I really hope to find a way to change the volume of JAWS WITH KEYSTROKES. Especially when I listen to music with WinAmp I like to ajust the volume of the screen reader.

In current JAWS versions there is no Volume slider when setting a voice profile with Eloquence, unlike with other synths like SAPI 5 or any Vocalizer variant. As I remember from older JAWS versions, this control when using Eloquence was simply a read-only edit box which said “Use your system's volume.” Thanks in advance! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of net bat66 Sent: Monday, April 16, 2018 3:07 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changeing JAWS' volume forwarded from mike bee on the main jaws list. 1. Open Keyboard Manager without any applications / programs open to make sure you land on, Default, when you open Keyboard Manager. Do this by pressing, Jaws key + F2, press the letter, K, until you have Keyboard Manager highlighted, & press enter. If you don't have, Default, highlighted when opening the keyboard manager press the letter, D, until you do. 2. Find the following to assign keystrokes to them: DecreaseVoiceVolume, None Decrease system volume, None IncreaseVoiceVolume, None Increase system Volume, None *Note: None, means that there is not a keystroke assigned to these functions / tasks. 3. On each of these functions / tasks press, Control + h, to open an edit field to insert the keystroke you would like to use for this particular function / task. *Note: Make sure not to press any other keys other than the keystroke you want! 4. After entering your desired keystroke tab one time, and there's a checkbox for assigning this keystroke to desktop keys only, usually people will uncheck this. 5. Tab to, Okay, Press ENTER, and choose OK in the confirmation dialog which appears. 6. You'll be returned to the list view of scripts. Use the same steps with the other functions / tasks listed above. 7. Close Keyboard Manager with, Alt + F4. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.

All you have to do both in Windows 7 or Windows 10 is bring up either the run command with Windows Key+R or simply the search box with the Windows key. Now type sndvol and press enter and bingo, you are on the volume control. I have read you can add a -f flag, e.g. sndvol -f to bring u p the master volume directly but I found that even just sndvol will do this. Here is the Jaws speech history as to what this sounds like, first without and then with the -f switch, I am using just the Windows key/Cortana search box and not the run command, note that the Jaws speech history gives you the result after you type every letter of “sndvol”, if you type it fast you never hear most of that, but I left it in just to show it: Cortana S, Search box edit Sn, Snipping Tool, Desktop app snd, See web results, Press right to open preview sndv, See web results, Press right to open preview sndvo, See web results, Press right to open preview sndvol, Run command – this is where I pressed enter Volume Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog Speakers Speakers up down slider 83 – I am now pressing the down arrow several times and again the up arrow 82 percent 81 percent 80 percent 81 percent 82 percent 83 percent Now here is what it sounds like with the -f switch added after SndVol, I left out all the suggestions which come up after each letter and go straight to the final one: Cortana sndvol -f, Run command dialog up down slider 83 82 percent 81 percent Only difference seems to be that adding the -f switch doesn’t verbalize Volume Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog, Speakers, Speakers and instead it says right away the volume percentage. You could of course create a shortcut with “sndvol” or “sndvol -f” but I personally find pressing the Windows key and typing sndvol is just about as fast as pressing Control+Alt+V or whatever shortcut you would assign the shortcut.. I guess another thing you can do is create the volume shortcut and put it on the taskbar, if you had it at the very left then pressing Windows Key+1 would do the trick as well. I just tried it using SndVol -f for the shortcut which I called “Volume”, then I pinned it to the taskbar and dragged it to the first position and when I pressed Windows+1 Jaws instantly says “Dialogue, up down slider, 81”.
