Hi Gudrun,
 
Use the file path below to get to the sounds:
 
C:\ProgramData \ Freedom Scientific \ JAWS \ JawsVersionNumber \ SETTINGS \ enu \ SOUNDS

I know. I've worked in JAWS 16 with the speech and sound schemes manager, but I found it painstaking, and it didn't seem to work right away. I made many adjustments in Word to indicate different attributes to speed up proofreading, but it took considerable tweaking and redoing.

I have not found the sounds directories under settings\enu to contain any files. I've tried versions 16, 17, 18, and 2018. Nada.

Thank you for your reply. I tried dictionary manager, and I can set a custom sound for punctuation marks, but when I try it out, the sounds are very unreliable. I can hear my sound being played only in 50% of the times. Moreover, if the punctuation is in the middle of the sentence, Jaws doesn't pause the speech and there is no particular order in which the sound is played.

Hello all,


Is there a way to substitute punctuation marks with custom sounds? I am
a developer and often times I have to listen to tongue twisters of
punctuation marks, like "left bracket right brace left paren ..." I wish
to replace all these parens and brackets with sounds. Is there a way to
do so in Jaws?


Thanks

Lynda, there isn't a typing tutorial built into JAWS (you'd have to get

allow you to explore the keyboard so you can get familiar where keys on
the keyboard are located. you can enable this feature by pressing
insert+1 , that's the 1 above the letters. notice that pressing
combinations of keys, like control+a, announces what that combination
does. if you press the a twice while holding the control down, JAWS will
give you a more detailed description of what the combination does. this
also applies to JAWS specific combinations like insert+page down, as
well as (I think) Windows combinations.

when you're done exploring the keyboard, just press insert+1 to disable
"keyboard help".

BTW, NVDA has the same feature using the same insert+1 to enable and

Hi Mario,
 
I couldn't find the sounds using the file path you posted, but instead found them here:
 
C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\16.0\SETTINGS\enu\SOUNDS
 
This is where the sounds for all Jaws versions are saved / stored.
The Sounds folder in your path was empty, & even after unhiding all files / folders it was still empty.

Richard, the sounds may be unique to JAWS because most, if not all, come

Are they part of the Windows sounds, or unique to Jaws?

Do you mean Jaws key plus numpad plus, and Jaws key plus numpad minus, to connect the cursors?

Group,

Is there a way to lock the JAWS cursors together in Excel so that it is easier to figure out which cells I am entering data into and where the cursor is when inserting rows/columns?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi, Mario. Patrick may not need to tether the cursors to know where he is in a cell, but unless he has the keystrokes he is seeking, he won't learn that this is the wrong solution and move toward finding a better method for accomplishing his task. This is why I posted the keystrokes he is seeking.

I agree with Sieghard. there should be no reason to tether the JAWS
cursor to the PC cursor just to hear where you are in the spreadsheet.

plus the PC cursor should be the cursor mode when starting many, if not
all, programs.

No Sieghard. I think Patric means the following:


Desktop Keyboard Layout

Tether JAWS to PC CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD MINUS

Laptop Keyboard Layout

Tether JAWS to PC CTRL+CAPSLOCK+LEFT BRACKET

You can always quickly check what cell you are in with Jaws Key+C.
Not sure why the Jaws cursor would help in locating what cell you are
in, as you move the PC cursor it announces the cell you are on.

Re: Substitute punctuation marks with sounds

Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
 

Hi Mario,
I only have Jaws 2018 and thanks to your info, I found them in:
"C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2018\SETTINGS\enu\SOUNDS"

I don't know that I'll ever do anything with this, but it is fun to know about. Someone at Freedom Scientific must have been a Victor Borge fan.

For those who do not know that name, he was an excellent pianist, but also a very funny comedian who had a great routine about phonetic punctuation.

You can check it out on YouTube:

Right, but if one wanted to use a custom sound, it would be necessary to
know where the folder is, unless there isn't one and they are simple
part of the program.

Richard, the sounds may be unique to JAWS because most, if not all, come
from the VFO employees and are probably used in particular features of
JAWS). but they're plain old wav files (nothing special).

I just took a look at this. Quite interesting. You hit add, then tab
over to the list of sounds.

I'm curious, where do those sound files reside?

Are they part of the Windows sounds, or unique to Jaws?

Thanks,
Richard

Hello Tony,
Dictionary Manager may suit your needs.
Place cursor on the offending punctuation mark.
Press insert D
Follow the instructions, and press alt F4 to implement the changes.

Hello all,


Is there a way to substitute punctuation marks with custom sounds? I am
a developer and often times I have to listen to tongue twisters of
punctuation marks, like "left bracket right brace left paren ..." I wish
to replace all these parens and brackets with sounds. Is there a way to
do so in Jaws?


Thanks

Tony

That is easy. Use a player named Potplayer. Start your playback, in the broken
instance Pause with spacebar and move around with Jaws cursor; you would
immediately get located the minute your track is in.
