Narrator can be started quickly when Jaws stops talking for some reason.
Simply create a shortcut on the Desktop for Narrator,
that can be launched from the desktop or via a shortcut key.
The file path to Narrator in Windows XP, Vista and 7 is as follows:

C:\Windows\System32\Narrator.exe

I suspect the file path is the same in Windows 8 & 10.

Once you have located the file, simply press the applications key
then select the "Send to" menu, and finally select Desktop create shortcut.
This will place a shortcut on the desktop, and you can assign a keystroke 
from the properties of the shortcut.
Alternatively, you can de-select all items on the desktop, by pressing the 
combination of the spacebar and the control key, and then press the 
applications key,
and select shortcut from the New sub-menu,and copy the above file path into 
the target field of the shortcut,
and then tab to the okay button and press the spacebar.
I haven't checked the jaws-users website, but it is possible that Dave 
already has a shortcut for Narrator there.

HTH,
Rick Justice

Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!
