Sometimes, add ons can cause general outlook sluggishness. Also, if the pst file gets too big, that can cause issues with the app. I did have problems with delay in speech and sluggishness that you describe, but those were with earlier versions of jaws. Using jfw 11, I can't say I've been experiencing those performance issues.

When I open a message to read, Jaws will pause and not respond for at least 5 seconds before I can read the message. 2. When I open "Tools" and "Customize", Jaws completely stops speaking. 3. While composing a message, Jaws does not respond consistently when I press the backspace key. Meaning that when I press backspace key repeatedly, Jaws responds with a jitter. Sometimes it speaks the deleted character immediately, sometimes it lagged a second before saying the deleted character. Has anyone encountered any of these issues and whether you have been successful in resolving these issues? I have the same problems using Jaws 10 or 11. And it doesn't matter whether I'm reading an html or plain text message. Any suggestion is appreciated.
