Hi,
What you're hearing is the character value instead of the user-friendly 
label. If you press the SayCharacter command, which is NUMPAD5 on a 
desktop and JAWSKEY+COMMA on a laptop, you will hear the user-friendly 
label again. If you press the SayCharacter command three times quickly 
you will hear the value of the character. The hook will stay as long as 
you arrow left or right.

I find this annoying, and I was wondering if any of you would know how to fix this in Jaws settings. It only does this when I navigate by character or word, and not when I read bY line or paragraph. Previously, it would say "a acute" when I navigated by character and say the word normally when I navigated by word. Recently, I was exploring the Jaws settings center, and my guess is that I accidentally changed something that made it behave this way, but I don't remember what it was. Would any of you know how to fix this?
