Hello David, There's also another way to turn speech off, but still have the other jaws functions.
If you press the jaws key, or long insert, together with control and s you're prompted to select a synthesizer and one of the options is "no speech". You could either press the relevant letter or navigate to the option with your arrows and just press enter. To get speech back, just press control with insert with s again and type e and enter, if using eloquence. If you use jaws 10 it's a bit more intricate, as then you choose among all the speech profiles and if you haven't changed it, eloquence there would probably be the default, so you'd choose d instead. This setting works very well when one for instance, wants to change to a different synthesizer for another language and I use it on a daily basis to read afrikaans with the espeak afrikaans synthesizer.
