Below are the instructions for making a sound for a link instead of saying, link. I followed these instructions but I did have some sighted help too. I think that the steps will do the trick for you. I had a problem where jaws said both the word, link, and played the tone. But after turning the computer off and restarting from scratch, it worked. It just plays the tone on a link.
Below are the instructions that I have. Good luck to anyone trying to do this. LeDon. 1. Press, Insert + 6, on the number row to open the Settings Center & press, control, shift, + D, to open default all applications. 2. Arrow down to, Speech & Sound Schemes & press right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Modify Schemes..., & press the spacebar to open. 4. Tab to, edit selected scheme button, & press the spacebar to open. 5. Control + tab to the control type tab & tab 1 time into the list of control types. 6. Use first letter navigation pressing the letter, L, until you have, Link Speak Control Type Using Normal Voice, highlighted & tab 1 time into the behavior list. 7. Arrow down so that, Play Sound, is checked. 8. Tab 1 time to the, select wave file button, & press the spacebar to open. 9. Tab 1 time into your list of sounds to choose from. Arrow down through this list & when you have a sound highlighted tab 1 time to the, play sound button, & press the spacebar to hear it. If you don't like this sound, shift + tab, back into the sound list & choose another sound & tab to the play button, pressing the spacebar to hear it. Keep doing this until you have the sound of choice you want played. 10. Now that you have your sound selected, tab to the okay button & press the spacebar. Again, tab to okay & press the spacebar. Tab 1 time & press the spacebar on the save selected scheme button. Tab to the okay button & press the spacebar, & tab to okay & press enter. You're done. Now, you'll hear the selected sound whenever you come across a link in any application. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gopi Bala Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2014 7:17 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] a word and a sound for a link LeDon, Can you pl. enlighten how did you go about replacing the "LINK" with a sound?

So I followed directions and selected the sound to replace the word link. It worked for a time. I got a sound when on a link. But now, for some reason, I now get the sound and the word, link, together. The only thing that I have changed is to use flexible web to skip advertisements and graphics. Do you think that that could have done it? Help! How can I fix this problem. LeDon.
