Specifying JAWS probably tells it to go into braille display Certainly. But if Raphaël does not have any jaws item in the menu I don't know what should replace it. He might simply try the 4 or 5 items until he find the good one. Hopefully this jaws is not hidden in a cryptic submenu somewhere ... > mode for a PC screen reader. > > What other choices does it have for that setting, and what is the setting > itself called? I do not exactely remember what are the other choices. I know that there was this emulation pc that was not good. In fact I am not at my office at the moement and I cannot verify. As soon as I will be there I will be able to answer other questions. > >> I know : up to restrictions I mentioned above.

But we maybe can see with Raphaël if we may make some tests with mine and his device etc. I suspect that we do not live so far away from each other.
