Hi David,
It’s surprising how many people don’t use or know about Text Analyser. It’s a
tool I couldn’t live without when creating documents for presentation.
No other screen reader has it either, even Window-Eyes, which I consider to
have had some of the best features of any screen reader, didn’t have it.
All the best
Steve

If you are using Jaws then the excellent Text Analyser is your friend for
detecting format change and errors.
However I routinely do a global replace of double spaces with a single space
before I run text Analyser as this is far more efficient normally.

Your solution is so simple and yet had never occurred to me, George! Thanks.

One suggestion is to actually do a search for 2 spaces and decide if you wish
to replace them with one space.
There is one caveat however, and that is whether or not your class insists on
two spaces between sentences. The trend these days tends to be just one space,
and indeed web browsers will usually only show one space.
Not sure how to answer your second question at the moment.

The ability to know when I have accidentally typed two spaces would be very
useful. Two of my Creative Writing Class are currently editing one of my
stories and one of the ost common errors they have found is that in places I
have spacing gaps. So I can see how this function might be useful but feel a
subtle tone would be more helpful than the screenreader constantly saying
“space marker”.
One of the other errors was that on two occasions I’d accidentally changed the
font. I know that by pressing insert f in Jaws I can be told what formatting I
have but is there anyway in which I can be alerted when there is a significant
formatting change?
