As far I understand, Chetan wants to silence keystrokes pressed by him. Chetan, if you find my understanding correct, follow the steps listed below. A word of caution before that: Caution: If you are not sure of the keystrokes you press, it is advisable to run with Typing Echo set to Characters or any option other than Off till the time you are not confident about the keys you press from the keyboard. Choose to turn Typing Echo Off only when you are well conversed about the keyboard layout and your finger movement on the keyboard. 1. Open JAWS by pressing INSERT+J. 2. Select Utilities > Configuration Manager. 3. Press ALT+S to open Set Options menu. 4. Select User Options from the Set Options menu to launch the User Options dialog box. 5. Press TAB (probably twice) to navigate to Typing Echo, which provides four radio buttons listed below. a. Off - JAWS stops announcing user inputs from the keyboard. b. Characters - JAWS speaks the letters input by the user. This is selected by default. c. Words - JAWS doesn't speak letters, but speaks a word formed by the letters when you press SPACEBAR or ENTER. d. Both Characters and Words - is a combination of characters and words. It means JAWS speaks the letters when input as well as the word formed by the letters when you press SPACEBAR or ENTER. 5. Use Up and Down arrow keys to locate the Off radio button. 6. Activate OK button to confirm selection and close the User Options dialog box. 7. Press CTRL+S to save changes to default.jcf. 8. Close Configuration Manager by pressing ALT+F4. Hope this helps......
