Hi,
1. To change keyboard echo, from the application, press JAWS Key+2. To make
it a global one, go to JAWS window (JAWS Key+J), then go to
Utilities/Configuration Manager. You should land at the config manager for
that particular program or a default file. Then go to Set Options/User
Options. From there go to Typing Echo and change it to characters. Press
ENTER, then to save changes, press CTRL+S.
2. To change speech rate from all applications, go to JAWS window (JAWS
key+J), then go to Options/Voice/Voice Adjustments. You should see a profile
list of speech settings. Then go to Rate spin box and use UP ARROW to
increase speech rate. At some point you'll be asked to save changes. If this
happens, go to Save As button, then choose Eloquence as the profile name.
Cheers,
Joseph (JFW11 on Win7 Pro 32-bit).

Subject: A few basic Jaws set-up questions
Hi, all.
I am setting up Jaws 11 on a new work computer, and have a few issues that
I've never encountered before.
I know these are very basic, so please excuse my brain lapses here (grin):
1. I have noticed that, in Microsoft Word, and all other applications, Jaws
does not speak the keys when I type something. I like to have this feature,
so I can double-check myself as I prepare a document, spreadsheet, or e-mail
message. How do I turn the key speak function on?
2. I have made uniform reading speed adjustments to the PC cursor voice,
Jaws cursor voice, the keyboard voice, the menu and dialog voice, and the
message and tutorial voice, but still, when I alt-tab to an application, the
application message reads very slowly. What changes do I make to cause the
application announcement to read at the same speed as all the other voices?
Thanks for any help that can be provided here.
Sincerely,
Tom Behler in Michigan
