Hi Maria, This feature has been the same in the last several versions, if not all, or most of them. But, it's probably 1 of the least used / utilized, so it could be easily forgotten. If you go in there to make any changes there's also an edit field for each key label that you can actually change what the key label says as well. For example, by default when you press the spacebar Jaws reports, space, but if you typed, Señor Ferrin, into this edit field Jaws would say, Señor Ferrin, whenever you pressed the spacebar. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool. Early to bed, early to rise, keep my iHemorrhoids from being a surprise. ----- Original Message ----- From: Maria Campbell To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2017 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Muting keys
Thanks Mike. I'll save this, but probably lose it somewhere. Really, it's just that I'm too old to remember how to do it from upgrade to upgrade. So why not have VFO simplify it and add this to the start-up wizard like the key echo setting.
