Claudia, if you go into Jaws Help, you'll find a book entitled "keystrokes" and inside that, a book called "JAWS Keystrokes", with about a dozen categories listed below that.


Third item down in that book is "change voice rate on the fly". Press ENTER on that and then F6, and you'll be able to read the following:

Change Voice Rate on the Fly

JAWS now allows you to temporarily change the speech rate for the current voice. This can be done at any time - even while using Say All!

When not using SayAll:

Description

Command

Decrease Voice Rate

ALT+CTRL+PAGE DOWN

Increase Voice Rate

ALT+CTRL+PAGE UP

Note: JAWS states "slower" or "faster" with each press of the above keystrokes.

During a SayAll:

Description

Command

Decrease Voice Rate

PAGE DOWN

Increase Voice Rate

PAGE UP

To restore voice settings to their normal rate, press INSERT+ESC. Switching to another application also restores the default voice rate.
