Hi Flor. Thanks for this. Will do.

Damien, Go into your aplication JAWS Configuration manager - JAWSKey+6, then control shift d for the default (if you wish); Ptress alt-s, g for 'graphics and symbols'. there's a group of five settings. Choose from among them. It may be that you changed the verbosity (which was once called ANSI Character Verbosity) here. there's not a lot we can do about the vagaries of Eloquence' synthesized pronunciation. (One person sometimes hears the same sounds differently than another. Try the É with other vowels and consonants, and I think the sound differs slightly between one and another.) I suggest that you put the question on to the vicsireland list, where more irish users may choose to give their answers or opinions on it. If you're not on that, or not on it much, then robbieS on irelandvipnews may want to assist. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damien O'Connor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2012 2:18 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS not speaking characters correctly. Hi. OK, that's fine. Maybe what is actually on the screne is a capital é so visually it probably is ok. This occurs when I go into my Irish/English dictionary. Here's the effected entry. " Éadrom, Light". JAWS speaks the word correctly, but, when I arrow through the Irish word character by character, JAWS speaks the following: "cap É" "a" "d" "r" "o" "m". I've looked into the jdf file I created to find any entry that would cause JAWS to speak the letter as a capital A but can't find any. -----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: 25 August 2012 02:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS not speaking characters correctly. No, you can't alter the ASCII value of a character. You might have changed the pronunciation of it at some stage. ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Damien O'Connor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2012 12:19 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS not speaking characters correctly. > JAWS 11.
