NVDA sometimes spells last word between quotes in Firefox #238

Reported by daTscharlie on 2008-11-24 21:30 Hello James, different languages and web sites using different quotes - sometimes NVDA speaks the last word between quotes as single characters.

Comment 1 by jteh on 2008-11-25 01:07 I assume you mean it spells the word? This is an issue with the speech synth being used. Some synths will spell a word if they detect an unknown character. Please confirm if this is correct. In this case, there is little that can be done on the NVDA side; we should not arbitrarily ignore characters because a synth cannot handle them. However, you can create a speech dictionary to work around this.

I'm using IBM ViaVoice SAPI4 version 6.4.1.0 and your work around has solved this issue. Thank you very much.

Comment 3 by jteh on 2008-11-25 18:08 Out of interest, does this problem occur for you with the in-built eSpeak synthesiser? Changes: Changed title from "NVDA speaks last word between quotes in Firefox sometimes characterwise" to "NVDA sometimes spells last word between quotes in Firefox" Added labels: wontfix State: closed

eSpeak and Neospeech Kate/Paul works fine.
