So every now and then one of my sighted friends comes over and wants to check something out on the internet. But she’s always complaining about my eloquence’s voice program running with JAWS. So what’s the fastest and best way to shut JAWS down, and the fastest and best way to bring it back up, after she’s done? I know way back when, on a different computer, I had someone put on some short cut keys to disable JAWS, once disabled you could just hit those short cut keys again, and JAWS would come back up. So how do I go about setting this up again on my current laptop? Although, it’s kind of funny listening to a sightling freak out; when having to listen to eloquence going a thousand miles an hour while working on your computer! Michael D.

Hi Michael,
First, check whether the Jaws shortcut you should have on your desktop has a shortcut key or not. In order to do so, select it and press <alt+enter> to display its properties.
Then, tab twice. You should hear “Shortcut key (hotkey):” and something more. If this additional information is simply <none>, type a key on your keyboard, (the letter j for instance). Then, tab away from this
item, and shift+tab back to it. You should now hear “Shortcut key (hotkey): ctrl+alt+j”. “j” could be replaced with the letter you typed.
If it’s ok, tab until the Ok button and press <enter>.
In order to check if it works, try pressing it. Jaws cannot be launched twice but it should inform you about such an attempt, for instance, by placing you into the Jaws window or opening the Jaws context menu,
(depends on whether you choose to minimize jaws in the taskbar on in the notification area).
Now, if it works, you can confidently type <jawskey+f4> in order to shut jaws down. After your sighted friend gives you back your computer, simply type the hotkey you previously defined and jaws should restart
soon.
HTH, Have a nice day. ChD

If you have JAWS running on your task bar and you know its number you can press the menu or windows key and that number to launch it. To check this go to your task bar. The The first item would be menu key 1, the next menu key 2... For example, I would press menu key 6 because JAWS is in the sixth position on my task bar.

Hello Michael,
If all you want to do is silence JAWS, you can do this without
killing JAWS.
You will have
to use the layered command.
Use the numpad insert key, this is the JAWS modifier key.
JAWS plus space bar, then press "s" to toggle the synthesizer on
or off.

Thanks! Do you think if I go that route and shut off just the voicing, it won’t interfere with a sightling’s normal navigation of whatever program they’re working with? As in maneuvering the mouse ETC?

Hi, Mike. If you shut off only the voicing of JAWS, it will
still interfere with typing text into form fields. Sighted users won't be able
to type into edit fields without activating them in JAWS, unless JAWS is
completely unloaded.

I think that it is the JAWS cursor that is such a
distraction to sighted people, of course, as well as all the
noise it makes. I have headphones, so they wouldn't hear
mine, but the cursor seems to alter what they are used to
seeing on the screen. Incidentally, I have on the most
comfortable, you don't even know they are there, two-dollar
headphones.
Bye for now,
Carolyn

I think that it is the JAWS cursor that is such a distraction to sighted
people, of course, as well as all the noise it makes. I have headphones, so
they wouldn't hear mine, but the cursor seems to alter what they are used to
seeing on the screen. Incidentally, I have on the most comfortable, you
don't even know they are there, two-dollar headphones.

No, they earphones are not Blue Tooth. They came from Rose's
Department Store, and I bought eight or ten of them and have
given some for presents. I have a pair at the computer, one
to use on my phone, since a mike is included, and one on my
LBS reader. I went to get a box to ask my husband, but have
none of them here now. I have a couple of dollar ones in the
box, but wonder if they are as good. They had extra ear pads
included, and the pads are puffy, sort of like a teeny
balloon that has just started to deflate. I have been using
them for about a year now.

Hi, I do it one of two ways: 1. I just use the windows-R command and type JAWS# where number is the version of JAWS I am running. 2. I also have an icon on my desktop so just use ctrl-M then J for JAWS and it comes back. Of course, I am still running Windows 8… Hope this helps. Lee Anne

Someone already gave you this info:
Use JAWS Key plus F4 to turn off JAWS. Make sure that before
you do this you have a shortcut key on your desktop set to reload JAWS. If you
have a JAWS icon on your desktop that looks something like this excluding
possibly the version numbers:
JAWS17.0
Press ALT plus ENTER when this icon is highlighted, meaning
you arrow to it but don't click it before pressing ALT plus ENTER.
Once you have pressed ALT plus ENTER on the icon, you will
reach the properties of the file. Use the TAB key to get to the dialog which
says:
Shortcut key:
If it says NONE, press whichever key you want to use to bring
up JAWS. I use the letter J. Then TAB to Apply and press ENTER. Then TAB to OK
and press ENTER.
Once this is done, whenever JAWS is unloaded, you may press
ALT plus CONTROL plus J and JAWS will load automatically.

