WW> Thankyou for your explanation of the Jaws cursor mode,
WW> cause to tell the truth, and assuming you are correct, it
WW> is the first time Ifeel like I understand what those JAWS
WW> users are talking about!
Willie,
Well, I guess I was a little wrong in my thinking. Some people
really like the features of the JAWS cursor. However, just as many
like REVIEW mode. So, why not both?! humm. food for thought.
You are right about your story of VOS and softvert. You really do need
a review mode which allows you to roam around the screen without
possability of affecting the underlying application.
WW> You know, if the cursor tracking of the speech program is right
WW> on, as it is with Flipper (Sorry Doug, but I ain't got
WW> Vocal-Eyes....yet!) there just isn't any need ot go into screen
WW> review or anything else when answering prompts, filling out
WW> menu selections, etc.
Willie, you and I know how to fix this little problem! Getting Vocal-Eyes
that is. but your thoughts are correct. With todays screen readers
you don't have to rely on screen review mode like screen readers of
the past. The problem is, as screen readers get smarter, applications
programs get more difficult.
Thanks for your thoughts Willie.
Doug

Thank you... so simple, and obvious! Oh well. Now, can I break myself of the other sequence? -- Gary Campbell campbell%hpdmd48.BOI.HP.COM@hplabs.HP.COM

Gary, I use jaws as well and felt that I also had to press the jaws key
first before routing Jaws to pc, oh well. If you have any other tips
that you might know of, please let me know. One that I can think of
right off the top is how do you do a quick search of the screen?
Please remember that I am a beginner at this and am relatively new at
computing as well. As soon as I receive my money back from Omnichron,
I expect to have a registered copy of Jaws 2.
