Ted,
Remember that Nicol is writing from South Africa, where date styling is
different. I know there's at least one other South African subscriber to
this list. I wonder if others there are experiencing the problem. If so,
they need to notify FS. But this is an old thread, and maybe the question
has been resolved.

It should recognize slashes as well; that's what I always use, and have no
problem.

HI joseph I found out what the problem was why the translation option didn't
want to work. First of all, regardless whether some translation or extended
translation is selected, if either of those 2 options are enabled, dates
will only be recognized when there is a dash; not when year, month and day
is separated with any other character such as a slash or a period and some
agents even separate year, month and date with spaces. So that doesn't work
for me. Also when either some or extended translation is selected, and a
date is written 2007-01-19 jaws would read it as January 19 2007. I prefer
only to hear: 19 january as its obvious that the year is 2007. if a date
like 2006-01-19 is in a service request yes then its ok if jaws pronounce it
as January 19 2006. But all right I can still cope with hearing 2007. The
big problem is: it doesn't recognize characters other than the dash as a
seperation character.
