Hi George,
For blind people like us, JAWS Text Analyser is good for inconsistencies
like that. I don't think any other screen reader has the equivalent.
All the best

Hi Alison,
I'm no screen reader expert, but is what you want something which could be
handled there.
On the other hand, I have to say (as a sighted person) that I also wish to
see where I may have typed two spaces in error between words.

Thanks George. I did wonder what the purpose for this feature might be. I
think, however, that it would be more useful to have a quiet beep between
words rather that it constantly saying space marker as it is very difficult
to make out the sense of the sentence when each word is interrupted in such
a way.

Perhaps it might be worth chipping in here and explaining what this function
is actually for.
It is actually known as "Show/Hide" in Word, and visually is a small button
on Word's ribbon which looks like a backward facing capital letter P as in
papa.
As well as displaying spaces, which as you know get spoken, it also display
other controls such as tabs, line breaks and hard returns and those too get
spoken.
In real terms, most users only need to see these if they wish to very
carefully check the formatting of a document which must look as perfect as
possible.

Hi Alison,
I suspect you have turned on paragraph and space markers by mistake.
If you go into Word and press Control+Shift+8 on the top number row, then
space markers will be turned off. This is a toggle, so if you do it again,
they will be turned on again.
All the best

I'm using Jaws and don't know what setting I've changed but Jaws is reading
space marker all the time in MS Word between words. How do I switch this
feature off?
