moderated jaws quick / hot key
Rick Mladek
Hi all,
Sorry for my constant inquiries but is there a short cut for turning jaws on and off? Something more quick than alt tabbing to jaws and hitting alt F4?
Thanks
Rick

And if you use Jaws 2019 you can now specify in Options > Basic if you want to get the prompt whether you really want to exit Jaws. If you don’t want it then pressing Jaws Key + F4 simply unloads Jaws and that is that. You can make a keyboard shortcut to reload Jaws, go to the Jaws icon on the desktop and press Alt + Enter for the properties: 1. Tab twice and you hear “Shortcut key: Hot key, None 2. Press a key combination you want to use, I recommend Control + Shift + J since it’s easy to press and easy to remember 3. Tab to OK and activate it. You maybe be prompted to continue with administrator rights, but once done if Jaws is unloaded pressing Control + Shift + J will start it.

Hi, Rick. In case all you want to do is to mute speech instead of unloading JAWS entirely, try the following,
1. Open Settings Center with INSERT plus six on numbers row. 2. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus D to load Default JAWS configuration. 3. In the search field, type
speech.
4. Arrow down to Less Speech Options. 5. Press SPACE BAR to toggle speech from Speech On Demand to Mute Speech. 6. TAB to OK, and press ENTER to save settings.
7. Now, INSERT plus SPACE, followed by S will mute speech instead of setting it to Speech On Demand.

But unless you are on my computer, the Jaws hotkey will launch Jaws if you have one set up.
Otherwise, you can press Windows-key, plus r for the run dialog, and type jaws2019 and hit enter.
None of my desktop shortcut keys work when I use Jaws 2019, but they work fine if I run Jaws 2018. Neither Microsoft or FS can explain that.
I've done repairs, uninstall and reinstall, with no change.
So, the run dialog has become my friend.

Hi Bill,
Just for your information, you can accomplish what you described also in the following way:
1. Press Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by S – this will turn on speech on demand 2. Now press Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by Shift + S – Jaws will say “Speech off set to speech mute” 3. Press Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by S again – Jaws will now say full speech and from now on when you press this layered shortcut it will toggle between mute and full speech. If you want to go back to speech on demand simply repeat the above steps, first toggle speech to mute, then press the layered keystroke but with Shift + S and Jaws will say “Speech off set to speech on demand”, now the toggle is back between full speech and speech on demand.

Hi, Sieghard. This only works for the current session. If you restart JAWS or your computer, using SHIFT plus S does not make Speech Mute permanently the default behavior.

no, that's why you should assign a shortcut to start JAWS. or if JAWS
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
was pinned to the task bar, pressing the windows key plus the number of the position of JAWS will start JAWS. I have JAWS set to the first position on the task bar, so windows+homerow 1 starts JAWS.

I have encountered a similar situation, and have found it is the fault of another program that is interacting with my assistive technology. May want to see what other programs you have running that could be causing the lack of desktop shortcut

Sieghard, Are you able to articulate to me what Speech on Demand really does? Even without following the steps you and Bill each outlined, I was finding that the JAWS spacebar then S would mute my speech. JAWS says Speech on Demand, but when this is active, I havent’ noticed JAWS speaking so it’s effectively been a mute function for me. I’m not clear how someone would use Speech on Demand and am guessing that you have to customize how JAWS will or won’t speak in this mode, but can’t imagine how it’s used.

Hi, Robin. When JAWS is set to mute speech, speech is always muted. When JAWS is set to use Speech on demand, speech is usually muted, but JAWS will still speek when using commands such as,
Say Character Say Prior Word Say Next Word Say Word Spell Word Say Prior Line Say Current Line Spell Current Line Say All
etc. So, you have speech muted, but when using navigational commands except for arrow keys, JAWS will speak normally.

JAWS says Speech on Demand, but when this is active, I havent’ noticed JAWS speaking so it’s effectively been a mute function for me. I’m not clear how someone would use Speech on Demand and am guessing that you have to customize how JAWS will or won’t speak in this mode, but can’t imagine how it’s used.

