Christine,
Wrote too soon. Apparently I can't get the sound to work when launching the
application. Only seems to work when entering it with Alt+Tab or landing on it
in the task bar.
Do you know how to make it sound when launching?

thanks,
I found a copy of my default dictionary. The funny thing is I called freedom
scientific tech support and per the cr there, what I was trying was impossible.
I still don't remember how I selected the title to add it to the dictionary.
Oh well... I'm backing my settings up multiple places.
thanks for your help.

Christine,
Earlier you asked about having a sound when you open windows in general,
and the sounds and audio properties (Win XP) is the correct place to do this.
Now you have added this condition that you want a sound to play when a
particular title shows up on the screen when focused.
I think you need to do the following:
1. First make sure that your verbosity is set to announce application
titles when they open. This is configuration manager in the default
configuration, verbosity settings, and adjusting that particular level of
verbosity.
2. Then you should open the dictionary manager, for the default dictionary,
and in the "add" field enter the exact title of your application window. Then
in the "replacement word" field enter whatever you want. Then tab to the sounds
button and assign a sound. Save and save and save.
I've never done this myself, but it seems that it should work.
Good luck.
Dave

hi,
I'm trying to assign a sound to the title of a window so I can easily
tell which window I'm on when alt tabbing. This is important because in one
application the f2 key retreaves information but on my phone application it
hangs up the phone.
I accomplished this with the jaws dictionary manager, but I don't
remember how I was able to properly assign it.
thanks,

Hi Christine;
To assign a sound to a job / task you have to go into the control panel
/ sounds & audio devices / sounds page. Take care.

hi,
At work I had sounds set so that when I switch from one
application to another jaws would play a sound. My system totaly reset itself
and I don't remember how I did this. I am using jfw 7.0 (only at work) I've
tried selecting the title and adding it to the dictionary. This doesn't seem
to work. Can anyone refresh my memory?
