You can stop JAWS announcing the read-only status of edit fields if you
want to in the following manner.
1 Press insert+F2 and select "configuration manager".
2 Press alt+S and go down to "speech and sounds manager" and press
enter.
3 You should already be on the "classic" or whatever your preferred
schemee is. Press tab to reach the "edit current scheme" button and
press spacebar on it.
4 Now press control+tab to reach the "controls" page and then press
letter R until you reach "ReadOnly edit".
5 Press tab to reach the radio button that currently highlights
"speak" and use the arrow keys to adjust this to "off".
6 Tab to "OK" and then press tab until you reach the button "save
current scheme" and press spacebar.
7 Tab to "OK" and press spacebar and press alt+F4, if you are asked
to save changes to your configuration press enter on the "yes" button.
When you have done this a new file is created in your user settings
folder called "classic.SMF" or similar. The SMF denotes it is a JAWS
speech scheme. If it has the name "classic" then it is sure to be
picked up by any new installation of JAWS that you parachute it into
with your modification complete.
Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,
You need to do this in Speech and Sounds Manager under the
Configuration Manager. Whether you do it in the Default file and affect
all programs or make changes in individual apps is up to you. This is
what you do.
Enter Config Manager
Alt S to set options
Press M for the Speech and Sounds Manager and you will go
straight into it
Now tab three times I think to "edit current scheme" and press
the spacebar or enter key
Now go to the File types tab and the list view which you will
find there
Press the letter R twice and you will be on the Read Only item
Tab once then cursor up once and you will be on the "ignore"
checkbox which will be checked by simply moving to it
Ok that and save in the usual way
A bit long-winded but you should be able to work it out.
Regards
David

Hi all,
Can someone help please? I have Jaws 9.0 and X P Home
edition. Since i installed Jaws 9.0, jaws is saying read only in
various apps. such as in Outlook Express emails, and even in a Games For
The Blind game called Word Play, it still says read only.
How can I switch this annoying and irritating message
off please?
Thanks,
Michael Brown.
The kindness you spread today will be gathered up and
