It is not a JAWS problem, it is an Eloquence flaw.
If you select one of the sapi voices you can read it just fine...
I was once researching se Greek and Roman mythology and ever so often
the computer would just die when scanning down my email list. Now I
understand what happened, it was the fatal "a E" combo...
I will inquire if Window Eyes version of Elequence does the same thing.

I just realized something.  The culprit isn't the wrd, but the dipthong
a e 
(I was careful not to type them without a space).  a couple of years
ago, I 
had this problem in Jaws with the word (spell it out letter by letter;
I'm 
afraid it may still cause trouble for someone) a e s t h e t i c.

The problem was those two letters, not the specific word in which they 
appear.  Hope this helps, strategically.

Hi.  Could you tell us how you set it up so the offending word does not
crash JAWS for you?  I'd be very interested in making the same
adjustments.  Is this something you can do in Dictionary Manager?

Thanks

actually you're right.
The originator wrote "the following screws up Jaws" then proceeds to
type it with no spaces, so as not to cause anyone else's JAWS with
Eloquence synthesizer from doing the same, while still showing us the
word. Fortunately, I have come across this evil spelling of the word in
other places, so have made definitions to say it the right way.  This is
a huge error in Eloquence, and the company who created the synthe either
doesn't know, or doesn't care to fix it or post how this can be done,
other than to make dictionary entries to replace the original spelling
with a modified one.

I feel that if anyone else writes that word they should put on the
removal list because they apparently aren't mature enough and have no
empathy for anyone else.
