No, its not just the period that's not being spoken. It's also other punctuation like dash and slash in web addresses.

Good morning,

Gerald, you showed an example of dot com so first question is does it do it
for all punctuation or just dot?  If only dot could it have been placed in
the JDF file so it wouldn't be spoken?  I've silenced the greater than in
this manner.

I do not know why the punctuation settings will not change.

Good luck,

Paul

Subject: Problem With JAWS Punctuation Settings


Hi listers.  For some unknown reason, JAWS 9 with the IEMax scripts
installed has suddenly stopped speaking most punctuation when I browse the
web using IE 8.  For example, JAWS now speaks "Google.com" as "Google com"
with no period between google and com. I checked the verbosity settings by pressing Insert-V, and under the Edit Options, the punctuation level is set
to none.  But when I checked the Customize Punctuation dialog on the Set
Options menu of the JAWS Configuration Manager,the punctuation level is
still set to most.  But when I try to change it to all and then close the
Configuration Manager, I don't get the usual prompt asking f you want to
save the changes, so I'm wondering if there is a problem with the
Configuration Manager. I have been using the IEMax scripts for a few weeks with no punctuation problems until now. Interestingly, when I unload JAWS 9 and launch my demo version of JAWS 10 which does not have the IEMax scripts
installed, the punctuation is fine with the level set to most in the
verbosity dialog, but again, the Configuration Manager does not offer the
save changes dialog when I close it.  Any idea on how to fix this annoying
punctuation problem?  Thanks.

Gerald
