Re: Jaws saying haf and quarter

You coudl put 1/2 and 1/4 in your JAWS dictionary, but you run a risk of
other things not being pronunced properly. For example, "Volume 1/2
volumes" would be pronounced as Volume one-half volumes." You'd have to
weigh what is more important to you. At least with JAWS saying one slash
two, you would know what it means.
