The young man I am currently help with J-Say/JAWS is a boy I worked with when he was in high school. At the time, we had JAWS/J-Say, etc. all set up perfectly .... unfortunately when he got a new laptop and new version of JAWS, his settings weren't transferred I don't think. His voice profile was transferred though.


Prior, we had it set that when he said "Wake up", there would be a "dong!" sound to let him know it had responded. We have it set to echo his commands, but to be sure, he still has to say "Check microphone". Does anyone know how to set it so it makes a sound when awakening or going to sleep? We have J-Say sounds enabled.

Secondly, it keeps saying "less than, greater" when he isn't dictating but the microphone is on (it's speaking what is showing in the dictation box). That's very distracting and annoying when he's trying to think about what to type. It didn't do that before. How do we change that? We have "echo commands" on, which is very helpful to him, and we had that previously, but didn't have it saying "less than, greater" every second over and over.

Thanks for any help!
