Well I've never had reason to put the later versions of jaws into safemode,
so wouldn't have come across any functionality of that sort.  Was just
curious if you had.

Hi,

Maybe it doesn't.  Window-Eyes certainly does and I thought that JAWS would
have got with the times by now, but maybe not.

All the best

Jaws gives info in safemode?  Since when did it do that,  And how does one
go about using safemode if needed?

Hi Clive,

No screen reader will give you information in Safe Mode except Window-Eyes
and JAWS I believe.  MS should do that I agree.  But you can set up Windows
from scratch, you just can't install it from scratch.  If you want to
activate it though, just press Windows-U and Narrator will kick in.  Get
your Windows up and running then download NVDA.  Job done.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve,

This is a valid point regarding the need for a dedicated screenreader,
provided that Microsoft do more to make sure you can here your computer as
it loads up - say, when it asks you whether you want to run in safe mode, or
tells you about errors encountered during the boot-up process. There's more
to accessibility than just screenreaders though, so the subject does deserve
at least an honourable mention.

Best,
Clive

Hi,

Who cares?  We don't need one.  Just download NVDA.

All the best

Hi all.
First of all want to apologize for cross posting but want to raise an
important question.
For all who have not watched the presentation that Microsoft put out
regarding the win 10 consumer preview this is the audio link.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16617710/videoplayback.m4a
Note.
The presentation is a full presentation without the cutting off of the
question answer session I have only converted into audio so that it becomes
small to download.
The original video presentation is about 1.35 GB In the entire presentation
of about 2hrs 19 min and 23 seconds Microsoft has not discussed on
accessibility or regarding adding a screen reader to windows 10 and I mean
full fledge screen reader.
So now what do we do next.
Although there are some fantastic things in this presentation will not spoil
the excitement watch and see
