Hi Chris, Well, when I said "offline," I really didn't mean HTML, though of course you can have something coded in HTML that isn't on the Web. But I meant just like email, text files, Word docs, and that sort of thing. But mainly, I'm glad to know that I don't have to worry about this at all because it has to do with Skype. Which I don't use. Thanks a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 2:41 PM Subject: RE: reading phone numbers with latest JAWS 9 update Hi, it's only if you install the Skype Plugin that numbers will be read with garbage in between basically. If you install Skype, but don't include the plugin during installation, you'll be fine. Yes I guess phone numbers, even when read offline, will be read as garbage, however only HTML documents would be affected, and will only affect the browser you installed the plugin for. Hope that helps. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: Tuesday April 29 2008 10:22PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: reading phone numbers with latest JAWS 9 update So this is the crucial variable. If you're running Skype, then the update may screw up phone numbers when you find them on the Web? If you don't have Skype, it won't bother you at all? How about offline? Is it now misreading phone numbers if they're in an email or a text file or a Word document? Thanks. numbes numberrf ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 1:56 PM Subject: RE: reading phone numbers with latest JAWS 9 update Hi all, don't use the Skype Plugin for your browser unless you want to hear JAWS say numbers followed by onmouseover or clickable all the time. Thanks for reading. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James Scholes Sent: Tuesday April 29 2008 9:18PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: reading phone numbers with latest JAWS 9 update Hi, consider yourself lucky they read at all, just updated here and I can't read phone numbers from any websites. I just get the area code. I have to click on the number, which brings up a Skype Out box as I have it set up like that and then get the number from there. The number is there, but JAWS just says the area code, then a pause, then "On mouse over". Doesn't sound much like a phone number to me.
