Hi Judy, Another tool you can use is Speech History, explained below. Speech History
By default, JAWS retains a list of the last 50 announcements that were spoken by the speech synthesizer. For users of refreshable braille displays, JAWS has always provided a mode where you could review this spoken information in braille. When this mode is active, you can use the controls on the braille display to review the last 50 announcements that have been spoken by JAWS. Speech History extends this functionality to users who rely on using speech more than braille. If you miss one or more messages spoken by JAWS, you can press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by H to open a Results Viewer window containing up to the last 50 announcements spoken by the synthesizer. When the Speech History window opens, you are placed on the line containing the most recent announcement. To clear the history, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by SHIFT+H. The history is also cleared when you lock the computer or completely log off. If you do not want JAWS to keep a history of what is spoken, do the following: 1.. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. 2.. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the default JAWS settings. 3.. In the Search edit box, type "speech history" without the quotes. 4.. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Enable Speech History in the filtered search results in the tree view. 5.. Press SPACEBAR to clear this check box. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Jones To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 01, 2018 9:41 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to read PC notifications. Hello, I have a laptop, and sometimes when opening up and lifting the screen, Jaws will speak certain notifications. Otherwise, I don't know how to access those when using the computer. Thanks for your advice.
