How to mute JAWS in a specific application
|
Adrian Spratt
Hi. I've just installed IRTI's Eclipse Pro Writer and Hovercam primarily for
scanning and performing OCR on documents. Eclipse comes with its own synthesizers, so I need to have JAWS be silent whenever I switch to that application. The old methods for silencing JAWS in a specific application appear no longer to work. One of the more recent was to use what is now the Quick Settings Dialog, but the mute/silence option doesn't appear, at least when I have Eclipse open. The one method I haven't yet tried involves opening default scripts and creating an on/off speech toggle keystroke. Even if that one still works, I'm hoping there's something a little more obvious. I am using JAWS 13 with XP. Any suggestions? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, yes its no longer in quick settings, you can either each time you

launch the app, press insert plus space, then s, and do the same thing when you exit, but the better way is to go to settings centre, then go to misilanious options, and then to sleep moad, press space til it says, enable and unload the synthesizer. Then press enter, of corse make sure that the application file for that eclips is selected in settings centre.

Pressing insert plus space bar gives me a double click. any keystroke after that does nothink. How can I do that wrong? What should I be doing?

Here's the flipside of my question. It turns out I need JAWS for certain

aspects of the program, and now I want to wake up JAWS. I went back to the setting center while in that application and, guess what, JAWS won't speak to help me do it. Do I just try to replicate the steps without verbalization, or is there a less chancy method?

Howard, you aren't the first JAWS user to have this problem. You seem to

describe how to perform the operation just right. But to make sure, press and release the insert key and spacebar as close together as you can, pause a moment, then press s. On my system, JAWS says "Speech off," then goes silent. I repeat the keystrokes, JAWS says, "Speech on," and all's well.

Hi Adrian,

Another thing to try is going into the J13 ENU folder & deleting any entry that is named after the program. i.e.,IRTI's Eclipse Pro Writer and Hovercam.JCF Hope this helps. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

So simple. And it worked. I'm in awe. Thanks, Mike.

When I press the insert plus spacebar, I hear a double click (the clicks are of lower then higher pitch). After that, neither s nor any other key does anything. I am back to whatever screen I started from. I suppose this is a script of some kind and if I knew anything about scripts, I might look into it further. Howard
