Hi, Sue.

The quickest and easiest way to do this is to press Insert+V while you're in the file you use to read BS books, then press the letter P until you get to the Punctuation options. Jaws will tell you what the current setting is-- some, most, all or none-- and you can press the space bar to cycle through the settings until you hear JAWS say Punctuation, None. Press enter and you'll be back at your file with the changes in tact.

If I'm not mistaken, the settings you choose will be saved until you exit the program. I could be wrong about that, though, because I seem to remember reading that the changes are permanently saved in the settings file for which ever application you're using.

HTH,

Lisa

What I am wondering is this. When you are reading a book in speech just for
pleasure, and are using Jaws, can you set it so that it will not say
punctuation marks? If you are studying oor validating, of course you would
want to hear that, but for pleasure reading can you fix it to not speak
punctuation marks?

Hi, Cindy. You're right. I don't touch quotes in what I validate. I assume the submitter wants them as they are. In my scans, all quotes are processed to be double quotes. When I get a book from the Bookshare collection, I process the file to make all quotes double quotes. That way I get some peace from the punctuation racket. (smile)
