support guy thinks it might be a dictionary
embedded within the voice. He currently did not know how to turn it off,
but he is looking into the issue. It makes the following replacements:
Dr. (with a period) = drive
whereas Dr (no period) = Doctor
WA (as in Seattle, WA) = Western Australia
Rx = recipe
sec (as in KB/sec) = secretary
Roman numerals such as "D" or "C" = their value (not sure how it decides
when since it is only occasional)
mm = millimeters
$ 14M (million) = dollar 14 meters
and so on...
I have overridden some of these using the JAWS Dictionary Manager. But it
would be much better if the voice's internal dictionary (if that is what it
is?) could be turned off. Does anyone know how to do this?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Office
We've found a strange occurrence in JAWS with Office. If you type a
number greater than 31 followed by CAN, must be all caps, JAWS
pronounces it as Canadian Dollars. So the typed phrase, 32 CAN GO TO
THE DANCE, comes out as "32 Canadian Dollars go to the dance." Anybody
know how to shut that off?
