Hi, John,
I probably didn't explain the steps for turning on speaking of color in
JAWS very well! I navigate the JAWS menus, Utilities then pick
Configuration Manager. Once the configuration manager window opens I pick
Set Options then Speech and Sounds Manager. When that dialog opens there
is drop down list of schemes. I'm not sure if I created a new scheme or
used one of the existing ones - I think I used an existing one. I have
one named "Attributes and Color". I selected that scheme and pressed the
edit current scheme button. That brings up a tab panel and I pick the tab
labeled "color". Then, I activated the radio labeled "Speak Color". That
puts an entry in the edit box on this dialog. That edit box has three
column headers, color, behavior, and data. My entries for those three
columns are default, speak colors, using message voice, respectively. I
select OK in this dialog then select the "Save Current Scheme" button. I
may have restarted JAWS but I don't think so. I did have to restart JAWS
to turn off this setting, though.
Although, I don't know too much about modifying schemes - maybe that is
changing other ways that you interact with JAWS?
Hope this helps!
