Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing the information on the screen before the start up screen?
Although I would have no idea how, it seems with today's technology there would be some type self powered device that could be plugged into a computer to allow us blind folks to read screens prior to a Window's boot, especially in the BIOS Al -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of inthaneelf Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 10:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing the information on the screen before the start up screen? it was/is sort of possible but the items that enabled me to do this several windows versions back is quickly disappearing, and although I think its possible to put together something that could handle this, it has not been done as of yet! sorry, inthane -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Norman King Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 2:43 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing the information on the screen before thestart up screen?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing the information on the screen before the start up screen?
Anything done in BIOS would have to be sent to a third party machine for either brail or speech output. The reason for that is no device drives are present in cmos only video, keyboard and mouse. Now there use to be a few working on speech and print output. But they got told by orgs they asked money from that blind computer tech's would never be. You have to have sight to work on computers to see what your doing. So they quit and locked up all materials for said project. The most interesting part is I know more blind in the box tech's then sighted, and those orgs? Well they don't do much except keep the prices of equipment for the blind as high as possible. There is a asuse board and a gigabit board that is suppose to have boot speech, but it just tells you the post boot and no BIOS.

Now if they mean the boot information. That is not doable. Now if its a new startup or non speaking log in screen. You can use narrator. The keys for it is windows key + u, then wait a few seconds and do a alt + n. This also works on any windows computer vista and up.
