HI Paul.
hmm, wow, you are right! it does work in your test example here.
somehow it's not working in my sinario though. I'm not sure why yet, more
testing at work needs to be done, against tests I've just done here based on
your findings.
I'm wanting to use numbers rather than letters, and I want jaws to say the
phone extensions of this PcConsole Switchboard application,
as, 8 o 1, 8 o 2, 8 o 3, etc, whenever it sees, 801, 802, 803 etc.
so, i've defined all those in the dictionary, and they work very nicely so
long as I queery the frame manually with a keystroke. But, the number
strings that turn up in the NewTextEvent buffer , when I get it
automatically to do a sayString on Buffer Contents after appropriate
processing and conditional checks,
I'm not always seeming to get that, and it seems to be jumping
back to the 8 hundred 1, 8 hundred 2 type sinario. And before anyone asks, I
don't want just to set jaws to speak numbers as single digits either, for a
number of other reasons, one of them being I don't want jaws saying, zero,
as it's a two sylobal number rather than o, which is one.
I'll do some further testing though on Monday now that I know the dictionary
processing is not broken in other sayString sinarios.
Thanks very much for doing those tests for me Paul eh.
your all lifesavers out here I can tell you!
Geoff c.
