Voice Settings
JAWS allows you to customize the voices used for speech so you don’t get them confused.
You can assign different voices for cursor messages, the keyboard voice you hear when you type and even upper case characters.
1. Press INSERT+J to make the JAWS window active.
2. Go to the Options menu and press the DOWN ARROW until you hear Voices, and then press ENTER.
3. Choose whether you want to change all of your voices or just one. To change all of your voices, choose Global Adjustment, but if you only want to change
one, choose Individual Voice Adjustment.
From within either of these dialog boxes, you can adjust such settings as Speech rate, what kind of punctuation you want to hear, the upper case pitch increment, among others. For details about adjusting your voices please see Individual Voices Dialog and Global Voice Settings Dialog.
