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.

  Could you mean the control key?

    Hi,

    I can not recall the toggle to silence JAWS.

    Thanks,
