Hi Ted,
Seriously intrigued by the Darci - I used to work with guys who were
doing 40wpm and that was a one-way ticket to the madhouse. Typically the
guys I know in the military were in the mid 20's wpm and that has to be
approaching what I achieve as a 2-fingered typist. Respect.
As to the tuner cards it should be fairly easy to set up a series of
frames to enable JAWs to navigate around the buttons, each frame can be
allocated a keystroke which is active when the tuner is running and then
you'll be away. You may need to get your head around the JAWS cursor if
you aren't already a user to set it up or maybe get some assistance from
a local AT consultant. Scripting may also help but it probably doesn't
need to be that hard. Do you have any examples of the software that I
can link to?
Good luck

Subject: jfw9 and tv tuner cards
Hi there,
I am interested in any information users may have in using HD PC TV
tuner cards with JAWS 9. I have other disabilities affecting my hands
which means that using a small tv remote or telephone keypad or pc
keyboard are impossible. In order to use a computer, I type using an
alternative U.S.B. input device called a Darci. This device allows me
to input via Moorse Code. Using 2 switches in a certain sequence of
dots and dashes, I type any alpha-numeric and special character and
functional keys and mouse or jaws-cursor key functions found on the
keyboard.
I mentioned the telephone keypad. I use Skype now to function as my
primary telephone because I can dial independantly. I would like to
do the same with my television access. As I said, a tv remote won't
work, but I've found U.S.B. and P.C.I. tv tuner cards on some
electronic store web sites. These devices look like they would work
great for a mouse user or with the included remote, but will it work
with the keyboard and/or jaws?
If you, the reader, use a product like I've described with Windows
XP operating system, please tell me your thoughts, experiences, and a
recommendation if possible.
Thanks,
Ted Galanos
