Hello to everyone.  I am reading a 300 page book for school which I scanned
myself.  I am using Jaws 12 and Kurzweil 12.  I like listening to my book
with Kurzweil to catch anything odd Jaws says.  I'm finding that when there
are 2 words connected with a long dash, Jaws cannot speak them separately.
So, what I have been doing is manually replacing where it says long dash
with two dashes using the key next to the 0.  Jaws reads better this way, at
least is sounds easier to understand for me.  

 

My question is, is this okay to do?  If so, are there steps to do it in a
faster way.  I tried using find and replace but was unsuccessful.  thanks
for any assistance or suggestions.  

 

Blessings,
