This is spelling phonetically.  Unfortunately there is no JFW function that 
will spell an entire word phonetically.  A script to do so could be easily 
created.

  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?
