Howdy, Another way to hear what Jaws has said is using Speech History, explained below: Speech History
By default, JAWS retains a list of the last 50 announcements that were spoken by the speech synthesizer. For users of refreshable braille displays, JAWS has always provided a mode where you could review this spoken information in braille. When this mode is active, you can use the controls on the braille display to review the last 50 announcements that have been spoken by JAWS. Speech History extends this functionality to users who rely on using speech more than braille. If you miss one or more messages spoken by JAWS, you can press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by H to open a Results Viewer window containing up to the last 50 announcements spoken by the synthesizer. When the Speech History window opens, you are placed on the line containing the most recent announcement. To clear the history, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by SHIFT+H. The history is also cleared when you lock the computer or completely log off. If you do not want JAWS to keep a history of what is spoken, do the following: 1.. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. 2.. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the default JAWS settings. 3.. In the Search edit box, type "speech history" without the quotes. 4.. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Enable Speech History in the filtered search results in the tree view. 5.. Press SPACEBAR to clear this check box. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

In Windows 7, press the Windows Key and type ease into the search box. Then press Enter on Ease of Access Center. When the Ease of Access Center appears, tab over to the Use the Computer without a Display link and press Enter. Next, tab to the How long should Windows Notification Dialogs Stay Open combo Box and choose from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. Thirty seconds or 1 minute should be adequate. I wouldn't want those balloons hanging around too long; they might block access to other items on the screen. (Posted by frequent contributor Gary.) 2. Use the JAWS layered command JAWS key+spacebar, then (I think) shift-r. for related features, press JAWS key-spacebar, then ?. (I can't get JAWS to repeat the text in this dialog, or else I'd copy it here. I'd be happy if anyone could clarify.) 3. Press JAWS key+left mouse key twice quickly. This method has never worked for me, but it has been recommended by other JAWS users. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Hicks Steven (ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITALS NHS TRUST) Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2016 5:01 AM To: JAWS-Users-List@JAWS-Users.COM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Message Notifications Hi friends, Is there a way to repeat the last message notification from the system tray for example if you have missed it when JAWS announces it? ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
