Using a color scheme, I can get JAWS to verbally announce colors including the background color as text, but I cannot see an option to get JAWS to use a different voice whenever it encounters a gray background. For our purposes, we need a different voice activating whenever a background shading is encountered in order to alert the reader that text has been added. Thanks for the effort to help.

It would notify you when the color changed from something like black on white to black on gray. I hope this helps.

The counselor must be able to tell immediately when these effects are in effect as JAWS reads the text. I found the strikethrough effect in the Sounds Manager, but the only shaded effect I can find is on the Misc tab- and I could not get it to speak with a different voice. I hope someone can help.
