Hi Sugar. That combination is the default hotkey combination for re-launching Jaws. I use that on Jaws 14 but as I use Jaws 15 mainly now I can't use the same combination, I now use Control/shift and J. When it comes to temporarly stopping speach such as when the phone goes or someone talks to you or you want to listen to some music and don't want your screen reader to start chattering right in the middle then you can just mute the synthe and that saves the hassle of closing down Jaws and then the same when launching it. As I said, I use the Screenshot key for this purpose as it is a key I never use so when the phone goes or I want to listen to some music I just hit that key and it says "speech off" and then "speech on." If you already know this then sorry for being a pain. Walter.

Hi. That doesn't work for me, either on 13, 14 and now 15. I've had to creat my own hot key,in this case the Screenshot key.
