Rahul,
	It may be helpful if you use Jaws key (whether it be caps or insert)
and the letter k twice fast. In other words, hold down the Jaws key and ress
k twice quickly. This allows the screen reader to read the current word
character by character.
Hope this answers at least part of your question.
Thanks,
Kathryn

Hi All,

Is there any way to make JAWS read large numbers in a way that makes sense?
More specifically, say, for instance, if it is reading an 8/9-digit number,
how can I make it read that number in small chunks so as to understand what
the precise figure is? If it cannot do so, what other strategies do you
employ when confronted with such large numbers?

Best,
Rahul
