Dave,
 
I agree that problems like this should be brought to FS's attention, and the
more who do so, the merrier. But I shy away from your notion of paranoia.
People driving cars are urged to take a rest every two hundred miles. Hot
showers may go cold after an hour. Plants need to be watered every day in
the summer. So recharging JAWS once in a while isn't such bizarre behavior.
Now that I'm in the habit of shutting it down from time to time while I go
put on the kettle or make a call, it's become part of the day's rhythm. I
estimate I do so twice a day and Outlook 2003 once a day.

Roger,
 
If you're using JAWS 12 then Insert+Spacebar, then release and press the
letter s. You will hear "speech off".
 
Repeat the keystroke to turn it back on.

When I tried recording, the JAWS voice was in the file. Can I mute the JAWS
easily?

No, you don't need 2 sound cards. I can offer you 2 clues in order to
resolve your problem: 1- Are you using a headphone? or the Jaws sound
outputs via the loud speakers. In the latter it is trivial that any sound in
the environment, including Jaws, is recorded via the mic. Otherwise: 2- Go
to the control panel > sounds and audio devices. Then control tab to the
Audio tab. Tab until you reach the sound recording volume button. There you
can manipulate which devices contribute to your recordings. This is for XP.
There must be something similar for Vista and seven also.

I have a built-in microphone on my Hp Pavilion Laptop.
 
A guy, I know, help me boost the volume, but when I record, the JAWS voice
is in the recording. Do I need two sound cards, or how can I solve the
problem?
