[bksvol-discuss] Re: single quotes and apostraphes

Hi, Cindy! With Jaws, the single quotes come out as apostrophes in both scenarios. The apostrophes come out fine, though. So I guess it really doesn't matter. :) It's unfortunate that Braille translation and/or speech screen readers don't do a better job of differentiating these things. Anyway, for now, don't bother with that single-quote symbol.

Forgot to leave the message that didn't turn out as well I think.
Anyway this is the one in which apostrophes read as "single close
quote"..

Thanks for the feedback, Lisa and Shannon.

With the sentences I originally sent, Shannon's reader
read them properly but Lisa's Jaws read everything as
apostrophes.

Here are the sentences two different ways. "I'm" and
"grandfather's" should read as apostrophes. There
should be a single quote before"Vivian" and after
"outside."  #1 uses the regular key on my keyboard,
the one udner the double-quote mark. Number 2 uses
that for the apostrophe and the combination of
keystrokes for the single quote.

Please let me know which is better for you. If the
latter is better for most of you, I'll start using
that.

Last week he said to me, 'Vivian put the popcorn
outside.'  . . .
