giving the latest version of JAWS a spin since I plan to update the JAWS to NVDA guide for the next version.
I keep doing NVDA commands and wondering why it's not working.
I'm not a fan of how JAWS handles punctuation. I forgot that it doesn't pause for things like dashes and parentheses.
I don't want to turn this into a JAWS bashing thread so this is my last word on it.
Having a look through JAWS' Settings Centre. This isn't bashing as such, but I think they really need to do some spring cleaning.
They still have the option "Allow wave files with software synthesisers", which only made any difference in the bad old days of single channel sound cards. The help text for it reads:
Select this check box to enable smoother playing of WAV files when using the DEC Talk Access 32 software synthesizer. This option is only available in Default.jcf. Changes to this setting take effect the next time you start JAWS. It is cleared by default."
In the app for installing Vocaliser voices, the samples Freedom Scientific recorded for the Brazilian Portuguese ones are them reading English text. So it says something like "My name is felipe and I am a Brazilian Portuguese voice..." lol
@menelion Thanks. Also maybe tell them that some of the voice samples are just them reading the numbers 1 to 10,, which I guess isn't good enough to see what they soundd like.
