Sorry about the slight glitch in my last post to you. My keyboard sometimes switches to French Canadian and after I returned it to U.S. English a bit of junk got inserted into my message. First time for this one but then, with speech, the unexpected often happens.

Subject: RE: speech stops Jaws is a huge program these days and requires a lot of processing capacity--at least 4 gig of CPU memory and preferably 6 gig. Your netbook may have sufficient processing capacity. Also, in many cases there is a memory leak when running Jaws so you might try unloading Jaws and reloading again, or even shutting your computer down entirely and rebooting. A -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Belso, do not leave your computer on when you are not using it as some processes run even when not using your computer if left on and memory leak may occur during this time. As to whether or to leave a computer on between uses, opinion is divided. Personally, unless I plan to use my computer within 2 or 3 hours, I always turn it off. I have a working desktop that'S over 10 years old and this windows 7 laptop is 5 years old. Finally, you may wish to try a much lighter speech program such as NVDA. This program requires much less memory. It does not have the functionality of Jaws but for emails and net serfing, it is excellent. It is free. Simply google NVDA, click on their site then the download link. It is well documented and easily learned and easy to use. half Of Barbara Corner via Jfw Sent: August-03-14 1:58 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: speech stops When I am using my netbook with JAWS 14 speech stops and after a few minutes it comes back and then stops again. Any ideas why this is happening? It is very frustrating! It happens with Office 2010, HJ Pad, notepad etc. Bar _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
