Hi Lil, all you have to do is use your hotkey for Kurzweil or press enter on
the icon for Kurzweil, and the Kurzweil will run. Jaws will go to sleep, and
yes, you can use the braille display with the Kurzweil. I also use the
Kurzweil program, so if you need help just let me know. As far as putting
jaws to sleep, you might want to just shut off the speech, and use your
braille display. Which braille display are you using? I am using the alva
satellite 544. When you just turn off the speech you can still use the Jaws
function. If you put jaws to sleep I don't think you can use all the jaws
fun ction. To turn off the speech press insert plus control plus the letter
s. Hit the end key, and this will land you no speech. Just press enter, and
you are good to go. It is possible to use msn with no speech. If you are
interested let me know, and I will show you how it can be done. If you need
more help let me know. I really like using jaws with no speech, and just
using my braille display.
