Hi Susie, are you using a SAPI5 voice? I found when switching from Eloquence to
the SAPI5 UK Daniel voice it did exactly what you're describing, plus many
similar inappropriate abbreviations. I think it's just the programmers who
designed the voice's dictionary being too smart for their own good, to a degree
that the voices, although excellent in other respects are rendered pretty much
unuseable. Currencies and american state names were common manifestations of
it. Because it's the speech engine's own dictionary that's at fault changing
settings in the jaws dictionary does nothing.
I have now reverted to Eloquence, which, although far inferior in voice
quality reads things correctly.
John.

Hi Listers,
I work at the United States Department of Agriculture in Kansas City,
Missouri. I am a programmer, but I also help to test pages and applications
with JAWS. We have an application which says Australian Dollar when it finds
au. I can't seem to duplicate it, but I need to have JAWS just speak the
letters. I was hoping someone might know so I don't have to spend an hour
looking for it. Helping with testing is not my main work.
Thanks in advance for your help.
