Hi Steve,

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, unless I’m again missing something, these instructions appear to be out of date. But not to worry, issue is now solved with David’s advice.

Kind regards,

Amro

Hi Amro,

You can indeed do what you want, but it takes a little work.

See this article:-

https://www.nomensa.com/blog/2003/how-configure-jaws-voice-settings

It does talk about individual apps too.

All the best

Steve

Hi everyone,

Do I take it as a confirmation that this can’t be done from the lack of 
response?

And another question came to mind, does anyone know in what increments Jaws 
changes speech rate on the fly (Alt Control Page Up/Page Down)? The help 
documentation is silent on this point.

I’m copying below the original query if you’ve missed it.

Many thanks.

Amro

‘Is it possible to specify the Jaws reading speed based on the application in 
focus? For instance, this can be useful to choose a lower reading speed for 
Kindle or Adobe than the fast speed one normally uses for quick browsing and 
everyday tasks as it were. If I can change the speed for ‘Say all’ that would 
be an option as well.

I couldn’t find any settings to do this in ‘Settings Center’. I know this can 
be done using ‘Voice Profiles’, but this requires manual switching which is not 
ideal.

My main synth is Eloquence, and I use Jaws the latest version.

Any ideas? And if Jaws doesn’t have this feature, do you think it’s a good idea 
to have it?’
