Could be your screen resolution, if the resolution is very high and the carat is overlapping the character on the screen Jaws will see it as a newly written character when the carat flashes off and repeat it to you each time.
See if changing the cursor blink rate changes the rate of the repetition to find out if this is the cause. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike & Barbara Arcadia Sent: 18 July 2010 21:25 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating Hi Flor; I tried NVDA and I was able to read character by character what Jaws wasn't able to read character by character. Everything seems to be okay when writing. I truly appreciate your input.

One thought is that this might be a video card issue. How about when you're writing, is everything ok then? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara Arcadia" <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating > Hello Sir; > > Thank you for your response and confirming what I thought about how > key > repeat works.
