Hi,
I haven’t tried spell checking with NVDA. But with Jaws 18 it spells the word
initially. And if I want to hear it again I tab and then shift tab and it
spells it again.

Subject: [blind-philly-comp] Spell Checker in Word 2013 and 2016: Identifying
the Misspelled Word
During our last phone meeting, a question came up regarding how to cause NVDA
to speak the misspelled word when using the spell checker in Word 2013 and Word
2016. These newer versions of Word don't use the older spell check dialog we
were used to and getting the screen reader to speak the misspelled word seemed
much harder than it should have been.
With NVDA, the way to do this is fairly unintuitive and I wish we could see
some work, either by Microsoft or with NV Access, to make this solution more
intuitive. The keystroke, at least to get NVDA to speak the word the first
time, is insert+numpad 4. This moves the review cursor to what is called the
previous navigator object and the word will be spoken. However, this works when
you are focused on the "ignore once" button, which is the first button which
usually comes into focus when you press f7. Once you press insert+numpad 4, you
must then press insert+numpad 5 to hear the word repeated. What would be nice
is if Microsoft could include a read-only edit field containing the misspelled
word but later versions of Word do not include this feature.
With JAWS, pressing insert+f7 speaks the incorrect word, along with the
suggestions.
