NvDA does have an add-on that will do this. -----Original Message----- From: Gamers [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, July 25, 2014 9:01 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Screen Readers and Games was the Blind Swordsman
Hi Dark, Yeah, I understand that. I certainly had no illusions about you wanting to change screen readers. However, the basic thing I wanted to say is that there isn't a quick and easy way to switch speech on and off in Jaws the way you can in Supernova. Come to think of it I'm not sure there is a quick way to do it in Window-Eyes either without specially assigning a key for that purpose. So all and all I think Supernova is a bit unique in its built-in ability to switch speech on and off with a quick and easy keyboard command. The only other screen reader I can think of that has a similar feature is NVDA. Cheers!
