I have noticed the same issue with ruby console programs and jaws. Don't
know what happens with that.

Here is my effort at trying to improve the example. I noticed that the
code proposed on the Ruby list prompted for row and column values
without
informing the user what data is sought. I also noticed that it did not
print the resulting dimensions and contents, which the previous code
did.
My code below addresses these points and avoids defining a separate
function. Oddly, JAWS goes silent during the prompting phase, but
subsequently reads the console screen after the program runs.
Jamal
# Prompt user for number of rows and columns
puts "Enter number of rows:"
n_row = gets.to_i
puts "Enter number of columns:"
n_col = gets.to_i
# Create the table with a random number below 10 in each cell
table = Array.new(n_row) {Array.new(n_col) {rand(10)}}
# Verify the dimensions
puts "Table has #{n_row} rows and #{n_col} columns"
# Verify the contents, seperating each row by a line and each column by
a space
table.each {|row| puts row.join(" ")}
