FAQ: How do I read speaker notes while presenting with JAWS?

Did you know JAWS has a built-in audio balance feature that is especially useful when presenting in PowerPoint?

Press JAWS KEY+SPACE, then V for volume, then B for balance, then RIGHT or LEFT ARROW. This routes JAWS speech to your right (or left) speaker or headphone and all other application audio to your left (or right).

If your presentation includes audio or video clips, this means you can clearly distinguish between JAWS announcements and the content being played, without the two competing with each other.
