you don't need two sound cards. if your speaker settings are in your sys tray open the context menu and arrow to sound mixer. there you can adjust just the jaws volume. but be careful. if you turn it off you would have to use narrator or n v d a to go back to the mixer to turn the speech back on. -Original Message- From: Ted Larson Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 2:59 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] controlling only jaws volume Dear List: How do I permanently control only the jaws volume, but leave the volume at 100 percent for all other applications?

Re: [JAWS-Users] controlling only jaws volume
Evening, I am running Windows 10 Creators and JAWS 18. I quickly tried this and it worked here. In the system tray go to speakers and use the context key to open the menu of choices Select Volume mixer Note Simply pressing enter will get you volume mixer, however activating it with the enter key will not show sliders for JAWS or system sounds. When opened, you can tab between the sliders as you might move your hands on a physical mixing board. The first slider is labeled Speaker volume and JAWS focus will be on the title of that slider. Tab again and Jaws says Up, Down slider and speaks the percentage of volume as it is currently set. NOTE focus on all other sliders will announce the item that the slider will adjust. For example "Up Down slider for system sounds ". The up and down arrow keys will adjust the slider and JAWS speaks the percentage of volume. Tab again and you will land on the Mute button for that item. For example, Mute System sounds. Spacebar toggles between mute and unmute There should be a separate slider for system sounds and for JAWS . If other audio features are enabled you will find sliders for these as well. Escape leaves the Mixer but setting are automatically save. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary
It sounds to me as if much depends on the particular synthesizer one's using, so I'm not even sure they should be calling it the JAWS Dictionery! Also, capitalising syllables helps at times, spaces not always necessary in words. There's a county Kildare (but, using Eloquence, that should be pronounced KilDare), in Ireland. One synth I used makes a bad job of BBC when used with JAWS, nearly always emphasizing the second syllable. So then I had to change it to BBbe Sea. - (Actually, with that synth, Bebe Sea) for more comfortable listening. -Original Message- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 10:58 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary A two-part answer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary
In Spanish I do this by accentuating the vowel on the syllable that must be pronounced with a stronger tone. In Spanish this always works, because Spanish general accentuation rules are strict and well defined. In English this would seem harder because there are no accented vowels natively, but perhaps Eloquence might recognize the acute accent used in Spanish. Although English keyboard layouts have no key for the acute accent, you can switch to the US International keyboard layout (press ALT+SHIFT until JAWS says US International, except if you have removed this layout from your Windows regional and Language Options in Control Panel or the Windows 10 Settings app, but by default English Windows installations include this layout available to use) and easily insert the accented vowel you want by pressing AltGr+vowel. AltGr is the ALT key to the right of the SPACEBAR; in US layout this is identical to the left ALT key, but in most other keyboard layouts this key allows inserting special characters. Hope you can find a suitable dictionary rule! -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Audiobookfan Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 1:50 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary When trying to define the proper pronunciation for a word in the JAWS 18 dictionary, how does one indicate the syllable that should receive the accent?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trying to get firefox to download a form and feeling bemused
Hi! Since some versions ago, Firefox includes its own PDF viewer by default despite the possibility of using the Adobe's one if you want. As a result, when you open a PDF, you have to press the Download button to download it; this button is in the viewer's page, so you can quickly find it by pressing the JAWS quick key navigation b (for button); if the Download button does not appear, sometimes it is necessary to press the Tools button first. I prefer, however, to view the download dialog when activating a PDF link instead of a previous viewer. To do this in Firefox press ALT+T to open the Tools menu, select Options, and in the first list box choose Applications. Tab to the search box and type PDF, then press ENTER and tab to the result list. When you find the mimetype for PDF files, press TAB once more to go to a combo box where you can choose the Ask Me Always option and press ENTER. Exact options names may vary, because even in English Firefox is available in multiple variants (U.S., British, South African and perhaps Australian).

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary
A two-part answer. First, I just plugged "du luth" into the replacement field of my JAWS dictionary, and it pronounced the city's name correctly, at least for my synthesizer. Second, I've found no consistency in how the JAWS dictionary processes the emphasis of syllables. Finding a solution in each case depends on trial and error and experience. Even then, sometimes I can find no good solution. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of andy t Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 4:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary Hello how about this, dulUth I capitalized the second u .

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pronunciation dictionary
Hi Jeff. To accentuate a syllable, insert a dash or space before the syllable you want accentuated, which should work most of the time. Depending on the desired vowel sound, I've also had success with double vowels on the syllable I want accented in the pronunciation entry.

This is assuming (which I know shouldn't be done) that the section headings have a different formatting applied than other text in the document. In Word 2013 here is what I would do: Select one of the section heading's text. Use the selection button located under the home tab and at the right end of the lower part of the ribbon. In the submenu choose "text with similar formatting (no data)." Use the hotkey to change all selected text to a particular heading such as CTRL with Alt 1, CTRL with Alt and 2, etc. If Word 10 has the selection button and the section headings are formatted differently than other text in the document then this is likely the quickest way to apply the style you want to the original section headings. You could then sort by the applied Word headings to hopefully get the result you want. Take care.

Creating a heading looks almost too easy. Keeping in mind your point that for my dictionary-like organization to work, I should use only one heading level, I'm going with the obvious, control-alt-number row 1. I thought I'd need to select existing lines of text, but it seems I just have to position the cursor at the beginning of the line (or anywhere on the line?) for it to take effect. I could also initiate a heading by typing that key combo and proceeding with the heading text, but most are already in place. It will be a fair amount of clerical work, but now I can see my way forward. One thought. each of my would-be headings is preceded by a double return. Can you think of a search and replace operation that might accomplish what I want? Presumably, it would consist of ^6^6 in both fields, with an additional character in the replace field.

I say that because Jaws works just fine in Openbook, but no other programs. I have no idea how sleep settings would be configured in Widows 10, so a call to FS / VFO as Adrian suggested would get you your best answer. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. - Original Message - From: Adrian Spratt To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2017 8:27 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws takes a nap after fifteen seconds Ted, I see no one responded, which means everyone is as clueless as I on this one. Probably the best thing is to call FS/VFO tech support in the morning. This shouldn't happen, as if you need to be told. A JAWS repair might solve it, but it sounds like something more is going on. If you need repair instructions, please post again. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Ted Larson Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2017 2:24 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws takes a nap after fifteen seconds Dear List: I recently migrated from Window-eyes to the latest version of Jaws. I have a windows ten computer. No matter what application I am in, with the exception of Open Book, Jaws will start to nod off after fifteen seconds from when I last pressed a key. Thus, if I wait for fifteen seconds before pressing a key, Jaws takes a half second to respond. If I type the letter w, for example, I will only hear the final syllable. I tried using the Eloquence, Realspeak, and the sapi voices and different persons within them to see if the problem would go away. So, what next should I try? Thanks for any ideas.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using a G-Mail Account
Forward the messages to your primary account and delete them from GMail. I do that. There are settings for that in the GMail control panel. At 02:12 PM 8/13/2017, you wrote: Hello All, I need to manage a G-mail account that is not my primary personal account. Does anyone have any tips on how to navigate and use the web version of G-mail? I need to either have a draft message that I can use to send out to new contacts, or be able to forward the original message and edit out the FWD from the subject line and the old header info in the body of the message. I will be sending out over 150 of these messages as I receive contact info. If I have multiple to send out at once, I plan to put all of the addresses in the BCC line. I do use Outlook 2010 for my personal e-mail, so is there a way to access this other account with Outlook and not have the messages get mixed together?
