He could simply have a bad keyboard as well, in which these three characters
(I, O, and U) make erratic contact when pressed, resulting in multiple key
presses as seen by Windows.
He might try a known-good keyboard to verify.

Troy,
What good would it do if you could stop jaws speaking the second instance of
the character you'd somehow typed twice? It would still be typed twice, but
now you'd be obligated to reread every word you wrote in order to find and
delete such duplications, either manuallly or by using spell check, even if
you wouldn't have bothered, ordinarily.
Also, you say this happens because you're "heavy fingered," suggesting that
you can't manage to lift your finger off the key before it repeats. Well,
most keys on your keyboard are *not* repeating characters. So do you mean
that you somehow type letters and numbers twice, lifting your finger after
having depressed the key once, and then striking it a second time? That
sounds not like having a heavy finger but more like a neurological problem
or the shakes. Maybe this is something to look into with a doctor? Just
running through the possibilities.
Good luck.

Hello All,
For quite a while now I have been getting a lot of double letters in words
when I'm typing, especially the letters i, o, and u. It seems like most of
the time when I go to type one of those 3 letters I'll end up with 2 of the
same letter instead of one. I know that this is just due to heavy fingers
but is there any adjustment I can make in Jaws to keep this from happening?
I was thinking specifically about the
