  2. Punctuation within links during Say All.

A few thoughts.

 

When a comma or other punctuation follows a link, I believe JAWS sees it as if it were a comma following a space. In “some” punctuation, which is my standard setting, a comma will be read if it’s isolated from the word preceding it.

 

The same probably applies to closing quotation marks.

 

I can’t explain the St. Louis issue, unless it happens when what you encountered while reading in “say all” was St without a period.

Yest, it’s been doing this for a while, but I’m not sure which build it started in.

And I have punctuation set to none on global and Say All punctuation settings.

Update: that is weird. Have you tried restarting jaws?

Hello. Hope that you’re having a good day so far. Have you checked your punctuation settings? Take care.

Is anyone having JAWS announcing punctuation within link text when using Say All?

If I read a document with several links separated by a comma, the comma gets read, as well as quotes, periods, etc.

The Say All punctuation setting is set to none, as well as the global punctuation.

Also, if I read a link with down arrow, or Say Line, the dictionary file for that application is processed, but in Say All, it isn’t.

For instance, if I read St. Louis, it reads as Street Louis, instead of Saint Louis, if I’m reading with Say All.

Using latest build of JAWS 2022 on Windows 11.

Anyone experiencing this?

Thanks,

Dennis