Hi Bill,
Just for your information, you can accomplish what you described also in the following way:
1. Press Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by S – this will turn on speech on demand 2. Now press Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by Shift + S – Jaws will say “Speech off set to speech mute” 3. Press Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by S again – Jaws will now say full speech and from now on when you press this layered shortcut it will toggle between mute and full speech. If you want to go back to speech on demand simply repeat the above steps, first toggle speech to mute, then press the layered keystroke but with Shift + S and Jaws will say “Speech off set to speech on demand”, now the toggle is back between full speech and speech on demand.
Regards, Sieghard

Hi, Rick. In case all you want to do is to mute speech instead of unloading JAWS entirely, try the following,
1. Open Settings Center with INSERT plus six on numbers row. 2. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus D to load Default JAWS configuration. 3. In the search field, type
speech.
4. Arrow down to Less Speech Options. 5. Press SPACE BAR to toggle speech from Speech On Demand to Mute Speech. 6. TAB to OK, and press ENTER to save settings.
7. Now, INSERT plus SPACE, followed by S will mute speech instead of setting it to Speech On Demand.

Hi all,
Sorry for my constant inquiries but is there a short cut for turning jaws on and off? Something more quick than alt tabbing to jaws and hitting alt F4?
Thanks
Rick

This can be a very useful option for braille users who want some speech but don’t necessarily want Jaws to speak everything and it was really designed with braille users in mind. It is not a useful option for a completely blind person who relies on speech only.

Thanks, Bill. I’ll have to explore this. Not sure how I’d use that yet, but it’s always good to know what JAWS is capable of doing.

Hi, Robin. When JAWS is set to mute speech, speech is always muted. When JAWS is set to use Speech on demand, speech is usually muted, but JAWS will still speek when using commands such as,
Say Character Say Prior Word Say Next Word Say Word Spell Word Say Prior Line Say Current Line Spell Current Line Say All
etc. So, you have speech muted, but when using navigational commands except for arrow keys, JAWS will speak normally.

Also never forget that all of this is covered in detail in Help > Jaws Help Topics. In this case here is what is said about speech on demand:
Speech On DemandSpeech On Demand is a feature that allows you to limit the amount of JAWS speech you hear as you navigate windows and documents or perform other actions using hot keys. By default, when using Speech On Demand, JAWS only announces actions that are associated with a limited set of hot keys. In addition, mouse echo and typing echo are still available, which allows JAWS to read text that you point to with the mouse pointer and speak characters and words as you type. You can quickly toggle between Speech On Demand and full speech using a convenient layered command, or even make Speech On Demand the default speech mode when JAWS starts. For JAWS users who rely heavily on Braille or for users of Fusion that can see well enough to use the screen for tracking focus, too much speech can be overwhelming while navigating using the keyboard and mouse. However, users still want to be able to use speech to read once they have moved to a location on the screen, or just checking a Window Title, column heading in a table or spread sheet, or even reading the time from the System tray. In both these situations, Speech On Demand can be very helpful. You will find that switching applications with ALT+TAB or using ARROW keys to move through a document are silenced. Speech is only triggered when using a limited set of reading commands such as speaking the current character, word, line, paragraph, or doing a Say All. You also have the option to completely turn off speech. Layered commands to toggle Speech On Demand or Mute Speech:
By default, JAWS always returns to Full Speech when restarted after these keystrokes have been used. To make permanent changes to the default settings, do the following:
Note: When set to Speech On Demand or Mute Speech, all sounds played by JAWS are also muted. This includes the sound heard when pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR to enter Layered Keys mode as well as the sound heard when completing an address in Outlook. Designated Reading CommandsThe tables below list the preset designated reading commands for Speech On Demand. These include commands available in all applications as well as commands specific to Word, Excel, and Outlook.

Hi, Sieghard. How did you bring up the help for speech on demand? When I enter Speech On Demand into the help topics, all I get back in response is a topic which directs me to JAWS Keystrokes.
