Hi Vince,
You do need at least a cursory read of the online manual to get familiar
with the concept of Browse Mode (Window-Eyes), and Virtual PC Cursor Mode
(Jaws). When you come to an edit box, in both products, you must press
enter before you start typing, to enter Forms Mode (Jaws), or turn off
Browse Mode (Window-Eyes), otherwise in both cases, the keys that you type
will be commands.
Please refer to online help for both products for more information.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Screen reader demos
Hi everyone,
I'm trying the demos both of JAWS and Window Eyes.
Much to my surprise, JAWS at the moment seems to work more the way I do than
Window Eyes does, but with both programs there are similar problems to a
complete novice like me.
Firstly, neither of them let me log in anywhere. I get to the text box to
put in my login name, and both programs seem to take all my keystrokes as
commands, or tell me they're invalid keystrokes.
Secondly I'm not sure how to get either of them to read a whole page or
document, some of which may be off screen. They have both dumped me at the
end of a lne or at the end of a screen.
I'm sure there's a simple answer to these things, but in a demo lasting only
minutes, it's a bit difficult to sort it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And hope you're having a good Easter!
Vince.
