Hi Vicki,
The source of the confusion isn't this. Or it shouldn't be, anyway. For me,
it's that you can actually set your spelling function in Jaws to behave
similarly to this automatically whenever you want a word spelled out for you.
It's a setting you can make in Configuration Manager.
Anyway, just so you get some help. That's all that counts. Good luck.

The term used is spelling Phonetically. Below is the direct command from the
JAWS help:
Say Character Phonetically
NUM PAD 5 twice quickly

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?
