Hi Carolyn from Ron Kolesar and current Leader Dog Boz.
What I'd like to see in jaws especially for reading money is this.
Currently what is nice if you have a dollar amount it will read it as
example.
$55.
Example two.
If you also have something like
$3.25
It only reads as three point two five.
Instead of reading $23.25.
Example threee
I also would like to see the following.
For just something smaller than a full dollar.
We currently have to use the following format.
$0.25
And it read zero point two five.
I'd like to see twienty-five cents.
Wouldn't you?
It is something to think about.
Ron and Leader Dog Boz who's kind of semi retired and not fully retired just
yet.

Text settings is where to go to gew that. If you have problem, write again.
I'll go through it, then tell you, but I know it is in Text Settings, which
probably is in Configuration Manager. Otherwise, you might go into JAWS and
search for Text Settings. I don't know why, for the life of me, that speak
dollar after digits is not a default. I guess it makes sense to somebody,
especially, since the thing has that capability. I could understand if they
had not developed that yet, but for ten years, I've had to set one, if I get
a new update or something that makes me lose settings.
Best from,
Carolyn

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Pronunciation of Monetary Amounts
On my old XP computer running JAWS 9, monetary amounts were announced
correctly. For instance $86.75 was announced by JAWS as “Eighty six dollars
and seventy five cents”. But on my refurbed Windows 7 machine running JAWS
15, this amount is announced as “Dollar eighty six point seven five”. How
can I adjust JAWS 15 to announce monetary amounts in the latter format
rather than as a string of characters? I could not find anysettings in the
Settings Center to accomplish this. Thanks.
Gerald
