[nobe-l] perky duck

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Hello,
I was hoping another JAWS user could help.  I am using Perky Duck 
to complete assignments for my Ueb course through Hadley.  
However, I have noticed that Perky Duck and JAWS are not working 
well together.  JAWS is not always speaking when I am typing.  It 
also does not read any text I enter, so the only feedback I get 
is from my Focus 14 which is not easy to edit these kinds of 
documents with so few Braille cells.  Therefore, I have no 
reliable way to edit my work.  I am doing well on the 
assignments, but I could probably improve my score if I had an 
easier way of editing my work.  We tried the apex, but for some 
reason, my instructor can't grade files created on my apex.  We 
have not been able to solve this yet since we can't figure out 
why the issue is occurring when I changed my settings to match 
hers.  Therefore, is there anything I can do to make JAWS work 
better with Perky Duck or does it just not read no matter what I 
do? Also, can the Apex open dxb files? I was considering 
transferring it to my apex to check it and then send it to my 
instructor, but I'm not sure if the Apex support the dxb format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
