Hi Jay, open up your default key board manager and once you get in to the list hit the letter "D". It should take you to a series of functions that I believe you are after. If at that point you want to assign a hot key to a function that currently doesn't have any just go in to the actions menu or just hit control + A. To arrive at the increase functions just hit "I". Page up or down during a say all will speed up or slow down speech respectively.

Hello All, I'm using JFW 5, the latest update on a Win XP Pro system with just over 1 gig of RAM on board. I'm running a Triple Talk synth connected to a USB port on this system and all works well. Is there any method of adjusting the rate and or the volume of the voice on the fly while in a particular program, but then not saving those newly adjusted settings? I realize that the Triple Talk has a manual volume control, but what I'm after is a key press or series of key strokes that will allow me to adjust the voice volume and the speech rate on the fly, but when the program in question is closed, or Jaws is restarted, my rate and volume settings will return to what they were before I made those temporary changes. I know JFW offers a temporary setting for pitch, but is there a similar function for volume and or rate? Hope I'm making sense with this question and hope someone has an answer. Many thanks for any suggestions.
