The situation I run into more often is wanting JAWS to go away temporarily
while my family helps me with something that isn't working. They can't get
into edit boxes, or navigate as they are used to even if the speech in
turned down. Of course, there is always the option of turning JAWS off
completely, and then back on when I need it again. I was just wondering if
there is any other option. I don't suppose that sleep mode makes it
possible for a sighted person to use the computer as they are used to?
Thanks, Bonnie

Jim, here are copies of replies to this question concerning an earlier
version of JAWS that I kept for future reference. See if they apply to JAWS
11.
sleep mode instructions
Query. Have Jaws 9 and need to put Jaws a sleep for an audio game I'm
playing but I did this ages ago and cannot remember the instructions to do
so, can anyone here help me please?
Tom Lang, the permanent method. 1. Start the audio game. 2. Press insert
plus the 6 key on the number row, not the numeric pad. This takes you
straight into configuration manager. 3. JAWS may want to create a new
configuration file whose name corresponds to that of the audio game's
executable. Go ahead and do that. 4. Press alt+s to open the Set Options
menu. 5. Open Advanced Options. 6. The first thing you'll land on is a
checkbox called "enable sleep mode". Check that by pressing the space bar,
then press enter. 7. Press ctrl+s to save the configuration file, then press
alt+f4 to exit configuration manager. No more double-speech. JAWS should go
into sleep mode every time you start the game.
Dave Durber, the temporary method. Press INSERT+CTRL+S to open the "Select a
Synthesizer" dialog. Press the letter "N" to select the "No Speech
Synthesizer". Press ENTER to accept your choice and close the dialog. You
can now play your game without JAWS speaking. When you want to have JAWS
speak again, Press INSERT+CTRL+S to open the "select a Synthesizer" dialog.
Press the Letter "E" to select Eloquence, if that is the synthesizer you
want to use. Press ENTER to accept your choice and close the dialog. After a
few seconds you will hear JAWS speak again.
