Re: [JAWS-Users] I wont to change the star Punctuation to say something else
I don't know if this will work for you or not as I have not tried it. One thing that I thought of doing if I wanted to do that is to create a new voice scheme and naming it something to remind me of where I would want to use it. A scheme can be set up to do a lot of things. I don't know if reading the, star, is one of them. But if it is and you created a scheme for reading that page then all you would have to do is to change to your personalized scheme and, Walla , you would have it. Just a thought, because I have not investigated this at all. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Robin Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2018 3:26 AM To: jaws list Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I wont to chane the star Punctuation to say something else I just want the star simble to say UnReconciled in a home budgit which I use.

Just to add to Mike's explanation, be sure you follow his steps with the application in focus where you want the * symbol verbalized differently. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Mike B.

Open the application you want to work with, & press, Insert / Jaws key + D, to open that application's dictionary manager. 2. You should be on the, Add... button, so press the spacebar to open. Press your backspace key a couple of times to make sure any text that might be here is deleted. 3. Type the, * , star symbol. Now I'm assuming you're meaning the star symbol you get by typing, Shift + 8, on the number row above the main keyboard. 4. Tab to, Replacement Word, press the spacebar to open, enter the replacement text, UnReconciled in a home budgit. 5. Tab to, Okay, press enter, press, Control + S, to save, & Alt +F4, to close. If this doesn't work let us know what happened. Using the above steps it worked on my Windows 7 Pro computer. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I wont to change the star Punctuation to say something else
Robin, no question, JAWS has made what used to be a simple task difficult, and I have no idea why. It would help if you explained exactly what you want to do. Meanwhile, first, you can select "punctuation" in the JAWS quick settings dialog. I realize this isn't exactly customizing punctuation, but maybe changing this setting when you go to that application will give you some flexibility. Second, David Ferrin, one of this list's moderators, posted instructions a while ago that just might help, even though at first they might seem only indirectly related to your query. My guess is to skip the "navigate to default" step: Assigning A Keystroke To Adjust Punctuation On The Fly. 1. Press, Insert + F2, to open the Jaws Manager. 2. Go to Keyboard Manager and press enter. 3. Navigate to Default, & then tab 1 time to get into the list of options. 4. In the Default keyboard manager list navigate to Set Punctuation Level If it says none. That means there has not been a keystroke assigned. 5. Press the Alt key to open the menus, & right arrow to Action. Then down arrow to Add Keystroke, & press enter. Or press control + A which is the shortcut for assigning a keystroke. 6. Insert a keystroke combination like control + dash for example. If the combination is already being used for another command jaws will tell you. Doing this in the Default Keyboard Manager, allows this keystroke to be used in all applications. 7. Tab to the Okay button, press the spacebar, then a dialogue will open asking if you are sure you want to modify the default JKM. Press the spacebar on the Yes option. Now, every time you press the control + dash keystroke it changes the punctuation level. So press the control + dash keystroke until you hear the punctuation level you want. If you ever want to change or remove the keystroke, simply repeat the above steps. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Robin Sent: Friday, March 02, 2018 5:32 PM To: jaws list Subject: [JAWS-Users] I wont to chane the star Punctuation to say something else Can anyone help.
