HI,
Suppose your work deals with reading numbers like quarterly estimates or
your are reading a textbook with numbers on a line.
The Insert numpad 5 hit twice quickly will read where you are, but one
advances too slowly across arow of numbers.
To that end, F S gave us "say next word" which worked fine with JAWS 3.5.
I used 3.5 and 4.5 and 5 for a long time until X P disallowed the use of
3.5 which read numbers correctly as 1 entity.
So suppose--excluding this or any email--you
type some numbers like 1.23 4.56 6.78 2.34 5.27 across a line.
Try to remember as you move across.
Reading numbers is not like reading a narrative.
Either control insert leftor right arrow doesn't work--but was advertised to
do so--or it takes 2 or 3 efforts to move across a number (version 5)
or the number is chopped up with 4.5xx.
Yes, in the strictest sense of the word reading, the numbers are read but
so badly that one can''t do it for 9 hours.
Freedom Scientific told me in person that thiswould work easily in X P and
this has been a listed feature for JAWS 5 as of August on the F S site.
