Hello Vicki,
In addition to the many suggestions you received, I thought I would
mention that when using Word you can use a combination of Word keystrokes
to produce several accented characters. Further down in this message is a
table of some of them.
In Word, you can use AutoCorrect to always use the accent you want. Go
into Word options. In the category list arrow down to the Proofing
category. Tab to the AutoCorrect button and use spacebar. In the Replace
edit combo box type the spelling without the accent. Tab to the With edit
box and type the word with the accented characters. Use the OK button
until back in the document.
For example, You could use Therese in the Replace box and then use the
accent on the first E when typing in the With box. If the first E is an E
grave you would type it by using CTRL with the tilde key followed
immediately by the E.
To produce
Press
à, è, ì, ò, ù
À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù
Ctrl+` (grave accent), the letter
á, é, í, ó, ú, ý
Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý
Ctrl+' (apostrophe), the letter
â, ê, î, ô, û
Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û
Ctrl+Shift+^ (caret), the letter
ã, ñ, õ
Ã, Ñ, Õ
Ctrl+Shift+~ (tilde), the letter
Ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ
Ctrl+Shift+: (colon), the letter
å, Å
Ctrl+Shift+@, a or A
æ, Æ
Ctrl+Shift+&, a or A
œ
Ctrl+Shift+&, o or O
ç, Ç
Ctrl+, (comma), c or C
ð, Ð
Ctrl+' (apostrophe), d or D
ð, Ð
Ctrl+' (apostrophe), d or D
ø, Ø
Ctrl+/, o or O
¿
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+?
¡
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+!
ß
Ctrl+Shift+&, s
Take care.

Thank you so much to everyone who answered my questions. I certainly have
a lot of options.

Hi Adrian,
Almost! LOL I know you, & I know this was a typo! You said, "To be
clear, you need first to turn the numlock off for the alt combinations to
be
accepted, and then turned back on for JAWS to work." Actually it's the
opposite, To be clear, you need first to turn the numlock, on, for the
alt
combinations to be accepted, and then turn back, off, for JAWS to work.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

Note that for many symbols/characters, I need to put them in the JAWS
dictionary to have them spoken. How many may vary from synthesizer to
synthesizer.

I personally always found it easier and faster just to remember the
alt-key
combinations. This may be difficult though, depending on how many accents
you need to use. I mostly use french ones, which are most acute and grave
accents between 130 and 140 or so. So, to type an acute lower case e, for
instance, you would hold down the alt key, and type "130" on your number
pad. Not sure how this works in Windows 10 yet, but XP let you access a
character map where you could search for and see the number values for
all
accented letters and symbols that are not available on the standard
keyboard.

Vicki,
JAWS makes a number of accented letters available in a list that you
access
by pressing JAWS key+4 on the number row above the letters. You arrow
down
the list or navigate by first letter, then press enter on the one you
want.
Not all symbols are in the list, so it has limited use.
I'll leave it to others to explain how to assign a keystroke to produce a
given accented letter.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS
Is there a way to have JAWS automatically add accent marks in a foreign
language word when writing in English?
For example, if I were to write the name Therese which is a French name
but
I am writing the document in English, can the correct accent marks be
either
added or automatically set to add any time I write the name?
If I need to add them manually, how can I locate them on the keyboard?
Not
all of them are on the standard typing keyboard.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
Vicki
