[nabs-l] Glitch with Jaws reading by character or word on Spanish textbook web site

[Munawar Bijani]

I'm curious if your Special Character setting was changed.

Open the Default settings center. Next, go down to "Graphics and Symbols."

Look for the "Announce Special Symbols When" option and set it to "Also 
Say Word."

Save your changes and see if that works.

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.

>>> When I navigate by character or word with Jaws on my Spanish textbook web site, it does not read accent marks as as "a accute" or "n tilde." Instead, it says "character 2 4 1" or "character 2 3 6." 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?
