I did a repair of J-Say, but we still have no sound when the mic turns on. We have J-Say Sounds set to ENABLED. 


Any other suggestions?

I believe you run the J-Say installer, and when it sees that you have a copy

repair, or uninstall the product.

Can someone tell me how to run the repair of J-Say?  We couldn't get the
J-Say Config window to come up (He would say "Get Wizard" and it recognized
the command, but nothing happened).  It worked before but for some reason
wouldn't work this time.

Can't figure out what the J-Say key is to bring it up manually (it's not the
` key).  He's using a laptop.  Is there another way to bring it up?

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!
