Hi Adrian, Almost! LOL I know you, & I know this was a typo! You said, "To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock off for the alt combinations to be accepted, and then turned back on for JAWS to work." Actually it's the opposite, To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock, on,

Hi Vicki, You were given many alternatives for writing accented characters. To suggest another I think it may be easier to you if you usually type using the U.S. English keyboard layout, is to switch to the US International keyboard layout, which is available by default along to the standard

To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock off for the alt combinations to be accepted, and then turned back on for JAWS to work. Note that for many symbols/characters, I need to put them in the JAWS dictionary to have them spoken. How many may vary from synthesizer to synthesizer.

If you hold down the alt key and type in the ASCII code for the characters you need on the numb pad you can get any character you want. If you don't know the ASCII code for a character you want just google it. I do it all the time. You will have to keep a record of the numbers unless you

I personally always found it easier and faster just to remember the alt-key combinations. This may be difficult though, depending on how many accents you need to use. I mostly use french ones, which are most acute and grave accents between 130 and 140 or so. So, to type an acute lower case e, for

Vicki, JAWS makes a number of accented letters available in a list that you access by pressing JAWS key+4 on the number row above the letters. You arrow down the list or navigate by first letter, then press enter on the one you want. Not all symbols are in the list, so it has limited use.
