Messagehi guys,
It's essentially like military and nautical stuff, used for transmitting voice
messages over radio communications systems for the sake of clarity and
legibility when necessary. I'm sure former military people or former sailors
here will know this. . That's where it comes from to be used like this.

JFW uses the standard phonetic alphabet used by the military, the ITU, and
amateur radio operators world wide. It's been pretty much a universal standard
since the earliest days of screen readers (or talk programs, to use '80's
vernacular).

I don't know what this way is referred to but it is not phonetic. This is
using alternate words to spell out a word so that the user knows which letter
is which by means of using unrelated words for each letter. For example the
word many:
mary, apple, nancy, yesterday
I wish I knew what this way of spelling was but I don't. Judith

Here is an example. I want JAWS to spell the word wade phonetically. It
would spell it whiskey alpha delta echo. And BTW, just spelling the word with
insert numpad 5 doesn't work either.

Vicki,
Are you sure you mean phonetically? Don't you just mean spelling things
out, character by character? Because if you really are talking about having
things spelled phonetically for you, there's a way to set that in the
Configuration manager, and someone else here can probably direct you where to
find that specific setting.
but if you just mean the default way that Jaws spells out a word when you
press Insert 5 as you describe, Insert 5,5, then that isn't phonetic.
Just to get straight what it is that you're after.

I'm using JAWS 7.1, and for some reason, I can't get it to spell
phonetically in any application. I'm pressing numpad 5 twice quickly like
I
always did, and it won't work in any program. Is there a setting I need
to
change?
