Hi.
I do get you can configure jaws to stop working for particular programs,
what I meant is what do you do say if you want to read one specific thing in
a program but want the screen reader off most of the time?
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
In Jaws you can go into the config manager, I think it is called
settings manager now, and configure Jaws to sleep when a certain game
or application has focus. So if you were in Tank Commander you could
configure Jaws to sleep while Tank Commander has focus but the moment
you switch to Notepad, Thunderbird, or some other application Jaws
will wake up. Its not really a big deal. Just requires a little
knowledge how to create custom settings for specific applications.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
Thanks for the technical explanation. It just sort of amuses me that if
you
look in the manuals for games developed by developers who presumably have
only used Jaws, --- such as the Gma or Bsc games, they always say "unload
your! screen reader! before playing" clearly based on the idea that all
screen readers work the way Jaws does with that specific keyboard hook
you
mentioned.
One thing I do wonder is how do you do sort of minimal interactions with
jaws? say when you want to come out of something and send an E-mail and
make
a note, or when your opening a new folder in a media playing program,
then
going back to listening and using the keyboard to play, pause, wind back
and
forward etc.
It's actually something I've always wondered about with jaws sinse I
flick
supernova's voice (and occasionally keys), off and on all the time.
Beware the grue!
