Hi,
I use Jaws 11. It is practically impossible to write Irish in it, so when
I need to write irish, I must turn Jaws off and hope for the best, and then
turn it back on when I'm finished.
Cearbhall pointed out that Ins+4 gives a list of symbols which can be
inserted or added to a text. I have tried this, but it takes so long to
find the proper sínte fada symbol, that writing Irish is far too awkward in
this way.
The normal way on a keyboard, using Windows with language settings at
Englad (Ireland), is Right-Alt+A for á, etc; this method allows a person to
write in Irish at the normal speed, but unfortuneately clashes with Jaws
commands, so doesn't work in Jaws. For example, your liable to be told
something like, "object not found" or "there are no headers on this page"
etc. - I can't remember exactly what, because last time I tried, it messed
up my language settings and I don't want to try it again.
Does anyone know of any solution that doesn't involve going in and
reconfiguring Jaws shortcut key settings?
Regards,
Robbie
