Here\u2019s how to do that, based on Freedom Scientific\u2019s JAWS documentation and user guides, which should apply similarly in recent versions:\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Make One Display the Default in JAWS\n\nIf by \u201cdisplay\u201d you mean a **braille display**, here\u2019s how to set one as the default:\n\n1. Open the **JAWS window** (e.g. via the JAWS icon in the tray or a command like `INSERT + J`)  \n2. Press `Alt + O` to open the **Options** menu.  \n3. Navigate with arrow keys to **Braille** and press `Enter`.  \n4. In the Braille settings window, **Tab** through to **Add a Braille Display** and activate it.  \n5. From the list of devices, select the braille display you want to use, activate it (usually via `Space` or `Enter`).  \n6. You may be prompted to select the communication port (USB or Bluetooth), or other settings.  \n7. Make sure that in the list of displays, your preferred one is marked as **Primary** or **Default**.  \n8. Select **Finish**, then **OK**.  \n9. Restart JAWS to ensure the changes take effect. ([help.soomolearning.com](https://help.soomolearning.com/en/articles/6449493-how-do-i-set-up-my-braille-display-with-my-screen-reader?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf instead by \u201cdisplay\u201d you mean a **speech synthesizer voice** or a **speech output device**, here\u2019s how to choose and set a default:\n\n1. Open JAWS.  \n2. Press `Insert + J` (or your JAWS modifier + J) to open the JAWS menu.  \n3. Press `O` to go to **Options**, then navigate to **Voices** \u2192 **Voice Adjustment** (or similar voice settings).  \n4. From there, pick the synthesizer or voice you want as default.  \n5. Look for options like \u201cSynthesizer Language\u201d, \u201cSynthesizer\u201d, or \u201cVoice Profile\u201d, and choose yours.  \n6. Apply, then look for a **Save As** or **Save** so that it remains default the next time. ([files.eric.ed.gov](https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1187773.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## If you meant something else by \u201cdisplay\u201d\n\nIf \u201cdisplay\u201d refers to something different \u2014 maybe the \u201cvirtual display\u201d, \u201ctext viewer\u201d, \u201cspeech viewer\u201d, or some other output panel \u2014 or if you are selecting among multiple settings, but can see a list and want to make one default, look for a check box or \u201cPrimary/Default\u201d label in those settings. Many settings in JAWS have something like:\n\n- A checkbox saying \u201cUse this as primary\u201d  \n- A radio button marking a given device as default  \n- An \u201cApply / OK / Save as Default\u201d option\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me exactly what kind of \u201cdisplay\u201d you have in the list (braille display? voice? output viewer?), I can give you more precise steps tailored to that."
