Dave, I have punctuation set to most in just about everything I run, at home or here at the office, except my Bible, where I use none. Regarding that, the Bible will still read apostrophe, when it serves as a single quote, but only in The bible. I never hear it anywhere else, except in a few oddball possessives.

Sometimes the relationship of a character to another character can be a determining factor. When I create a particular report, JAWS doesn't always follow its own rules. For example, I use some date processing, but this report will read a date such as 04/05/2013 as 04 slash 05 slash 1 3. I discovered it only happens when the number runs slap up against a paragraph mark. If I place a period to the immediate right of the date, JAWS reads the date properly, but it also reads the period ("dot"). Again, this is because the period is right up against the paragraph mark. It might behave normally if I hid the paragraph mark, but I'd sooner put up with the anomaly than lose the paragraph mark.

It is my impression that the punctuation marks are present, but that they are being spoken unnecessarily.

Why would that have jaws speak punctuation that isn't actually present
though?

Your punctuation is set to all or most. You need to set it to some.

Hello,
I think I posted this a while back, but I never figured out how to fix
this.
In every application, Jaws says Apostrophe too many times. for example
'hello' said john
I hear: apostrophe hello Apostrophe Apostrophe said john.
What gets really annoying is when you have something like:
'orange' 1 'apple' 2 'pizza' 3.
There are way to many Apostrophes in there!
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs
