Hi,
I believe that you can listen to your hotkey chois by tabbing a full
circle after you hit your key of choice. It will than read it when you get
to the hotkey item and just tab again to the OK button and hit enter.

Ariane,
You do not need to wait for your instructer to create a hotkey for your
volume control.
1. Navigate to the icon of the volume control. This would probably be in
programs>accessories>entertainment.
2. Right click that icon by saying "right click" or by hitting the right
windows key.
3. Tab or use the "next control" command to navigate the control that says
something like "short cut key".
4. Hit the key combination of choice. I hit ctrl+alt+l.
5. Tab or use the "next control" or "move forward x controls" commands to
the "ok" button.
6. Activate that button.
Note:
It is going to be difficult reading the key combination you have assigned to
the volume control from within the short cut key combobox since your up
arrow key that you hit to read the line may be trapped as the next hotkey so
just hit the key combination of choice and see if it works. You could always
use the "speak dialog box" command to review the complete dialog box.
Let us know what happens.
Pranav

Thank you , I do have an attached special keyboard that may have a button
that accidentally mutes my microphone located too close to the pause key.
I'm waiting for someone to see if they can find it.
I have no idea how to create a hotkey for a volume control, I will try to
contact my instructor who is presently on vacation. Regards, Ariane

I don't know of a volume up/down or mute keystroke, but occasionally
when pushing my keyboard it's drawer the mute button is pushed. Besides
multi-media keyboards, sometimes the monitor has mute buttons as well, so I
would see if anything is accidentally hitting either of those.
Otherwise I get around waiting for sighted assistance by making a
hot key which goes directly into volume control. That way all you have to
know is to push the keystroke you assign, and tab twice, followed by space
to uncheck it. all the other checkboxes are every third push of tab.

Subject: [j-say list] accidental sound shut off
Hello all,
for the last few weeks, my sound has abruptly cut off, three times.
Not just jaws speaking, but all sound including chimes etc. even when the
computer is rebooted, which does not resolve the problem.
I have had to ask someone fully sighted to locate an icon on my
taskbar to un mute the sound with a mouse.
Big question-is there a combination of key strokes that I
accidentally used by mistake to mute the sound?
I have been using JSay6 and Dragon (2008 releases) and this is
happened only a few times in a year or more but lately three times in two
weeks.
I rarely use the control keys or tab keys because I am clumsy using
them, and mostly use voice commands but now I am fearful of touching the
keyboard and accidentally shutting off the sound again.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks,Ariane
