It is good that one can do this, but it's sad that JAWS, the program said to
be the anointed screen reader for all time, does not provide a way to adjust
the synthesizer volume. On another note, it seems that help with nmouse
movement and adjusting how many pixels the mouse moves with each key press
is difficult to find. Yet, since I really don't worry too muich about either
of these, I enjoy those things about Window-Eyes. Nontheless, I am learning
my way around JAWS and getting along well. As has been stated in previous
posts, there are merits and pitfalls with all screen readers.

Hi,
But you can, in Windows 10, adjust the volume of JAWS as a whole.
Go to System Tray, find your sound card and right click or press
applications key, then Open Volume Mixer. Now you will see a volume
specifically for JAWS. If you turn that down, it will turn Eloquence down.
All the best
Steve

This is only true with Eloquence.
If you are using Vocalizer or SAPI speech, you can adjust volume of the
speech.
To do this, press Insert-j for the JAWS window. In the options menu, select
Voices. Under that, select Voice Adjustment. You’ll be asked to select a
default voice profile. Once you select Sapi or Vocalizer profile, you will
find that there is now a control you can tab to in order to set the speech
volume.
Hope this helps.

Is it correct that volume cannot be adjusted and set within JAWS, but
instead only with the system volume or physical volume controls on the
computer? If it can be set within JAWS, how is this done?
Thanks in advance.

I think that the Word Nav app was inspired by a feature that was already in
JAWS. And you go in and out of its browse mode with insert-Z, which is the
same keystroke that is used with web browsers in JAWS.

All,
I will soon make the move to JAWS. The Wordnav app has provided very nice
functionality for navigating MS Word documents.
What are the JAWS commands, if any, closest to those in Wordnav for moving
through headings, tables and other document features?
Thanks in advance.

I talked to customer service about something related to your question and
they told me that zoomtext fusion 11 will be using JAWS for the screen
reader portion of fustion and that the upgrade from zoomtext fustion 10 to
11 is quite costly but not as expensive as getting magic with JAWS. This is
not a direct answer to your concern about ap central. It is what happens to
WE after WE goes away.

Reeva,
Good question. At this point we have no plans on taking down app central
but clearly at some point in the future will become irrelevant and go down.
I would hope as long as Window-Eyes can continued to be used it would be up
and if it does need to go down we would give people ample notice.
