Hi, I would greatly appreciate if you have any notes on getting JAWS to work better with DOS applications and if you could pass these on to me.
Many Thanks, Charlie. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of inthaneelf Sent: 30 November 2012 06:15 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Using A DOS Application I don't know if you got any replies, but I did have some notes on improving jaws working in a command and/or dos window, I'll go look and see if I can find any of them for you, and we can hope they still work in j 14. it was a very basic change that corrected a lot of troubles so it should still work. inthane -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Nicol Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 2:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Using A DOS Application Hi, I Wonder if any of you can help? I am currently using the latest build of JAWS 14 with Vocaliser voices. At work, I need to access and support an old MS DOS application and am having trouble getting JAWS to speak menus, forms, fields etc., within the application. I used to run a DOS Screen Reader many years ago, however, it was dependent upon a hardware speech synthesizer. Is it possible to run a package like JAWS For DOS on a PC, alongside JAWS 14 and, if so, how might I go about this? Would JAWS for DOS work with a software synthesizer? Alternatively, how might I configure JAWS 14 to work better with a DOS application (DataEase Database Software), or are there any scripts out there which might help? I know that JAWS works fine with the Command Prompt in WINDOWS XP, however, this is pretty rudimentary. I contacted Freedom Scientific but they cannot offer any support. They suggested contacting some of the user forums for advice. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, realising that some of the younger community on the list may not even know what MS DOS was.
