Oh, I have this problem with supernova and my Mum!! Very often, the focus is on something I want but its nowhere to be seen by her on the screen, it drives the pair of us to despair at times!!

Hi George -

This is for looking at web pages. In the past, I have clicked on a link, and
the page changes, and if I say hit letter h for the next heading, what JFW
is seeing and reading, doesn't appear to be on the screen for the sighted
person to see, so I want to be able to have us both see the same thing at
the same time?

Sometimes a sighted person has said to me "what I'm reading is on the left
side of the screen" so how would I get JFW to read that portionof the
screen? -

| Hi all -
|
| Is there a way I can have JFW see the screen the way a
| sighted person does?
| I need to view some screens with a sighted person, but still
| want to hear
| JFW, but when I have tried this in the past, sighted people
| have said that
| what JFW is reading, is not what they are seeing on the
| screen; so how do I
| get JFW to actually read what is visible rather than what is
| off-screen? -
