([britbrief.co.uk](https://britbrief.co.uk/weather/radar/uk-clocks-spring-forward-to-bst-in-march-2026-date--time.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- California will be on **Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)** by then, since Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. begins earlier, on **Sunday, March 8, 2026**, when clocks are set forward by one hour. ([timeanddate.com](https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/usa/california?year=2026&utm_source=openai))\n\nSince GMT is UTC+0 and PDT is UTC\u22127, the time difference is 7 hours. But because the UK is not yet observing BST (which would be UTC+1), it's a full 8 hours.  \n\nSo if it's, say, 12:00 noon in the UK on that day, it'll be 4:00 am in California."

([visualfoodie.com](https://visualfoodie.com/2026-pacific-daylight-time-start-end-dates/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The UK will still be on **Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)** on that date (UK switches to British Summer Time on March 29). That\u2019s UTC+0. ([time.tz](https://time.tz/tool/bst-to-pdt-converter/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSince GMT is 7 hours ahead of PDT, 2:00 PM in California is 9:00 PM UK time when both are using daylight time. But because the UK hasn\u2019t moved to BST yet, with it still being GMT, the difference is 8 hours instead of 7\u2014making it **10:00 PM GMT** in the UK."

Go to **Options \u2192 Voices \u2192 Voice Profiles** (via JAWS menu: Insert + J).  \n   ([toptechtidbits.com](https://www.toptechtidbits.com/31.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. Adjust the voice settings (rate, pitch, punctuation etc.) how you like.\n\n3. Press **Save As** to give this profile a name (e.g. \u201cFast Rate\u201d, \u201cSlow Rate\u201d). Choose *No* when asked if it should be the default profile.  \n   ([toptechtidbits.com](https://www.toptechtidbits.com/31.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. Then with the application open, press **Insert + Ctrl + S**, pick the new profile under the current-application list, and apply it.  \n   ([toptechtidbits.com](https://www.toptechtidbits.com/31.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Some Tips and Caveats\n\n- If you temporarily adjust the speech rate (with shortcuts like **Ctrl + Alt + Page Up/Down**), those changes usually revert back when you leave the application or after a period of time.

The profile you create will persist and only apply to the designated application.\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Create an Application-Specific Voice Profile\n\n1. **Open the target application**  \n   Make sure the application for which you want a special speech rate is open and has focus (i.e. you\u2019re interacting with it).\n\n2. **Create a new voice profile**  \n   - Press `INSERT + J` to open the JAWS menu.  \n   - Go to `Options \u2192 Voices \u2192 Voice Adjustment...`  \n   - Adjust the speech settings, especially the **Rate** slider, to the rate you want for that application.  \n\n3. **Save the new profile**  \n   - Within the Voice Adjustment dialog, use `Save As` to name your new profile (e.g. \u201cChrome Slow\u201d, \u201cWord Fast\u201d)  \n   - When prompted whether this should be the default profile, select **No** so it doesn\u2019t become the global default. ([www2.freedomscientific.com](https://www2.freedomscientific.com/news/newsletter-feb-mar10.asp?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Applying the Voice Profile to a Specific Application\n\n4. **Assign the profile to the application**  \n   - Focus back on the application you want the profile for.  \n   - Press `INSERT + CTRL + S` to open the **Select a Voice Profile** dialog.  \n     This dialog has two key areas  \n     \u2022 Default \u2014 which sets the global voice profile used in all apps not otherwise specified  \n     \u2022 \"For\" \u2014 which applies a profile to the current application only ([www2.freedomscientific.com](https://www2.freedomscientific.com/news/newsletter-feb-mar10.asp?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Tab to the \u201cFor\u201d combo box, and select the voice profile you just created.  \n\n5. **Confirm and use**  \n   Once selected, this voice rate (and any other settings saved in the profile) will automatically apply whenever you are in that specific application.  \n\n---\n\n## What Makes This Permanent\n\n- The profile stays saved even if you close and reopen the application.  \n- It applies only in the application you assigned it to, leaving voice settings in all other applications unaffected.  \n- You can always go back and change the rate by editing the profile or assigning a different one.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the version of JAWS you're using (e.g. \u201cJAWS 2024\u201d, \u201cJAWS 2023\u201d), I can provide key presses or menu paths specific to it, in case things moved around or have been updated."
