Thanks Doris! I will start implementing your suggestions. It sure will be
nice to have a snappy response from JAWS.

Increase the amount of physical ram installed on your system.
reduce the number of programs open simultaneously and running in the
background (a look in your system tray and in msconfig gives you
infomration on some of the background processes as does a look in task
manager)
practice general good computer maintenance as in running chkdsk and defrag
on a regular basis. How often you need to defrag also depends on what you
do on your computer. If you do a lot of copying and deleting, you need to
defrag more often.
Maybe use a memory manager/memory defrag program though some will argue on
the usefulness of such a utility. I use Freeram XP Pro, a free memory
manager utility. YOu will need to google for its homepage
If available, use a hardware synthesizer such as aDECTAlk express or
Accent external. Many of these can be had used for cheap these days as
they require a legacy serial port on the computer used. Many will work
fine on a usb to serial adapter or you can put an expansion card into your
computer.

Hi folks, I'm using Jaws 11 on a laptop and desktop both using Windows XP.
On both of them, I can wait several seconds after I have pressed a key,
before Jaws either echoes it or responds to it.
Do any of you have any ideas as to how I can decrease the wait?
Many thanks for any suggestions! Vicky
