Readers and Games was the Blind Swordsman
Hi Dark,
That's a good question, and I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask.
I rarely use Jaws any more myself. That said, I do know in the
versions of
Jaws I've used I can't just flick speech on and off the way I can

or the way you can
well daniel there are a few synths.
there is a wiki page for all this crap somewhere on the nvda site
but ofcause I can't think of this its something like list of speech synths.
There is espeak, pico which is easy enough to set up, speech hub
which can crash a lot, vocaliser which costs but is

If you use both window like chatting and games JAWS will absolutely work
no need to unload or shut down your screen reader

Hi Ishan,,
I think you missed the point of this thread. Yes, we all know about
putting Jaws to sleep via configuring it in the settings manager, but
what Dark was concerned about was being able to simply turn speech on
and off the way he does in Supernova. What you stated below was what

accurate as possible as people are being entirely too casual about
Hi Ian,
Well, all I can say is I have NVDA 2014.2 and insert+shift+s does
nothing on my system. I don't know what the problem or issue is, but
that command does nothing for me. So based on that is why I said what
I said.
Cheers!

Hi Tom,
Ah, that makes sense then.
I just installed NVDA 2014.2 and insert + shift + S does still toggle
sleep mode on and off for me.
I opened the NVDA 2014.2 Commands Quick Reference.
In the ninth row of the first table of that document I find this:

Hi Ian,
Ah, I stand corrected then. You are correct. I am using a laptop with
NVDA in laptop keyboard mode so that is why NVDA+shift+s doesn't work.
Upon checking the keyboard reference it is NVDA+shift+z which is why
it didn't work for me. So apparently I owe Ishan an apology as it was

Hi Danielle,
Go to
https://vocalizer-nvda.com/?
that's where you can download demos, purchase voices, etc for NVDA.
Cheers!

I thought the command to unload Jaws was insert+f4 not insert+j. Last
time I used Jaws insert+j opened the Jaws main window. Has that

Hi John,
That's pretty much what I thought. Although, it should be possible to
create a Jaws script that enables and disables sleep mode globally
with a single hot key. I've never tried it before, but the Jaws
scripting interface is fairly flexible in a lot of cases to add
features like this as
Hi Tom.
It was really only idle curiosity sinse I certainly have no plans to switch
to Jaws. it's just that as I said I flick supernova's speech on and off all
the time (the key is ctrl )zero).
For example I am currently watching Star trek deep space 9. Obviously I
don't want to interupt
also, I'll add supernova has a scripting language, you can write scripts in
Luaa, although most of the time it's not necessary.
i don't know what sn does with respect to direct x or wthe windows api,
though obviously as I said it doesn't have the keyboard hooks thing.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
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
In a lot of cases, even if you turn speech off for JAWS, you still have all the
keyboard hooks digging into whatever application you're running, and they'll
still interfere. That's why JAWS has a sleep mode. I know there's a way to
simply disable speech, but I don't remember it. It's been seven
I would have given up Windows long before I did if NVDA hadn't come out. I
really like that screen-reader. (yes, I donated LOL). It's easy to play flash
games with it still running, though I haven't tried stand-alone games yet. I'm
an occasional Windows user.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm still on the fence about NVDA. I
would like something other than that almost robotic standard synth it
comes with and when I'm doing surveys it doesn't always display the
screen or even continue functioning especially if my JAWS demo times
out and I launch NVDA.
Hi Danielle,
I don't want to go too far off topic here, but I will say that NVDA
supports a large number of software synthesizers besides Espeak which
it comes with. If you are willing to put forward a little bit of money
you can buy the Vocalizer voices for NVDA which will give you Daniel,
Tom,
Oh okay I'll have to look into it and play around with NVDA some more.
Where do I get the Vocalizer voices? And I'm done with the off-topic
post.
