Hi: There is, indeed, a way to do what you ask, if I understand correctly.
There is an undefined hotkey called “Toggle All Voices” which you can define. Once you define this key, it will disable speech with one press and re-enable speech with another press. To set this up, first, open the Window-Eyes control panel by pressing Control-Backslash. Then, press alt-h for the help menu and make sure the “show advanced options” item is checked. If it isn’t select it and it will be checked. Next, in the tree view in the window-eyes control panel, use your up or down arrow and navigate to the Hotkeys item. If it is closed (it usually is if you never used it), press right-arrow to open it. Press down arrow until you hear Miscellaneous. Then, press Tab. This will put you in a list of the hotkeys and what they do. You can then type part of the key command you are looking for, or just arrow down to it. The hotkey is called “Toggle All Voices (global)”. There are 2 keys to toggle the synthesizer. One works in the program you are using, and the other toggles speech for everything. When you find the “Toggle All Voices (global)” hotkey, tab over to the “Capture Key” button and press space on it. You can then type a key combination you want to use to mute the synthesizer. Once you type the key combination you want to use, tab over to the Save Settings button and press space on it. Hope this helps.
