Hi Kerryann, It looks like David has you covered on this one, if that works for you, let us know.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Changing Sythesisers
Here are the instructions I've saved for quite a number of years and now of course since it has been brought to my attention I will post them up on the site. I admit at first thinking that it was sort of silly but then realized they are very good for certain applications, directions follow. David Ferrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Compatibility: JFW3.3X or higher. It is as simple as adding a line in the AutoStartEvent, and the AutoFinishEvent functions. If you recall, when these functions are present within a script file, they get called when the associated application gets started, and when it is exited, respectively. If they aren't in the script file, it is very easy to add them yourself. With that in mind, we'll gear these instructions as if you found no AutoStartEvent or AutoFinishEvent functions in your script file; if they are there, then you can just focus on the instructions for adding the two "SetSynth()" statements. To get the correct synthesizer KeyName, take a look at your JFW.INI file with NotePad, or some other editor. That file is found in the folder JFW is installed in. 1) While in the application you want to associate the synthesizer switch with, hit Insert+0 to launch the Script Manager with that application's script file loaded for editing. if there is no script file for this program, the Script Manager will create a blank one. 2) To see if you already have an AutoStartEvent function, hit Control+L to bring up the list of scripts/functions in the current script file. It is sorted by name, so the "A" should be the first scripts you come to in this list. If you have an AutoStartEvent, highlight it and whack Enter. This will place you on that script's header line. Hit End and then Enter to place yourself on a blank line underneath that header line. 3) If you don't have an AutoStartEvent, hit Escape and we'll create one. a) Hit F2 to get to the first script in this file, (if there are any). b) If you land on that script, hit the UpArrow once to get on the line above that script. If there are no scripts, then you can just start with the next step. c) Type in, or cut and paste, the following lines: (Note: if you already had an AutoStartEvent, then just add the following SetSynth line below.) function AutoStartEvent() SetSynth("lt") ;Sets DoubleTalk-LT/LiteTalk as synthesizer. EndFunction This tells JFW that whenever this program is launched, the user wants their DoubleTalk-LT, or their LiteTalk, to be used as their synthesizer. ***Important: if you don't have the external synthesizer turned on at this point, you'll probably hang the system, requiring a reboot. This is because you'll be trying to access a serial device that, (as far as the system is concerned), isn't there. This is not a bug in either the synthesizer or screen reader, but rather a User Error--and those are the easiest errors to fix!) 4) Hit Control+S to compile what we have so far. If successful, go to the next step. 5) Hit Control+L again to locate the AutoFinishEvent. If you have one, highlight it and hit Enter, then arrow down to a line underneath the variable declarations and hit End, then Enter to create a blank line. 6) If you don't have one, hit Escape to exit the script list and hit Control+End to reach the bottom of the file. Hit Enter a couple of times to give yourself some room. 7) Type in, or cut and paste, the following: function AutoFinishEvent() SetSynth("dtsoft") ;Sets synthesizer back to Access32 EndFunction 8) Compile with Control+S. Hit Alt+F4 to exit the Script editor and see what response you get when loading and unloading this application! * Now here's an example of what I used in the past to switch quickly from Eloquence and my DEC talk express *** void function AutoStartEvent() SetSynth("dte") EndFunction void function AutoFinishEvent() SetSynth("eloq") EndFunction - Original Message - From: "KERRYANN IFILL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 9:52 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Changing Sythesisers Hi David, I'm using eloquence and realspeak synthesisers.

No, that wouldn't be possible, but it is easy enough to change your synsethizer once you get into a different application by doing a insert control s. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of KERRYANN IFILL Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 8:16 AM To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Changing Sythesisers Hi List, Is it possible to assign different synthesisers to specific applications?

Yes it is, that's probably something that isn't up on the site that should be. Let me take a look at the question. What synthesizers do you have already?

[JAWS-Users] Re: Changing Sythesisers
Hi Kerryann, Yes, but it looks like it will require a script. I have a script here for that, but I haven't tested it with Jaws 8 yet.
