[JAWS-Users] stopping Jaws from saying space marker
Hi list. I have a couple of files for my course. I am finding, that Jaws is saying space marker a lot. It is almost after every word. It is also saying paragraph marker at times too. I haven't experienced this with previous files. It makes reading the text rather awkward. Is there a setting I can change to stop this? I am using Jaws 12 on a XP home system. And I am using word 2003. Although, I think some of the files may originally have been PDF documents. Thanks Jason For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] Text Vs. HTML in Outlook 2007
Cher, There is no way to tell Outlook 2007 to open the incoming messages as text instead of HTML. But, when I open HTML messages that were routed to my Junk folder, they are in text format and all HTML is disabled. I copy/paste the links I want to access from those messages. You have now made me realize that I need to route more messages to Junk instead of constantly waiting to open them in the web browser.

[JAWS-Users] using 32 bit voices in a 64 bit system
This worked for me just fine, no problems at all. This document was found on the accessible devices how to do it page. *** How To Use 32 Bit SAPI Voices In A 64 Bit System This document was assembled from more than one source. The instructions here have worked for us. In our experience the rebooting problem mentioned, at the bottom of this page, did not happen, even though the computer was rebooted more than once. However, we've left it in just to alert you to the possibility. If you are running a 64 bit operating system such as Windows 7 or Vista 64 bit you may have noticed that many of the text to speech voices out there are 32 bit. What that means is that if you look in your 64 bit Text to Speech control panel none of the 32 bit voices can be selected as a default voice. In consequence, if you are using an application like Qwitter in SAPI 5 mode then Anna will be the only voice you can use with it. Fear not, because there is a work around for this problem. The following steps will allow you to choose any 32 bit voice as your Windows voice in a 64 bit operating system. 1. Bring up a run dialog by pressing Windows key + R. 2. Type in the following command into the run dialog box and press enter when done. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl 3. If everything goes well, at this point you will be presented with a text to speech control panel that will seem familiar to most 32 bit Windows users. 4. If you tab to the Voice Selection combo box, and if you have any 32 bit text to speech voices installed, they should be listed in this combo box. 5. Simply select the text to speech voice you wish to set as your default system voice, along with any other changes you wish to make, and press the OK button when done. That's it. Now when you start an application like Qwitter the voice you chose should be the one speaking if using Qwitter in SAPI 5 mode. There is one drawback to this. The drawback is, once you restart your computer, Windows does not remember the settings you changed. But if 32 bit voices are a must, you can just repeat the steps as explained above. Created on ...

And Thank goodness, I could not stand using the standard Google.

You type in your search, press enter and when the list of results come up get this custom google search thing. What I mean is when I try to read the results, its like the results from google and not how it normally is displayed for labs.google. Man, I hope I am making sense. I cannot move by heading or anything like that. If you understand what I am saying, please provide a response. If not, go ahead and write back and yell at me and I will try to explain better off list.
