[Md-sligo] Help Needed and an Announcement

Wed Mar 7 03:01:46 UTC 2018

Lloyd,

I am finding with newer versions of JAWS the numbering is different. In
prior versions, the default started at about 52 percent and I would set it
at 80 or so. Now with the latest versions, if I put the rate up at 80, I
cannot understand a word JAWS is saying.

To adjust JAWS speech rate on the fly, not saving the change, use
shift-ctrl-PgUp and shift-ctrl-PgDN. If you want to save the new speed for
all programs and between sessions, add the Windows key to that combination.

To get a numerical reading (which probably isn't a very accurate number of
words per minute or percentage of baseline speed) you go to the JAWS control
panel, cursor to Options, then find, I think, voice adjustment. In that
dialog is a speed setting. I am using mostly Window-Eyes at home and JAWS at
work.

Sharon,

I am not a geek.  Can someone tell me where I can find the setting on my
JAWS or PC.  I am sure there are probably others that are clueless and my
not do this because they can't immediately find the information.  So
instructions would be helpful.

Thanks in Advance,
Lets get our bills passed!
