Kerri:
Follow the steps below to permanently turn off speech in JAWS.
1. Press INSERT/JAWS KEY+6, (the number 6 above the letters). This opens the
Configuration Manager.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the "default.jcf" (Default JAWS Configuration
file.
3. Press ALT+S to open the "Settings" Menu.
4. Press the letter "S" to open the "Synthesizer" dialog box.
5. Press the letter "N" to select the "No Speech" synthesizer option.
6. Press ENTER to accept your choice. This will also close the Synthesizer
dialog box and Settings Menu and will return you to the open screen of the
Configuration Manager.
7. Press CTRL+S to save the change you made to the "default.jcf" file.
8. Press ALT+F4 to close the Configuration Manager.
9. Press INSERT/JAWS KEY+F4 to close JAWS and press ENTER on the OK button to
confirm that you really want to close and unload the JAWS program.
10. If you only have one version of JAWS installed on your computer, press
WINDOWS KEY+M, which minimizes all applications and gives focus to the Desktop.
11. Press the letter "J" to highlight JAWS and press ENTER to launch the
program.
12. If you have one or, more than one, version of JAWS installed on your
computer, press WINDOWS KEY+R to open the "Run" dialog box.
13. Type, "JAWSXX". Replace "xx" with the version number you are using,
without the quotes and with no spaces. Press ENTER to start JAWS with no
speech. If I am correct, you have been able to do this since JAWS Version 6.
The advantage in using steps 12 and 13, is that they can be used anywhere
within Windows or within any application.
To have JAWS start with speech, follow the steps above, making the appropriate
change in step 5.
