Hi Elizabeth,
Would it be possible to change your screen reader's punctuation settings to
"none" for a time? The words may still sound weird, but at least you won't
hear "-" every ten seconds...
I hope this helps,
Sarah

Subject: [nabs-l] Reading Through a Textbook

Hello All,

I recently received one of my textbooks from the disabilities office.
However, I was rather disappointed that I could not read through it rather
easily due to a lot of hyphenated words that sound funky while using a
screen reader. So I tried scanning the book on my own and got the same
results. Does anyone know of an easy way to correct all the hyphenated words
that appear in my textbook without correcting every hyphenated word
indivisually? I have a reading assignment that is due on Monday, so any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
