Kyle,
thanks for the input. As I said, I'll want someone who can see the screen
dclearly to tell me whether those words actually appear or not. if they don't,
then I'll ask someone who understands programming to explain how it is that you
could change it using the Jaws dictionary, which I assumed was never speaking
anything it didn't find on the screen. BTW, I use Jaws 10 also, and I haven't
tried to fool around with this because I'm only curious about the topic, not
bothered by the announcement.

could it be that these words are spoken directly from the programming of
Jaws, and it isn't reading them off the screen? if so, that might account for
not being able to modify or eliminate the announcement. Although of course a
couple of people have said they'd been able to do it, using the jaws
dictionary. I've never asked a sighted friend to tell me if those words
actually come up visibly on the screen when jaws launches, but now I'll try to
remember to do so.
Just a thought.

Let's all keep in mind that you need to be changing the default dictionary.
Any other dictionary will not work.
After you open the dictionary, make sure you're editing the default
dictionary by pressing Ctrl+Shift+D. You'll hear
"default.jdf - jaws dictionary manager"
Then do the edits suggested.

Hi Dianna,
I'm sorry this didn't work for you. I did this earlier in the week and
had no problem. Here is exactly what I did.
In JAWS, I opened the JAWS dictionary.
I tabbed to "add an entry.
In the field for the word or phrase, I typed "JAWS for windows is ready"
without the quotation marks.
I tabbed once to the next field and entered the message I wanted to hear
on JAWS start up.
Then I tabbed to "ok".
When I closed the menu, I answered yes to the "save changes to default
prompt".
As others have said, you can add a sound to your message, but I just kept
it simple.
HTH
Blessings.
Lynn I

This has been covered already, but I'll repeat it anyway. The
easiest way to change the JAWS start-up message is to use the Dicttionary
Manager. Follow these steps:
1. Go to the JAWS Utilities menu and select Dictionary Manager.
2. Hit Space on the Add... dialog to select the Add Dictionary
Definition dialog.
3. In the Actual Word field, type "jaws for windows is ready."
exactly as it appears in quotes.
4. In the Replacement Word field, type the phrase you would like to
hear instead. For example, you could type in something like, "Hurray!! JAWS 10
is good to go!!".
5. If you wish, you can also add a sound to play along with the
phrase by choosing a sound from the list of provided sounds.
6. Tab to Okay and hit Space.
7. Close the Dictionary Manager, and reply with Yes when prompted
to save changes. Now, whenever you turn on your computer or launch JAWS
manually, you will hear the new phrase you just created instead of "JAWS for
Windows is Ready".

Hi Stephen, I have instructions on changing how jaws
starts. When ever I get a new version I change the announcement to say what
version it is, the time, date and I have even added in a few other things. Like
Hello Shannon. I have the instructions on how to do this if you want I can send
them to you off list, just let me know.