Unloading Jaws does not require you to set up a shortcut key, Jaws Key+F4 will do this, it is a built-in shortcut key and if you press it Jaws will say the following:
Unloading JAWS
Quit JAWS dialog
Are you sure you want to quit JAWS? Press Enter to quit now, or Escape to cancel.
OK
At this point focus is on the OK button, so just press enter and Jaws will go away, if you don't want it to do this press Escape.
As for bringing Jaws back as other pointed out you'll have to add a shortcut key combination like Control+Shift+J to the Jaws shortcut on the desktop.
As long as the Jaws shortcut is on your desktop you can also press Windows+M a couple of times to make sure all Windows are minimized and you are on the desktop, then type "J" and as long as Jaws is the only
shortcut that starts with J focus will now be on Jaws and pressing enter will start it.
A final method is to use Windows+R to bring up the Run dialogue, type "Jaws" followed by your version and press enter. For example, if you have Jaws 17 then type "Jaws17" without space and press enter.

Sieghard

all you need to do is press insert plus f4 and then press enter on the o.k. button and jaws is gone. just be sure you have a hot key assigned to the jaws shortcut on the desktop to bring it back. of course, depending on the version, you can press windows plus r and type in jaws## and press enter. the ## refers to the main version of jaws you are running, so if you are running jaws15 that's what you would type jaws15 and press enter.

Jaws Key+Windows+F4 will dump Jaws and restart it. It is meant as a last resort when Jaws hangs or crashes in which case this key combination usually brings it back.

You can skip the Yes question by using Jaws+Windows+F4. Jaws will shut down immediately.
Tony
Unloading Jaws does not require you to set up a shortcut key, Jaws Key+F4 will do this, it is a built-in shortcut key and if you press it Jaws will say the following:
Unloading JAWS
Quit JAWS dialog
Are you sure you want to quit JAWS? Press Enter to quit now, or Escape to cancel.
OK
At this point focus is on the OK button, so just press enter and Jaws will go away, if you don't want it to do this press Escape.
As for bringing Jaws back as other pointed out you'll have to add a shortcut key combination like Control+Shift+J to the Jaws shortcut on the desktop.
As long as the Jaws shortcut is on your desktop you can also press Windows+M a couple of times to make sure all Windows are minimized and you are on the desktop, then type "J" and as long as Jaws is the only
shortcut that starts with J focus will now be on Jaws and pressing enter will start it.
A final method is to use Windows+R to bring up the Run dialogue, type "Jaws" followed by your version and press enter. For example, if you have Jaws 17 then type "Jaws17" without space and press enter.

That’s what I thought. So how can I set up my computer, via short cut keystrokes, to completely shut off JAWS, and still easily bring it back up once said sightling is finished?
Hi, Mike. If you shut off only the voicing of JAWS, it will still interfere with typing text into form fields. Sighted users won't be able to type into
edit fields without activating them in JAWS, unless JAWS is completely unloaded.

Thanks! Do you think if I go that route and shut off just the voicing, it won’t interfere with a sightling’s normal navigation of whatever program they’re working with? As in maneuvering the mouse ETC?
Hello Michael,
If all you want to do is silence JAWS, you can do this without killing JAWS.
You will have to use the layered command.
Use the numpad insert key, this is the JAWS modifier key.
JAWS plus space bar, then press "s" to toggle the synthesizer on or off.

Hi Michael,
First, check whether the Jaws shortcut you should have on your desktop has a shortcut key or not. In order to do so, select it and press <alt+enter> to display its properties.
Then, tab twice. You should hear “Shortcut key (hotkey):” and something more. If this additional information is simply <none>, type a key on your keyboard, (the letter j for instance). Then, tab away from this
item, and shift+tab back to it. You should now hear “Shortcut key (hotkey): ctrl+alt+j”. “j” could be replaced with the letter you typed.
If it’s ok, tab until the Ok button and press <enter>.
In order to check if it works, try pressing it. Jaws cannot be launched twice but it should inform you about such an attempt, for instance, by placing you into the Jaws window or opening the Jaws context menu,
(depends on whether you choose to minimize jaws in the taskbar on in the notification area).
Now, if it works, you can confidently type <jawskey+f4> in order to shut jaws down. After your sighted friend gives you back your computer, simply type the hotkey you previously defined and jaws should restart
