numbering in lists, etc.
Hi, Is there a way to get Jaws to say the item number in a list such as email 32 of 345? I currently have no idea as to how many more email messages I have to go through this morning, grin. Thank you.

help with verbalizing items
In Window-Eyes, it was possible to have words spoken after pressing space or punctuation or the spacebar. It was also possible to have each digit of a number spoken immediately when typed, such as 123

Thank you very much. My main concern is when typing the numbers from the keyboard. The reading is not a problem as much as I need to hear what I am typing. I don't want all numbers spoken this way, gr

When I have my setting to characters, of course, it will do this, but I type fast enough that I prefer to use words. If I type something like dv-12345, I don't hear the numbers until I press enter, sp

silencing Jaws during self-voicing programs
How do I get Jaws to stop speaking while running programs that have their own speech? For example, Kurzweil has a Jaws built-in way to take care of this. I would like to play my BlindGamers games with

silencing Jaws during self-voicing programs
Hi again, Pablo, The suggestion for Kurzweil will not work. Jaws is turned off and since Kurzweil uses the insert key, it can't be used to activate Jaws. Maybe someone else has the correct answer. It

Thank you. This works great for number input only, but I suppose I can get used to using the words mode and just double-check entries when in standard typing. Window-Eyes had a specific setting where

The insert-space with s works great. It does not take much effort to turn speech off and on, provided one knows how to do it, grin. I am enjoying my games between cramming my brain with Jaws commands,

In all the years I used Kurzweil, as it is mainly a document reader, I never had need of or found such a key. I think the trick lies with Jaws and how it was set up to block speech when the program op

Hey Netbat. That's quite alright. I am not quite so sure what I am doing right now. With all of the new email lists and the ton of messages, I wasn't sure if I even sent the message to the right group
