Hello to you David. I thought If I would have place the person's name in the subject field, that those reading their mail would know tht letter was for her and not everyone else. I will not do it again. -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2015 9:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] A Letter for Carolyn.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Carolyn Arnold Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2015 12:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Pronunciation of Monetary Amounts 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 -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2015 11:55 AM To: [email protected] 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.
