That’s exactly what CodeFactory does, so I don’t know why Brian was writing all that, since everyone can have what they want, and the default is the same as Vispero’s. All the best

Hi, I doubt it. CodeFactory have abbreviations turned on by default, so no-one notices, unless they change the flag. It also works with JAWS, if you select their version of the synth, so I’m a

Even with the setting off, I still get some expansions, obviously done by the synthesizer. Mike B wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend

And you should see what Tom does with dates! Its awful and there is no dictionary entry that would solve it. Richard Turner wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The

Thanks Brian, and all, Maybe Jaws 2021 will and I will tax my brain then if it does. Later, Richard "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself,”

Joseph, Thanks. Unless I hear otherwise then that means discussions of regex on the JAWS group is really entirely off topic because you can't use it in conjunction with JAWS. -- Brian -

Richard, I am going to wait on answering this on the group until after I get a definitive answer as to whether JAWS supports regular expression syntax in pattern matching for

 Hi All, Steve said: I wish JAWS would have an option to not expand abbreviations. I was only showing that Jaws does have an option to expand abbreviations, not to say it was going to fix

Hi, I don’t think JAWS dictionary manager will let you enter regular expressions. Cheers, Joseph

First, I'll admit I'm being lazy as I don't want to restart my machine just so I can test this in 40-minute mode, and I know at least one of the regulars here will know the answer of the top of their

Brian, I would like to learn how to apply this in other situations, Could you give a brief explanation of what is happening here? Why the double letters in brackets? To take Kevin’s issue,

Mike, What you suggest will work to force JAWS to pass what amounts to the full word for it's "known list of abbreviations" to the synth. But it does not get the desired effect when it's

Mike, These are good instructions. Sadly, the Nathan voice ignores those settings. I’ve tried it with expand abbreviations uncheck and checked and the same with the one below that for

All I can say now is that the Tom voice does not say good. I loaded Nathan to check, and yes, Nathan says good. If entering gd in the dictionary and then g d with a space between them in the

Hi. I’m using the Nathan Compact voice. Oh well, it is what it is, but it’s annoying. Kevin and Jilly

David, It's beyond the scope here, but believe it or not it would be possible to identify a string like Saint Peter Street, with the abbreviations used on both ends, and with anything in

 Hi Steve, Jaws does have an option to expand abbreviations or not, it's in the Settings Center, in both the applications Settings Center and Settings Center default all applications. Look

Acapella, which I've used with another screen reader, takes this to a whole new level with the text string TVs, as in "how many TVS do you own" as it reads the string as "t versus"

- But it is important to note that the responsibility still lies with the synth, not the screen reader, in terms of how it behaves. And I'll bet that once this ability to pass the flag/switch to the
