Bonnie....Update on this....it is happening all over...I teach virtually all over the country and can tell you with that last update of jaws they sent out it happened to the majority of of my kids .....that problem u described started to happen...not just in spell check but whenever jaws just got the feel to stop talking....too problematics for my new kids so they went back on 13 ...no issues....called fS and they hope a fix is on its way with the new update out soon
But they said they had never heard of the issue before I called so call and tell them
