From your application, do the following:

 

1.       Hit Jaws key +f2 and scroll down till you hear Configuration
manager.  Hit enter.

2.       From the configuration manager once you are in the
application-specific dot jcf file, hit alt+u for the user options menu.

3.       Arrow down to Speech and sounds Manager and select it.

4.       Hit home to take you to the top of the list.  The third, fourth and
fifth options on the list are where you want to be.  You can have Jaws read
attributes only, attributes and fonts, or attributes fonts and colors.  You
can hit the tab key on each one and you'll go into a read-only field where
you can hear or read a description oof how Jaws handles it.

5.        Hit the one you want and close the configuration manager making
sure to save your changes.

 

You should be in business now.

Hope that helps,

Alex

Hi all,

 

How can I make JAWS announce attributes, for instance to say "bold" or
"italic" instead of using a different voice for different attributes?

 

Cheers,

Gezim
