Negoslav:
The information you included in your message works in the same way as the
last function under the "Adjust JAWS Options menu, Keystroke JAWS/INSERT+V.
The problem is that when you use either of these methods, JAWS will start
speaking again, as soon as a scheduled or system event starts and a new window
is opened, even if the window is open for a split second. This is because the
application in which you muted the synthesizer lost focus. This would also be
the case, even if focus was returned to the application in which you had muted
the synthesizer.
The only way to make sure that JAWS does not speak at all, is to switch to
the "No Speech Synthesizer".
You do this by pressing JAWS/INSERT+S, followed by the letter N, for the No
Speech synthesizer, followed by pressing the ENTER key. JAWS will not speak,
regardless as to any system or scheduled events that might be going on.
You turn on the synthesizer by pressing JAWS/INSERT+S, followed by the
letter E, for Eloquence, the letter S, for SAPI, followed by pressing the ENTER
key.
HTH
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Here's some info from
http://www.jaws-users.com/text/JAWS/KeystrokeToMuteJAWS.html
Assigning A Keystroke To Mute JAWS
1. Bring up your keyboard manager with insert+8 on the number row.
2. Make sure you are focused on the default file.
3. Tab once in to the list of available functions.
4. Then start typing mute until you hear mute synthesizer, which will
have no keystroke, assigned.
5. Press control A and give it what ever keystroke your heart desires.
6. Save your changes when you close out the keyboard manager.
Note that this is a toggle kind of thing, and that JAWS will only remain
muted so long as you're focused on the current Window.

Hi,
No, I think I remember that there is a key which will toggle the speech
on and off. I do not want to quit JAWS and I am aware of the cntrl key with
will (in theory) cause JAWS to cease speaking the current text.
I simply want to silence JAWS until I want it to speak again.
