Hi Dorothy,
If your PC is talking too much, it might be worth trying the following, that
is, if you haven't already.
If Jaws is speaking every character as you type, which interferes with the
flow of my typing rhythm, hold down the insert key then press the number two
on the top row until you hear Jaws say words. Now Jaws will only say a full
word when it detects that a word boundary has been reached. This is usually
when a space or some punctuation is typed.
There are three levels of verbosity available in Jaws, beginner,
intermediate and advanced. Jaws is usually set to beginner when first
installed. To change the verbosity temporarily, press insert+v and cursor
down to user verbosity. Now press the space bar until you hear the setting
you want then tab once and press enter on the close button.
Both of the settings I have mentioned will be temporary but, if you would
like to keep them, come back to the list and ask for details on how to make
the changes permanent.
I hope this helps,
Phil Medway.

With your machine that's talking too much...
Get the Jaws window on the screen, using alt+tab a few times.
Press alt to get the menu bar.
It should start on the options menu so push the down arrow until you get to
Voices...
(This will now vary a bit depending on your Jaws version.)
Find Global Adjustment On my version it's a sub-menu, so right arrow will
open it..
Press Enter.
Tab until you get a punctuation list box and down arrow to "some" or "none".
Press Enter to get out of the menus, cross your fingers, and see what
happens.

Jaws did a wobbly the laptop suddenly powers up withal whoosh. I went to
desktop but that is speaking toomuch of everything still, like Algerian
underline and other such stuff in outlook express.my volunteer did his
best.
you need a bit of peace from that's you are trying to arrow down. Also Word
is still saying left a lineout fact the print is all to the right of the
screen I do not know how a person without sight world know that ? It will
get sorted soon I hope. I was trying to saying last message that I am not
tilting at Windmills, I just want some clarification from the people who
make the product and out in the open not as before stated.. Steve Dryden who
knows egret an answer, well can try. Re the person with laptop. I can tell
you that key matters a lot. Try getting some one to read the Manual in
detail onto an audio tape getting used to it a bit at a time. I am cheating
using a full keyboard gradually trying out the laptop keyboard. If you are
on the move not easy to do this. I also wonder myself is getting the laptop
up off the table top may help any ideas? I thought that maybe so small
steel egg cups and the Ps mean the Function key important. a laptop on
it..Would the metal interfere with the signal? Thanks Dorothy. PPS bearing
in mind last weekend the List looked abandoned remember ,like the Marie
Celeste best to ask questions now.
