Here\u2019s how it works, plus what restrictions apply.\n\n---\n\n## What counts as a \"default voice profile\"\n\n- \u201cFactory\u201d or \u201cdefault\u201d profiles are those that come pre-installed with JAWS \u2014 for example, *Eloquence \u2013 (factory)* or *Vocalizer Expressive \u2013 (factory)*.  \n- These profiles are protected and cannot be deleted. ([blog.tecwindow.net](https://blog.tecwindow.net/4553/about-voice-settings-in-jaws-screen-reader/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to delete a **custom** voice profile\n\nIf the profile is a custom one (i.e. not a factory voice preset), you can remove it by following these steps:\n\n1. Open the JAWS menu (press **Insert + J**). ([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/jaws-add-new-voices?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Go to *Options* \u2192 *Voices* \u2192 *Voice Adjustment*. ([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/jaws-add-new-voices?utm_source=openai))  \n3. In the dialog, find the drop-down list labeled **Profile Name**. ([wyoassessment.org](https://wyoassessment.org/content/contentresources/en/AssistiveTechManual_23-24.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Select the custom profile you want to delete. ([blog.tecwindow.net](https://blog.tecwindow.net/4553/about-voice-settings-in-jaws-screen-reader/?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Press the **Delete Profile** (or \u201cDelete Profile\u201d button). Confirm when prompted. ([blog.tecwindow.net](https://blog.tecwindow.net/4553/about-voice-settings-in-jaws-screen-reader/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nAfter deletion, JAWS will usually switch back to the first profile in the list. ([blog.tecwindow.net](https://blog.tecwindow.net/4553/about-voice-settings-in-jaws-screen-reader/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What you *cannot* do\n\n- You **cannot delete** a voice profile that is marked as *factory* (i.e. a default voice). ([blog.tecwindow.net](https://blog.tecwindow.net/4553/about-voice-settings-in-jaws-screen-reader/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Even if you modify a factory profile, you won\u2019t be able to remove it. It\u2019s locked in by the system. ([blog.tecwindow.net](https://blog.tecwindow.net/4553/about-voice-settings-in-jaws-screen-reader/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you're not sure whether a profile you're trying to delete is custom or factory, let me know the name and version of JAWS you\u2019re using, and I can help you check."

Below are general instructions plus detailed steps for Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, and Slack \u2014 all of which have been built with good screen reader support.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\uddf0 What you need for a 1-on-1 chat\n\nFor a private chat between two people, the service needs:\n\n- A way to choose or enter the name (or email) of the other person.\n- A \u201cnew conversation,\u201d \u201cdirect message,\u201d or \u201cprivate chat\u201d option.\n- Accessibility features so screen readers can move between:\n  1. Contact selection\n  2. Message editing field\n  3. Send button\n\nDepending on the platform, you may also have additional keyboard shortcuts to help.\n\n---\n\n## Microsoft Teams\n\nIf you\u2019re using Teams, here\u2019s how to start a direct chat with one person:\n\n1. Press **Ctrl + 2** to open the Chat pane. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-chat-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Press **Ctrl + N** to begin a new chat. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-chat-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Type the name or email of the person you want to chat with. As you type, the system will suggest matching contacts. Use the **Down Arrow** to navigate the list, then **Enter** to select. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-chat-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))  \n4. After selecting exactly one person, press **Tab** to move to the message field. Type your message. Press **Enter** to send. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-chat-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))  \n\nIf you ever want to add more people (making it more than two), just repeat the contact-adding step. But for just two, select one, then compose. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-chat-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Google Chat\n\nHere\u2019s how to set up a 1-on-1 or small group chat in Google Chat with a screen reader:\n\n1. Use the keyboard shortcut **Ctrl + Shift + K** (on Windows) or **Command + Shift + K** (on Mac) to begin a new direct message. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/chat/answer/7652236?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n2. Start typing the person\u2019s name. The screen reader will announce suggestions. Use **Down Arrow** to move through suggestions, then **Enter** to pick. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/chat/answer/7652236?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n3. Once the person is selected, move focus to the message input field (often by pressing **Tab**, or it may move automatically). Type your message. Press **Enter** to send. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/chat/answer/7652236?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n\nThat sets up a chat between you and the other person. If you enter more names, it becomes a group conversation. Make sure to only select one to stay with two-person chat.\n\n---\n\n## Slack\n\nFor Slack, which also supports screen readers well:\n\n1. If you don\u2019t already see a DM (Direct Message) thread with the person, start a new one by pressing **Ctrl + /** (Windows) or **Cmd + /** (Mac) to bring up the shortcut menu. ([slack.com](https://slack.com/help/articles/360000411963-Use-Slack-with-a-screen-reader?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Navigate to **Direct Messages**, or use **Ctrl + K** (Windows) or **Cmd + K** (Mac) to jump to contact search. ([slack.com](https://slack.com/help/articles/360000411963-Use-Slack-with-a-screen-reader?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Type the person\u2019s name, select them from the suggestions, **Enter** to open the DM. ([slack.com](https://slack.com/help/articles/360000411963-Use-Slack-with-a-screen-reader?utm_source=openai))  \n4. In the message field, type your message, then **Enter** to send. ([slack.com](https://slack.com/help/articles/360000411963-Use-Slack-with-a-screen-reader?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Tips to make using screen readers easier in chats\n\n- Always know or learn the keyboard navigation shortcuts for your specific screen reader + platform.\n- Use \u201cTab\u201d and arrow keys to move between what you\u2019re reading: people\u2019s names, chat list, compose box, send button.\n- Screen readers will often automatically announce suggestions as you type, like names of contacts. Useful with name typing.  \n- You may need to adjust verbosity or settings so you\u2019re informed when new messages arrive, chats open, etc.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me *which chat platform* you're using (for instance, Teams, Slack, Google Chat, Zoom, etc.) and which *screen reader* you use, I can give you exact keystrokes and shortcuts for *your setup*. Would you like that?"
