Moderated Setting JAWS not to say misspelled

Gezim Rexha
 

Hi List,

 

While posting on Facebook yesterday, I got annoyed by JAWS saying ‘misspelled’ for every single word, so that I could not check my text before posting it. Of course, the reason was that my text was in Albanian, not in English, but I wonder if I can set JAWS not to say ‘misspelled’?

 

I am using latest JAWS, in this case with Google Chrome.

 

Best wishes,

Gezim

It's not JAWS saying misspelled, it's Chrome. Turn off automatic spell-checking. I don't know where that's done because I'm not a Chrome user, but it's in settings or options somewhere.

Hello GezimL
 
I do not think that in this case JAWS is to blame. I have had the same problme on a number of sites over several years. What causes this problem I have no idea. I often come across this problem, when I am composing an email message to a company from their web site, -either to get further information or to pose a question. It is extremely annoying. At present, I cannot think of where and when I last had this problem.
 
Sincerely:
 
Dave Durber

Hello Steve:
 
This problem is not restricted to Chrome. I have had this happen to me while using FireFox and Internet Explorer several times but, I must admit, not for two or three years.

That's right, it's not restricted to Chrome. All Web browsers have spell-checkers. That's one of the first things I do when I try a new one is to turn those annoying things off. Spell-checker, grammar-checker, they all go off. I was properly taught to spell and construct sentences in school. I neither need nor desire software to correct me. Actually, I'd much prefer to have a person do it than a piece of code, like my good pal Dave Durber, ha ha, who's been doing it for years, whether I need it or not! LOLLOL! You know I'm just having you on, Dave, or at least I *hope* you do.

Never knew this and turned spell check off in Chrome. However, problem persists reported on below in initial portion of this thread. This only began with me a few Jaws updates ago. Any other suggestions for silencing this pesky annoyance?

 

Best,

Al
