if you wish to hear the word spelled, press and hold the insert (jaws) key and press the numpad5 key twice quickly.

JAWS will say each letter phonetically in a word once the first letter is set to do that. It won't spell the entire word at once, but it will do one letter at a time when using the arrow keys, which is what I'm trying to do.----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:rtverity@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Bob Verity To: <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 4:44 PM Subject: Re: jaws spellingThis 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.RTV ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:jbron@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Judith Bron To: <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 2:37 PM Subject: Re: jaws spellingI 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.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Yardbird To: <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 12:31 PM Subject: Re: jaws spelling 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:amethyst17@xxxxxxx>Vicki Wherry To: <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>JFW List Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 11:03 AM Subject: jaws spelling I'm using JAWS 7.1, and for some reason, I can't get it to spell phonetically in any application.
