Hello all,
Jonathan Lazar needs some information for an article that he is writing.
Jonathan goes out of his way to help us whenever he can. For instance, he
drove from Philadelphia to testify on our procurement bill. Please help him
by sending an email to jlazar at towson.edu <mailto:jlazar at towson.edu> . Tell
Jonathan what screen reader you use, and what speed you set it on to listen
to your information. Please do it ASAP, but before Monday, March 12.
If you are sitting on the fence deciding whether to come to basket bingo,
jump off and come! We have a few tickets left. If you want a ticket call
410-715-9596 quickly.
New information s coming out about the Maryland ABLE program all the time.
To keep up with the latest news, such as tax deductions and other
incentives, go to
https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MD529/bulletins/1d7073f.
Sharon Maneki, President
National Federation of the Blind of Maryland
410-715-9596
The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

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!

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.

Thanks Lloyd!
I want to help out as much as possible with the hearings! Even if I don't

we are not giving up.

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.
