Hi, I meant to say that it has things people said. It will interrupt the text with a saying by Wayne Gredsky, Abraham Lincoln, or whoever. It can happen in the middle of a sentence or paragraph.

What exactly do you mean by sprinkles quotes? Are there random quotation marks? If so, you can probably just delete them. Sometimes extra characters appear in the text like apostrophes and greater than signs. I use an older version of Microsoft Word and JAWS 7.1 and I notice that the screenreader doesn't always read the entire line so that, if you're reading a conversation, you'll heare a bunch of quotes but you won't hear the text that's in them. Hope this helps.
