When I'm having someone sighted look at the screen for me I unload JAWS so
they can use the mouse. This is the only way that I know of to have a
sighted person look at what's there.

Hi Mike,
I'm using Windows 7, IE 11 and JAWS 16.
This is an ongoing problem for us too.
I have Screen Track Virtual Cursor checked and it doesn't seem to help.
When I want to show my wife something on a web page, she inevitably can't
see what I'm looking at. It takes her forever to find my spot; if she
finds
it at all.

Hi Alan & List Members,
From what I've been told, if the, Screen Track Virtual Cursor option is
checked this will supposedly do what y'all are wanting. Here's the steps:
Here you go:
1. Press the, Jaws key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to
open the Jaws Settings Center & then press, Control, Shift, + D, to open
Jaws Settings Center default all applications.
2. Arrow down to, Web / HTML / PDFs, & press the right arrow to open.
3. Arrow down to, Navigation, & press right arrow to open.
4. Arrow down to, Screen Tracks Virtual Cursor, & if this is unchecked
press
the spacebar to check it. If it's already checked press the, Escape
button,
a couple of times to close the Settings Center.
5. If you had to check the, Screen Tracks Virtual Cursor, option tab to
apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your
change & close the Settings Center.
HTH
Take care.
Mike

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS & sighted assistance
Hello,
Hoping for some direction here as my sighted wife and I have
this discussion frequently.
Is there a way for a sighted person to see on screen what I
am doing with JAWS? The only time this is important is when
I cannot accomplish something with JAWS and require a pair
of eyes. I will use JAWS to go to where I need help and my
wife has no idea of what I'm doing or where I am with JAWS
when looking at the screen. Is there any way around this? It
makes getting sighted assistance very difficult.
Best,
Al
