Yes, that feature of using NVDA on a memory stick without needing to install a Video Intercept manager is very helpful, even if it needs using a sinthesizer like espeak, but it is helpful only when needing to work on a computer that doesn't have Jaws installed.

Oh I agree with you and sorry it may sound like I am sitting here pushing NVDA but not really, I am just finding personally that it does out perform Jaws in a few things. And if I can get a job done better with a screen reader that is not as good as Jaws but does certain tasks better than Jaws then I choose to use the better screen reader for the job at hand. Honestly using E Speak with Jaws because of its lack of voice controls would drive me up a wall in about 5 minutes but I thought I might show the option was there to use when you found yourself stuck with something. I have found that E Speak sounds a bit better since version 1.26 because he added a bit more base to the voices but yeah using E Speak with Jaws is just too robotic for my tastes. I do however find it much more efficient and less intrusive to a sighted persons computer when they call me for tech support to just use NVDA burned to a cd opposed to installing Jaws on their computer just so I can work on it. Are these alternatives I use something I use 24 hours a day 7 days a week? No, but I do use them for things I find Jaws will not do and the alternatives will do.

I know that. Jaws 7 and 8 also read the romanian special chars even better with WinTalker, another romanian synthesizer which is better than espeak (in my opinion), but I don't like it enough, and I want to use Eloquence.

In fact, I like the English (only) Eloquence better than all other synthesizers, because it can be used at a very high speed, and very clear. There are some synthesizers, considered very good by some english native speakers, but I can hardly understand what they say, like Dec Talk for example...

hmmm, not sure how willing you are to want to try this but I just tested some Romanian chars using E Speak and they did, at least to me seem to pronounce correctly when the E Speak language was set to Romanian. I did not test this with Jaws though because I don't have the SAPI version of E Speak installed. It did pronounce all three pronunciations of A, from my short bit of testing. I will admit I did do this testing in NVDA, and NVDA has a voice inflection setting that Jaws is not going to have so if you use the E speak voice in Jaws it will sound quite robotic. Also not even certain if Jaws is able to recognize those chars in general or if it is actually the synthesizer doing the work for NVDA. If it is the synth that is recognizing the characters though, E Speak may be an option that is open to you.

Just a thought but it may actually be the punctuation level you have it set to. If you are anything like me and have Jaws set to announce as little punctuation as possible, it could be the reason why Jaws is not reading them. If this is the case try setting Jaws punctuation back to either most or even all and let's see what that does.

Thank you for your help.

Jaws 7 and 8 doesn't read well the following chars:

a, s, t, A, S, T

It reads:
a instead of a (a tilda)
s instead of s (degrees)
t instead of t (thorn)
A instead of A (A tilda)
S instead of S (Superscript a)
T instead of T (Thorn)

I remember I've made some changes in the configuration files of Jaws in the past, and some of the letters were read correctly, but the words that contained those chars were not read correctly.

Which ones are you having trouble with and maybe I can try to help you out a bit with it. You can try typing them in an email response and I can see what exactly Jaws 8 is doing with them.

Oh yes I will try. I will try first to see if I will be able to configure Jaws 7 or 8 somehow to read those special chars.

Now in about a 30 second evaluation with NVDA and Komodo Edit. Even with an earlier experimental build of NVDA it does announce that menu items have a sub menu. I did not have the dialog come up again that did on the first run so could not test to see if it read that dialog with the progress bar ok. My conclusion is, it comes down to how well Jaws 6 implimented MSAA support and truth is, it has problems with MSAA. Sorry Octavian but yeah, I might suggest that you look around for an alternative screen reader for instances like that because Jaws 6 is just not programmed well enough to handle all of those kinds of situations.

I just tried Komodo Edit with Jaws 6.2 and in fairness to Octavian it does have a few issues that at first glance could cause problems. Now keep in mind this is only with about a 2 minute glance at things and haven't looked to see how possible it would be to script it for Jaws 6. When you first start Komodo Edit there is a dialog box with a progress bar that comes up, and it was not reading the dialog box nor the progress bar associated with it, so for a person not able to watch the screen it could seem like it is taking forever for the program to start. It may be possible to script for this event if using BX or some other scripting tools other than home row. The menus themselves seem to all read fine but it does fail to give an indication of menu items with a sub menu. Not good, but I have seen applications that are worse. It is pretty easy with a bit of learning the app to figure out that if it doesnt have a hotkey after the menu item name that it could possibly have a sub menu, because if it is one that opens a dialog it does announce the 3 dots after it. That is the best evaluation I could give in two minutes but I hope it does clarify a few things.

The Code menu includes a menu item called Marks. That word certainly suggests bookmark features, which you said Komodo lacked. You could have tried right arrow to explore and then find a submenu with various bookmark commands and hot keys. Further down the Code menu are commands and hot keys for navigating code, which you also said Komodo was lacking. You made at least some of these criticisms after being told that JAWS 6 was substantially weaker than later versions regarding MSAA support. The list of hot keys I posted was available to you in the documentation if you
had looked.

Persistent, unbalanced, and uninformed negativism can, indeed, become irritating. It is not helpful to others to post wreckless and erroneous
or misleading conclusions about applications that have
incorporated substantial investments in accessibility. Such posts may
deter users from trying something that may be beneficial, and may
discourage developers who are trying to serve our needs as well as others. These points are not profound insights but common sense, and repeated
disdain for them suggests ill will to our community.

You told me that the hotkeys for defining bookmarks can be found in the
source menu.
The single reason I wasn't able to find them there is because Commodo IDE is not accessible with Jaws 6 and Jaws 6 doesn't announce that a menu has
submenus, so I didn't know that I need to press right arrow.

(Those hotkeys are not in the code menu, but in the "Marks" submenu of the
code menu.)

Why are you so angry? Because I told that Commodo is not accessible with
jaws6? Or because I am using Jaws 6? Or something else?
