On the INternet or during SayAll JAWS will attempt to scroll the page
itself, this is the reason that sighted people have difficulty with JAWS
never mind things like forms mode on the Internet.  Even at this late
stage of the game with JAWS we still get the odd "so called" trainer of
a visually impaired client ask the question why they cannot type into an
edit box on the web.

Just what is the relationship between how jaws reads and what appears on
the screen.  My children have always turned off Jaws when they used my
computer.  They told me because I listen to Jaws at an extremely fast
pace they were unable to read what they chose.  They said they could
read better and scroll better with jaws off.  Is this true?
