Hi, I am not Amar but look at the say all options in the settings manager in jaws. You can set say all to pause after each line.

Subject: Re: [AI] Managing information overload / Reading faster with Jaws Hi Amar Ji, please instruct me how to pause reading for a few seconds between lines or sentences like you said you do. I Braille text books using a perkins brailler and would like to have JAWS pause for a few seconds so that I could complete writing of a sentence. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Amar Jain Sent: Monday, May 26, 2014 3:04 AM To: accessindia Subject: Re: [AI] Managing information overload / Reading faster with Jaws Shadab Bhaiya, I am using Jaws at 80 to 85% rate with low volume and headphone to deal with such urgencies. However, if I have time, then I do not mind slowing down to 75%. Ignore the email totally if you have crossed this limit already. I don't know how well these tips would match in your situation, but for quicker reading of my legal documents, I adopt following tips: 1. I use that feature of Jaws wherein you can instruct the Jaws to use pause after a line. This way, even if my speed is increased and the word flow is tremendous, with those extra little pauses, I get certain seconds to adjust the Jaws vs brain battle. 2. If I know that I am looking for particular things in a document, then I use either the Jaws Scheme feature with Sound alerts on, or the skim reading feature, so that the figuring out process is more faster and smoother. 3. If the matter is such wherein every word requires care, then I slow down to 65% roughly to avoid mistakes. 4. I use the quick key navigation or the say all feature of Jaws in Word to read by paragraphs. So that the key presses are lesser as against the traditional way of reading. 5. Constant reading requires break of few seconds in the middle. Or it can be adjusted by those blanks in the document if the drafting of the document is in your hand. Of course, remove them when it is to be sent out to the prospective reader. Enough it is, first see if it matches your situation, then we can continue. And party, there is a whole lot of that which is pending including bhabhi ke haath ka khana. So lets discuss that offline. Regards -- Amar Jain.
