Jaws Voice AssistantThe Voice Assistant provides a way to interact with JAWS in Windows 10 using speech input. Supported languages include English, Dutch, German, Spanish, and French. Ask it to help you out with various JAWS features using natural speech. This means that the same JAWS action can be performed by more than one similar phrase instead of a single predefined voice command. For instance, to launch Settings Center, you could say "Settings Center" or "change settings."Unlike keyboard shortcuts, which can be hard to remember, natural voice commands are an easier way to interact with the JAWS software. Using voice input to control JAWS can also benefit users with certain conditions which prevent them from using a keyboard effectively.The JAWS Voice Assistant uses your computer's internal microphone or you can talk to it using an external microphone or headset. To tell the Voice Assistant to begin listening for a specific command, there are three options:Press the key combination, INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR. Speak a specific wake word which alerts the software to begin listening for a voice command, similar to using an Alexa or Google Home device. The wake word for JAWS is "Sharky." Speak this word followed by a specific JAWS command, such as, "Sharky, list links." Note: The wake word is not available if you are using a Bluetooth microphone. In this case, you must use the keystroke before speaking the voice command.From the JAWS main window, press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu, expand the Voice Assistant submenu, and then select Talk to JAWS. When the Voice Assistant starts listening for a voice command, a short audio indicator plays, and a visual indicator is displayed. After hearing a voice command, a different audio indicator plays until the command is processed. After processing, the visual indicator is removed, a different, short, audio indicator plays, and the desired JAWS action is performed.If the Voice Assistant does not hear anything, JAWS says, "Sorry, I didn’t hear anything." If the Voice Assistant does not understand or if the voice command is not supported, JAWS says, "Sorry, I didn’t catch that."Note: Since all voice recognition processing is performed over the Internet using Microsoft Services in the cloud, there will be a slight delay depending on your connection. Be patient and experiment with different commands. This is a new technology being added to our software products and will continue to change and evolve over time. We welcome your suggestions and feedback.To turn off the Voice Assistant or change other options, such as whether or not JAWS listens for the wake word or to turn off the sounds, open the JAWS Utilities menu, expand the Voice Assistant submenu, and then select Settings. This opens Settings Center and places focus on the Voice Assistant group.You can also press INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR twice quickly to immediately toggle the wake word on or off. When the wake word is off, you must always press INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR first to tell JAWS to begin listening for a command.To learn more and to view a full list of voice commands for specific JAWS actions, say "Sharky, help." You can also open the JAWS Utilities menu, expand the Voice Assistant submenu, and select Getting Started.Voice CommandsThe following tables provide voice commands used to perform specific JAWS actions. In many cases, the Voice Assistant supports additional voice commands to perform the same action to support a more natural speech pattern. For instance, saying either "Change Settings" or "Open Settings Center" opens the JAWS Settings Center. Remember to say "Sharky" or press INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR before speaking each command.General Voice CommandsNatural Voice CommandShort Voice CommandDisplay the Voice Assistant help topicHelpDisplay the Window List dialog boxWindow listDisplay the Commands Search dialog boxCommand searchDisplay the Keyboard Manager dialog boxKeyboard ManagerDisplay the Dictionary Manager dialog boxDictionary ManagerDisplay the Settings Center dialog boxSettingsIncrease the voice rateSpeak fasterDecrease the voice rateSpeak slowerTemporarily set the voice rate to [number] (Example, temporarily set the voice rate to 100.)Set voice rate to [number] (Example, set voice rate to 100.)What time is itTimeWhat is today's dateDateToggle the screen shadeToggle screen shadeToggle the audio duckingToggle audio duckingToggle the speech on demandToggle speech on demandUse the JAWS CursorJAWS CursorUse the PC CursorPC CursorUse the Touch CursorTouch CursorToggle the Virtual PC cursorToggle Virtual PC cursorCopy the speech history to the clipboardCopy speech historyOCR the selected fileOCR fileOCR the PDF contentsOCR PDFOCR the current windowOCR windowOCR the screenOCR screenOCR the current controlOCR controlOCR from a cameraOCR cameraOCR from a scannerOCR scannerStop the OCRStop OCRVoice Commands for Web PagesNatural Voice CommandShort Voice CommandDisplay the list of linksList linksDisplay the list of headingsList headingsDisplay the list of graphicsList graphicsDisplay the list of tablesList tablesDisplay the list of form fieldsList form fieldsVoice Commands for Item Lists in WordNatural Voice CommandShort Voice CommandDisplay the list of linksList linksDisplay the list of headingsList headingsDisplay the list of graphicsList graphicsDisplay the list of tablesList tablesDisplay the list of form fieldsList form fieldsDisplay the list of commentsList commentsDisplay the list of grammatical errorsList grammatical errorsDisplay the list of spelling errorsList spelling errorsVoice Commands for Navigation in WordNatural Voice CommandShort Voice CommandGo to the first commentFirst commentGo to the next commentNext commentGo to the previous commentPrevious commentGo to the last commentLast commentGo to the first grammatical errorFirst grammatical errorGo to the next grammatical errorNext grammatical errorGo to the previous grammatical errorPrevious grammatical errorGo to the last grammatical errorLast grammatical errorGo to the first spelling errorFirst spelling errorGo to the next spelling errorNext spelling errorGo to the previous spelling errorPrevious spelling errorGo to the last spelling errorLast spelling errorGo to the first headingFirst headingGo to the next headingNext headingGo to the previous headingPrevious headingGo to the last headingLast headingGo to the first tableFirst tableGo to the next tableNext tableGo to the previous tablePrevious tableGo to the last tableLast tableGo to the first pageFirst pageGo to the next pageNext pageGo to the previous pagePrevious pageGo to the last pageLast pageGo to the first fieldFirst fieldGo to the next fieldNext fieldGo to the previous fieldPrevious fieldGo to the last fieldLast fieldGo to the first sectionFirst sectionGo to the next sectionNext sectionGo to the previous sectionPrevious sectionGo to the last sectionLast sectionVoice Commands for General Outlook NavigationNatural Voice CommandShort Voice CommandGo to the Calendar viewCalendarGo to the Messages viewMessagesGo to the Contacts viewContactsGo to the Tasks viewTasksGo to the Notes viewNotesVoice Commands for Navigating Outlook MessagesNatural Voice CommandShort Voice CommandGo to AttachmentsAttachmentsDisplay the list of linksList linksDisplay the list of headingsList headingsDisplay the list of graphicsList graphicsDisplay the list of tablesList tablesDisplay the list of grammatical errorsList grammatical errorsDisplay the list of spelling errorsList spelling errors ................
