When you use speech and sounds schemes to alter the way JAWS reads information, you can store your associations as a scheme that you can apply at any time. Alternatively, you might want JAWS to identify bold text in a document by reading it in a deep voice.
You can also assign speech or a sound to specific text attributes in a word processing document.
For example, you could use different notes from a piano to indicate different heading levels. Speech and sounds schemes let you use voices, spoken text, or sounds to identify various elements of Web pages, dialog boxes, and documents. Have you ever wanted to hear things differently, perhaps to speed up your reading? Or perhaps you want to hear items you may be missing that you could read if only you knew they were there? If a button, check box, or other control within a Web page could be identified with a different voice, rather than using extra speech, it would mean you would have less to listen to.
