Re: jaws spelling

It doesn't matter how many times I press the key. Nothing happens. I'm using my 
laptop right now with a USB external numpad. I have it set to desktop keyboard 
layout, and I've never had this problem before. I'm trying to locate another 
numpad just to make sure it's not my numpad. The number 5 seems to work when I 
use it as a numpad for number entries, though.

  It seems a repair of JAWS might be the option.  When you hit numpad5 twice 
quickly, is it the same as if you hit it just once?  If you hit it three times, 
you should be getting the ANSI character number.  Are you using a standard 
Windows keyboard?  If not, there's further room for querying.

    Judith, actually, I don't think you blundered at all. I just wanted to use 
the term that Freedom Scientific used so that people would know what I was 
talking about. So far no one has been able to figure it out.

      I guess that everything has been redefined, sorry for the blunder.  Judith

        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?
