Hi Robbie,
Do you mean that if you insert an a acute and then arrow across the letter
that Jaws just says a?
It says a acute for me. I?ve just added an a acute below in this message:
á
I?m using eloquence with british English, so perhaps it is a synthesiser
issue?

Thanks Tim, that's good to know.
Supplimenatry question: currently, when Jaws is reading out the letters, it
doesn't distinguish between an a and an á etc. it just terats all vowels as
straight vowels. Is there any way to get Jaws to pronounce or declare the
fadas, anyone?
Thanks for the Ins+3 suggestion, Eamonn, but it didn't work for this
purpose: I don't know what its for.
Regards,
Robbie

Hi Robbie and Tim,
How about the Jaws "pass through" key: INS +3?
This ensures that if the next keypress is a Jaws command, that command
will be ignored. At least that's my understanding, though I don't think
I've ever used it!
Regards,
Eamonn

Hi,
When you hit jaws key + 4 to bring up the symbols dialogue, hit the letter
of the accented character you want and It should jump to that letter. This
saves you arrowing down through the whole list.
So, for example, you want o acute, just hit insert + 4 and then the
letter o and hit enter.

Subject: [vicsireland] Irish and Jaws
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
