When the jaws speech slows down, I just hit the jaws key to pause it where it is, and then hit the say all command again to continue the speech at it's normal pace. Not a cure but it works.

For example, in say all mode, if it is a long document, my Jaws voice will get lower in pitch as it gets closer to the bottom of the document or page. I think it might slow down a bit, too, though I don't remember for sure. And I do occasionally have Jaws speak briefly in a language other than English. In my case, these things happen so seldom that I just pass them off as glitches. Not sure if this helps, but thought I'd throw it out there.

All the above default settings have various pitch settings which will make things sound weird / different than what you're used to with your preferred settings. As far as Jaws changing languages, go into the Settings Center default all applications, arrow down to, Text Processing, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Detect Languages, uncheck this box, tab to, Okay, press enter to save the change & close. You can also turn the, Language Detect Change, option off in Jaws quick settings, Insert + V, for individual applications. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

If not, I wonder if it's related to the memory usage query that Aaron posted earlier. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2016 11:08 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws voice I have found at certain points when I use my computer, jaws voice changes. usually it is smooth and very understandable other points it is grumbly.I have also experienced jaws announceing text in another language and what is displayed on my computer screen is english because I’ve had a sighted person check. what’s going on with jaws, I’m using jaws 17 latest.
