Stopping VO from saying, Return, new line.

2013-01-19 Thread Matt Dierckens
Good morning all. I wisht there was a way to make voice over stop saying, return, new line, when reading in say all mode in any text editing application. Heck, even preview will do it. Any suggestions? Or is there nothing I can do about it. . Matt Sent from my mac Twitter: matt692 -- You

I've never seen that happen. Is it with a certain voice? Do you have punctuation set to all? On 1/19/13, Matt Dierckens matt.dierck...@gmail.com wrote: Good morning all. I wisht there was a way to make voice over stop saying, return, new line, when reading in say all mode in any text editing

Interesting, mine doesn't say return it just says new line, which I like as I like knowing the formatting of the message or page or content I'm reviewing. Do you have it set to read lines? Randy On Jan 19, 2013, at 11:25 AM, Matt Dierckens matt.dierck...@gmail.com wrote: Good morning all.

Hi. This usually happens with plane text files in textedit and other similar applications. I've written Apple accessibility I think a couple of times about this, but don't remember what responses I've gotten. Might be high time to write them again about it, because it really is annoying. Just

If it's in files, were these files ever on Windows? My personal theory is that vo will read a $lf (line feed) character as new line, since the mac uses just $lf to denote a hard return. Windows, on the other hand, uses $crlf, so I think vo sees the $lf as new line, but then sees $cr (carriage

Matt, It does this for me as well in TextEdit, but I don't know what to change either. Just thought you'd like to know it's not just you. Thanks, Harry On Jan 19, 2013, at 9:29 AM, Matthew Campbell wrestling.ch...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. This usually happens with plane text files in textedit

I think whether you get new line or new line and return depends on the type of line break in the file. I know sometimes when there were both I've taken out the returns. I can't remember whether I've ever performed this task in Text Edit or have always used emacs in terminal. But that digresses

I read a lot of plaintext files and I don't always, or even usually, have this happen. There must be another variable involved besides. I think it's more likely if the line break is such that there is both a new line and a return but I'm not sure. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the

Hi. That's it exactly. It's too bad there's not an easy way to convert a file quickly without having to save the file all over again. On 2013-01-19, at 11:33 AM, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: If it's in files, were these files ever on Windows? My personal theory is that vo will read a $lf

This saying of new line happens also in Itext express with epub files. It makes reading epub files intolerable. I also get it in the mail app if I open a message, but not if I use the preview pane. I do not care one whit about the format of email. I just want to know the text. I can see the

I only get the new line spoken in HTML emails. Otherwise, in .doc or .docx files created on a PC, VO doesn't say new line unless I navigate line by line. What are the verbosity settings being used by those of you who have the problem? I've also tried with different voices: Fred, Alex, Tom and
