Hi Dave. That is really great! Thanks. Do you think it could also be used
with carriage returns for apostrophes that start at the beginning of a line or
are at the end of a line?

In the Dictionary Manager, you will have to enter several entries, such as:
The following examples are for the apostrophe as it represents an open single
quotation mark.
Actual Word:
space character apostrophe character
Replacement Word:
space Character double quote character. (If that does not work, enter the
word quote instead)
Use the above replacement example to change left square bracket apostrophe
and left parenthesis apostrophe
The following examples are for the apostrophe as it represents a close single
quotation mark.
Actual Word:
apostrophe character space character
Replacement Word:
Double quote character (or the word quote) space character
Use the above replacement example to change apostrophe comma, apostrophe
period, apostrophe question mark, apostrophe exclamation mark, apostrophe right
square bracket and apostrophe right parenthesis.
HTH
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Yes. I did try that but it made words with apostrophes sound strange like
don t and can t.
Thanks for the idea.
I just don't understand why this is still a problem. So many editors have
"smart quotes" that seem to make apostrophes instead of quote marks.
I tried all the punctuation levels in jaws but can't shut them up.

You could use the jaws dictionary to change apostrophe to quote, but then
you would never hear apostrophe.

My favourite voice is Eloquence. When I read some scanned books, they
have apostrophes instead of quotes. How do I get Jaws to stop saying
apostrophe when there is a quotation? It drives me nuts!
I tried setting punctuation levels but it doesn't stop apostrophes
being spoken when they are used instead of quotes.
