How do you turn it off?

Hi Owais, I think you are over complicating this. I would just get a Windows PC or laptop and start using it, learn as you go. There is no point in reading 3 books trying to remember everything so,

Hello all: Thank you for the information. I was afraid that everything would have to be done one word at a time. I am not going to correct thousands of words in the jaws dictionary for a vocalizer

Hi, Mario. What I am saying is that, even if you put the same entries into the dictionary of the Vocalizer voices as they were in the Elequence voice, they won't be pronounced the same way as they

Hi, Sometimes changing the reading order in the PDF will help with Jaws reading words together. Press CTRL + K to go to Adobe Reader Preferences, press the letter R till you hear “Reading”, and

Hi all, Val, it's one of those personal choice things. Turn it off if it annoys you. It certainly annoys the heck out of me. You really don't need it, unless your computer loses focus all the
