David,
I read your message and my heart started pumping as I felt you might have found the magical solution to my problem. I gave it a try but it didn't work at all. To be exact, I'm running jfw 8.0. I attached the hot key of control shift F11 to this script. I compiled just fine, but when I tried my new keyboard command nothing happened. That is, the jaws voice stayed the same regardless of the number of times I pressed the hotkey. I did read the documentation on this script and found that there was a reference to "say all," so naturally I tried the say all command with a large Word file, and I still didn't get any change in the volume. I will say that I was given the jaws message "volume increase" and "volume decrease" whenever I hit my hotkey, so I think there might be some possibilities. 

Any other suggestions, anyone, anyone?
I was given the following message after launching the default.jss file, then using control D to search for decreaseVolume: 

Script Not Found
DecreaseVoiceVolumeSayAll is located in the documentation file (jsd) but not in the script file (jss). Do you want to remove it from the documentation file? 
Yes No

There are two scripts in the default.jss file:
Increasevoicevolume and decreasevoicevolume

You could attach a keystroke to them to adjust your volume.

Cheers,
David

Hi all,
Sorry for the double posting, but I am going nuts with the jaws volume. I'm 
wondering if there is a way of somehow being able to turn down the jaws
voice without turning down the Windows system volume? That is, when
listening to any kind of audio, when one wants to raise the audio as in
music or a DVD, one must also deal with the jaws volume shredding one's
eardrums because the eloquence voice is so damn loud! Is there a programming 
fix or possibly even a scripting fix?

Matthew
