I need to avoid saying that message. any idea

Answer 1

Actually, this is called a tutor message and can't (and shouldn't!) be removed by a web developer. Beginners hear this on each and every button in Windows, not only on the web.
So if you want to suppress this on your system, just turn off tutor messages (in the JAWS main menu, it's the first set of radio buttons in the Basics dialog).

Answer 2

You can do in document ready javascript:

$(document).ready(function () {
   $(document).keydown(function (e) {
            if (e.keyCode == 32) {
                //Here your code to call JAWS
            }
        });
})
