That tab tab business annoyed me, too. Here's how to get rid of those pesky announcements.
First, press insert-6 (on the number row) to bring up settings center. Then, press ctrl-shift-d (to bring up the default settings). You'll be in an edit box where you can search. Type l a b into the box and then press tab. You'll be on a list item that says "key labels". Press space on that, and you'll get a list of most of the keys that JAWS knows about. You can use first-letter navigation, so, type t and the first thing you'll hear is "tab, tab, speak". Press space on that, and it will change to mute. You can use up and down arrows to find any keys you want their labels changed. When you've made all the changes you want, tab to the OK button and press space on it. Next, tab over to the Apply button. Then, you can press alt-f4 to exit settings center. There's a demonstration of doing this on FSCast. The link is a little messed up on the FSCast page, but, I figured out what the problem was. Here's a direct link to the podcast. Listen for the JAWS byte on Key Labels. http://podcast.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/episodes/FSCast138-Software_Upda tes,Key_Labels,Eric_Damery_at_CSUN.mp3 Hope this helps, and, sorry for taking so long to get back. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim via Talk Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2017 4:07 PM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: where do I go? Hi there PEOPLE! Just got JAWs downloaded and installed. Question, Where do I go to turn off the tab announce, the up/down announce and the space announce? Also, is there mouse keys that I can read the screen with? How do I go about reading the screen using JAWs? And finally, how do I set it to say the words after typing them instead of speaking each letter?
