You could try the Customize Punctuation dialogue. this may work best if
you first have punctuation set to most or All, in the JAWS basics
dialogue, and then customize a sign or signs so that Most or All
occurrences of that sign wil be silenced. This customize punctuation
dialogue can be reached through Settings Center, Default
control+shift+d, then type punctuation in the search edit. it will be
one of 2 or 3 results.

John and All,
When I started trying to get JAWS 12 not to say left bracket etc.
Insert -V from the message list view had most for punctuation.
Changing it to none or some gets it to work temporarily, but I haven't
been able to find the proper item in the Settings Center yet to make
it permanent. Changing the setting in voice in options with Insert-J
that I understood to be another list member's suggestion didn't seemed
to have worked, but I might have messed up.
I'm pretty sure while I was looking in the Settings Center that I was
able to change verbosity to Advanced, which was one of the things I
wanted to do.
I'm going to take a break.
Any more instructions for making the change permanent would be great.
Margaret

Margaret, let me try and help.
In jaws 12 and 13 you will need to use the new configuration facility.
1. While in your "in box", hold down the insert key and press the
letter "v"
as in victor.
2. you are in the quick settings tree view. down arrow through the
various
controls and when you get to a control you think you need to change,
tab
once to read the jaws help. Usually, if you want to change an item,
you
enter on it to check or uncheck an item.
see if this helps.

Hi All,
Trying to switch from XP Home to 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium with a
new
version of JAWS, a different e-mail client , synth, and new keyboard
at the
same time has totally fried my brain and I need some help please with
something that should be simple.
In Windows Live Mail 2011 and JAWS 12 with Eloquence, JAWS is speaking
brackets, parentheses, etc. in the names of lists that appear in the
subject
field and, at least for now, I'd like to hear only the names without
the
extraneous symbols being spoken.
For example, JAWS says
left bracket JAWS dash users right bracket in the subject field for
this
list. For now, only hearing
JAWS Users
would make me very happy. I think I have Advanced Verbosity set, but
I
can't remember if brackets, parentheses are included in punctuation or
not.
I know I used to be able to use the JAWS dictionary to have list names
not
speak at all, but I want to see how it goes hearing them minus the
extraneous stuff. Do I still do it with the JAWS dictionary or is
there
some setting somewhere to accomplish it? JAWS 10 on the XP home is
saying
it the way I prefer
Any help would be appreciated.
Margaret
