Moderated Double And signs


Dennis Brown
 

Whenever Jaws encounters the & sign in the text of a button, link, or control, it announces it twice.

Example, in Windows 11 Settings, it reads

Privacy && Security.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Dennis T. Brown

Well, there is a symbols file that is used to convert symbols to text strings. But if you are running the current version of JAWS, and you have never tried to adjust symbol pronunciation then you should probably talk to support so this can be properly fixed.
Personally, I didn't even notice the double speak since often in programming two ampersands are placed next to each other.

Do you get the double symbols?

Well I finally got a chance to test and could not reproduce.
