Christine, I use a braille display with the speech turned off. I have activated
all the sound possibilities with the Windows sound manager, but I don't have a
window title change alert.

no, just the open program in the control panel which would let you know when
a program was opening. I just wanted mine to work when I alt tab through
because we have two applications with similar names which I could easily
confuse while listening to someone on the phone. We are rated on our handle
time so anything that can be done to speed the process up is good. I also
assigned sounds to the check box unchecked and checked through speech and
sounds manager.
I had this idea back when jaws 3.5 was out about using different voices
and sounds. I was so excited when they came out with the feature. The funny
thing is, I don't know anyone else personally who uses it.

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?
