[nabs-l] Reading Through a Textbook

[Chris Nusbaum]

Elizabeth:

Sarah's idea would probably be a good immediate resolution to your problem.
I have my punctuation set to "some" for that very reason. Also, have you
tried telling JAWS to "say all" using JAWS key + down arrow? This would
likely help you put the hyphenated words together. If you need to look more
closely at a part of the text for whatever reason, you can always stop JAWS
with the control key and then put it back in "say all" mode with JAWS key +
down arrow.

Hope this helps,

Chris

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
