hi Matthew, i'm not a scripter and no idea to how to slow down the volume of jaws with scripting. but i have one suggestion and i myself was using it. go to default keymap file and look for "mute synthesizer", set a keystroke for it and activate that keystroke when need to listen to music/dvds. this keystroke is toggle, so you can press the second time to unmute it. i set mine to JawsKey+BackSpace. hope this can help you a little.

I'm wondering if there is a way of somehow being able to turn down the jaws voice without turning down the Windows system volume? That is, when listening to any kind of audio, when one wants to raise the audio as in music or a DVD, one must also deal with the jaws volume shredding one's eardrums because the eloquence voice is so damn loud! Is there a programming fix or possibly even a scripting fix? Matthew __________ View the list's information and change your settings at http://www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
