Yep!
I do agree that a person with vision will be reading a page ahead of your
cursor.
They'll be telling you directions, but you cannot perform a command until
jaws reads it.
But, isn't the jaws cursor high lighted on the screen? I guess not.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Tracking the Virtual Cursor on the Screen
Hi,
I need to work with a sighted person to evaluate a Web site. Unfortunately,
the sighted person cannot see where the virtual cursor is located as I move
through the Web site with JAWS. Often, the virtual cursor is located on a
button, link, or form element beyond the bottom of the window for the Web
browser, so they cannot see the element being announced by JAWS as well.
I believe it is possible to get MAGic to work in conjunction with JAWS to
track and highlight the virtual cursor on a Web page. However, MAGic will
not install on Windows 8, so this is not a viable option at this time.
I know about the "Track Screen Virtual Cursor" options in the Setting Center
for JAWS. This option is enabled, but sighted people still cannot see and
track the virtual cursor.
Does anyone know how to configure JAWS to allow sighted people to track the
virtual cursor on a Web page? FYI, I am using JAWS 15 on a Windows 8
notebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
