JAWS - Can it use regular expressions (regex) pattern matching?
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

Regular Expressions question, was about abbreviations
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?

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

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.

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

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"

Kevin, my Vocalizer Tom Enhanced speaks your example perfectly as g d not good.
Which voice are you using exactly?

There was a passing mention on the recent FS Open Line about an upcoming version of Vocalizer. Eric said it wouldn’t be in the first release of JAWS 2021, but they hoped to add it into an update.

Hi,
Again, Nuance have already included it as a screen reader flag, so it’s up to Vispero to put a switch in the UI.
All the best

Hi David,
I wish JAWS would have an option to not expand abbreviations.
If you buy CodeFactory’s version of Vocalizer, it has a setting in its own settings to disable abbreviation expansion.

GD is the braille contraction for good.
Perhaps it is being confused that this should be the default at all times?
It’s like S t always being pronounced street, when it is equally used for
