Re: help with punctuation

While in JAWS 12, I just tested whether a new insert-v punctuation setting would hold after exiting and returning to Outlook 2003. It didn't. Other listers and I have found the same thing in the past, hence the convoluted ways people have found to work around JAWS's peculiar punctuation setup. If you've tried the insert-v method yourself and confirmed that it works for you, I'll have to find out why it doesn't for me. I certainly wish it did.

Subject: RE: help with punctuation In JFW12, while in your mail program, if you press Insert+v, then P, you can adjust the punctuation level for that program. The setting remains in effect the next and subsequent times you run the program. Dean -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@...

Subject: RE: help with punctuation Phyllis, From what you say, JAWS 13 has the same limitation here that JAWS 12 andearlier versions have. The following is a slightly modified version of an earlier post of mine. Permanent punctuation settings are not made in the configuration manager. Instead, you find them in JAWS options (insert-j), then by arrowing down to and clicking on the voices submenu. From there you press enter on voice adjustment and tab to punctuation. The default setting is for global voices. However, you want different levels of punctuation for different applications. In JAWS 11, this requires creating a voice profile. Below, I'll copy the example Bill white posted to this list to suggest how this can be done. Let me say that this process is ridiculously complicated for a setting that many JAWS users would want to change from time to time. Other listers will write in if the process has been changed, and hopefully simplified, in JAWS 13. Here goes: I have an example of a profile that goes with OE. I called the profile oe, as in o e, and the thing I wanted to change was the punctuation. In the configuration manager, it is impossible to have punctuation set to none, unless you customize every single punctuation entry. But in the Profile, there is a selection, Punctuation none. So I set the punctuation to none, and also slowed down the voice so that it would be slower than my default voice. In this way, I customized OE, so it would not read all the punctuation, and would have a slower reading rate. After saving the profile, I started OE. Then I Pressed Insert+J to bring up the Jaws context menu. From there I went back to options, voices, select profile, and selected OE. Then I checked the box that said: For OE. It was done, and whenever OE starts, it comes up with the parameters I set in the JAWS profile. ** Punctuation Levels -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@...

I merged with Jaws 12.0, and chose no punctuation. I am getting all sorts of punctuation in my email! I don't mind it in note pad or word, but I don't want to here it when I am trying to just read my email! How can I stop this? I don't wish to put ( in the dictionary as a space! Help?
