Lori- let me suggest that you run a repair install of JSay and it should
restore the .wav files for the mic status.
Regarding the less greater...this is the system processing sound when in the
sleep state. If this is a Win 7 laptop make sure that the 'onboard' mic has
been disabled (this is a known Win 7 bug whereby the onboard mic isn't muted
when an external mic is plugged in). In addition you may find that cycling the
mic to 'true off' and back using Shift + f11 minimizes this less greater issue.

Subject: [j-say list] Speaking contents of dictation box, etc.
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!
