I can do this, but need to know where to send the files, since I don’t think the list will accommoddate the attachments.

Tom, If you've got an "old word" file where it's announced, and a "new word" file where it's announced, I'll happily have a look to see what's up. If it's very easy for you to tell me the phrase that precedes "vertical tab" that would make things a bit faster for me, but it's not necessary.

Is that the character that usually appears beside a radio

cursor?

Re: How To Stop Jaws From Saying "Vertical Tab"
Tom Behler
Brian:
I can send you a sample file where the vertical tabs are being announced, if you’d like.
One thing I have just discovered is that vertical tabs do not appear to be announced in files that have been prepared with previous versions of word such as Word 2003, 2007, or 2010.
It seems to be most prevalent with files in Word 2016, or in e-mails in Outlook 2016 in Office 365.

Martin, I know what it is, but it is so very seldom used (or even known about) that I'm really wondering if what is being announced as "vertical tab" is actually a vertical tab. I come from the days of computing when there were punch cards, 300 BAUD lines, tractor feed paper, and when carriage return was just that and a line feed character was necessary to bump the paper (or screen cursor) to the next line. The only use that I can conceivably find for vertical tab these days is if one is writing poetry where one wants line breaks but doesn't want the automatic paragraph break that comes from hitting return. Were I writing this way I'd find it much easier to set paragraph spacing such that there was "no space after paragraph" and actually have to hit Enter twice to create a blank line. I'd love to have an example of a file where "vertical tab" is being announced to see how it's laid out on the screen and whether the vertical tab is actually there or if that's being used to describe something else.

Pronunciation of Geometric Shapes in JAWS
Annabelle Susan Morison
Hi, it's
Annabelle.
I've discovered that
you can configure JAWS to speak unicode characters in any way you want it to,
but I wonder, of all the unicode characters, I can't find one that represents a
"quarter circle". Where I've heard it speak this "quarter circle" is on radio
buttons of an installation screen on a program, specifically the ones that are
unchecked, especially when I navigate to them with the JAWS cursor. Which
unicode character and hexidecimal value represents a quarter circle? This way,
I can have JAWS speak all occurances of this character no matter what
synthesizer I have it switched to.

Re: How To Stop Jaws From Saying "Vertical Tab"
Martin Blackwell
Brian,
It’s a soft return, ASCII 11. Not a page break. I investigated this when it came up before in Word. If you put some soft returns (SHIFT+ ENTER) in a Word document, and search for ASCII 11 or manual line break you’ll find it.
From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Brian Vogel
Tom, Have you checked punctuation settings? I imagine this gets announced when many others don't because it represents an intentional page break where one would not otherwise occur and its a way to let the listener know that you've jumped to the next page "early."

Yes, I have, Brian; and have punctuation set to “some”, as I always have done in the past.

Hi everyone,
I am doing some research for my work and wanted to see how accurate this tool is while using it for other applications than PDFs. I regret to say that I have not utilized it any. Thanks in advance, Ward

Re: Frames
Bill White <billwhite92701@...>
Hi, Cindy. It depends on What Internet Browser you are using.
A list of frames can be generated by using JAWS Key plus F9. In Firefox, if you
are inside a particular frame, you can press the Applications key and arrow down
to "Show this frame only". This makes it easier to use the Mouse Cursor (ALT
plus SHIFT plus Down Arrow). If you can get the mouse cursor to land on the
flash video, you can click the Left Mouse key (next to the NumLock on a NumPad).
Then the video will play. The problem is that with many of the new browsers,
there are no buttons for the video. It just says
Flash Start
Flash End
This makes it almost impossible for a blind JAWS user to play
the videos.

How do you read frames. I have been trying to play something and when I hit enter on the things to do with it they call it frames. I think the video is in a frame. I don’t know enough about them to be articulate. Cindy

Can JAWS Work With Spectragrams?
Annabelle Susan Morison
Hi, it's
Annabelle.
I'm corresponding
with the representatives of Audionamix, who make a program called ADX Trax Pro,
and they're working on making it accessible for screenreaders like JAWS.
However, I'd like to find out, how would JAWS recognize a
spectragram?
