HI,
I always find it easiest on any PC i use to set up a shortcut key to
launch the speech software; typically I have JAWS Thunder and NVDA so
set up a differnt key combination for each, useually Alt plus Control
plus the respective first letters (N for NVDA, T, for Thunder, J for
JAWS).
In XP at least you can do this, I guess you can set it up fairly
easily on win 7 and vista too.
In order to set up the shortcut, I navigate through the start menu, to
the program group for the screenreader concerned, and when on the
appropiate item to launch the screen reader, you hit the applications
key and bring up properties, from in there, I think on the first tab,
is the area to enter the key combination to launch the application
concerned. Of course you could use this for any other applications
too, E.G., to launch commonly used bits of software; just ensure the
key combination you pick isn't something that will conflict with
another application, most especially for me this is trying to remember
not to use a key combination that is used by JAWS in any scripts or
hotspots I use with JAWS.
