Re: JAWS Software Synthesizer Volume

Tom Fairhurst via Talk Tue, 23 May 2017 07:58:58 -0700

It is good that one can do this, but it's sad that JAWS, the program said tobe the anointed screen reader for all time, does not provide a way to adjustthe synthesizer volume. On another note, it seems that help with nmousemovement and adjusting how many pixels the mouse moves with each key pressis difficult to find. Yet, since I really don't worry too muich about eitherof these, I enjoy those things about Window-Eyes. Nontheless, I am learningmy way around JAWS and getting along well. As has been stated in previousposts, 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 pressapplications key, then Open Volume Mixer. Now you will see a volumespecifically 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 thespeech.

To do this, press Insert-j for the JAWS window. In the options menu, selectVoices. Under that, select Voice Adjustment. You’ll be asked to select adefault voice profile. Once you select Sapi or Vocalizer profile, you willfind that there is now a control you can tab to in order to set the speechvolume.


Hope this helps.

Is it correct that volume cannot be adjusted and set within JAWS, butinstead only with the system volume or physical volume controls on thecomputer? 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 inJAWS. And you go in and out of its browse mode with insert-Z, which is thesame keystroke that is used with web browsers in JAWS.

All,

I will soon make the move to JAWS. The Wordnav app has provided very nicefunctionality for navigating MS Word documents.

What are the JAWS commands, if any, closest to those in Wordnav for movingthrough headings, tables and other document features?


Thanks in advance.

I talked to customer service about something related to your question andthey told me that zoomtext fusion 11 will be using JAWS for the screenreader portion of fustion and that the upgrade from zoomtext fustion 10 to11 is quite costly but not as expensive as getting magic with JAWS. This isnot a direct answer to your concern about ap central. It is what happens toWE after WE goes away.

Reeva,

Good question. At this point we have no plans on taking down app centralbut 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 upand if it does need to go down we would give people ample notice.
