I tried this earlier today, and it did nothing! I think maybe it is the string being only punctuation that is throwing it off. I will keep playing with it, though.

You could start working on a personal dictionary file for EdSharp that would do this kind of thing for you. I was just reading the dictionary manager help for the new JAWS 11. It says you can use different synthesizers and voices to speak things, play sounds for strings, speak and play sounds for strings at the same time, and more. Just go into the dictionary manager and press F1 to get into the documentation and check it out. I think you'll be able to solve your issue this way.Jim -----Original Message-----From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of The ElfSent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 5:13 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: edsharp and screen readers: suggestioninteresting idea, I know it could be done in jaws, and probably window eyes,but the others I have no clue if it could be done, Jamal, if you decide to add this, you might want to give it the option to use one of a set of veryshort sounds for those readers that don't have multi voice output abilities,smile. take care, elf proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises "own the might and majesty of a Alacorn!" www.alacorncomputer.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Blind Programming List" <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 11:07 AM Subject: edsharp and screen readers: suggestionHi all, I was thinking that it might be good to have an option to define certain character sequences to be spoken differently. For example, to be able to define == (two equals signs) to be spoken as "equals", but in the tutor message voice instead of the regular voice. This would help a lot when looking through code to see if you forgot an equals sign in an if statement or for loop; if you do not hear "equals" in the tutor voice, then there is only one equals sign there. Similar to this would be ++ (plus plus), -- (dash dash), and any other sequence you want to define. What do people think?
