Hello, I'm new here, but hope to answer this question. 1. Press insert+6 from the numbers row to go to the configuration manager. 2. Press ctrl+shift+d to load the default jaws configuration file. 3. alt+s for settings menu and s for synthesizer options. 4. There you choose from the list the one you want to be your default and press enter. 5. ctrl+s to save the changes and alt+f4 to close the configuration manager. The next time you load jaws or restart your pc, you will hear your choice speaking.

Now I want to change my default synthesizer from Eloquents to Microsoft sappy engine. How do I change the default synthesizer.
