Hi G.Braille;
The steps you have posted are correct but, you have to have NVDA & Jaws
running at the same time to do this. I tried the sleep mode thing on my
computer & let me tell you, it was a major pain! You have both programs
yakking at you at the same time. The biggest pain is that you still have to
use the NVDA pass through keystroke to get to the Jaws configuration
manager. Personally what I do is, if I am going to run NVDA is unload Jaws
first then, start NVDA but, there are times I have had to start NVDA while
Jaws is also running and, that is where it's nice to know the pass through
keystroke for NVDA, to get Jaws shut down while NVDA is running. I have
used the sleep mode option in the past with other self voicing programs but,
I don't like using it with NBDA. This is my personal preference and I am by
no means suggesting that my way, is the way others should do this. After
trying the sleep mode with NVDA, I was ready for a snooze as well, on Doctor
Phil's couch!! LOL
Take care.
Mike

What about if you make jaws to sleep? Snoring too! <Smile>
Here is the instruction from jaws configuration.
This dialog is found within Configuration Manager, under the Set Options
menu.
Sleeping Mode
These check boxes are used to turn off JAWS processing within specific
applications. This is generally used in applications that provide their
own
speech or Braille support.
We recommend you do not set this option in Default.jcf, as this would stop
all processing of JAWS commands.
a.. Enable: If checked, this option enables sleep mode, and turns off
JAWS
processing. This check box is cleared by default.
b.. Unload Synthesizer: If checked, the synthesizer is unloaded from
memory, freeing it for use by other applications. This check box is
cleared
by default. This check box is only available if the Enable check box is
checked.
