Text Analyzer Group
When editing a document using speech only, inconsistencies
such as unmatched parentheses, unintentional format changes,
extra whitespace, and stray or unspaced punctuation can
often be missed. Text Analyzer is a tool that notifies you
of these errors in your document by using a spoken message
or WAV file. You can configure JAWS to announce
discrepancies by count, by description, or by sound while
proofreading the document by line, sentence, paragraph, or
Say All command. Braille users will benefit from this since
a sound can be emitted before the user has time to read the
entire line looking for errors.
Turning On Text Analyzer
Text Analyzer is off by default. To turn it on, do one of
the following:
- Use the layered keystroke, INSERT+SPACEBAR,
A. By pressing and releasing INSERT+SPACEBAR,
and then pressing A, the Text Analyzer
can be toggled on or off.
- Open Settings Center (INSERT+F2). In
the Search edit box type "text analyzer" without the
quotes. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Text
Analyzer in the filtered results. Press SPACEBAR
to select an alert notification.
- Use Quick Settings (INSERT+V). The
process for selecting an alert notification is the same as
the Settings Center procedure described above.
Keystrokes
If multiple issues are identified in the document, press ALT+WINDOWS
Key+I to move to the next item, or ALT+SHIFT+WINDOWS
Key+I to move to the previous item. Note that
these keystrokes can still be used even if Text Analyzer is
off.
