?Well actually, jaws can read the text under the mouse. However, it sometimes does and sometimes not. If you can, switch to magic screen magnifier. It works with jaws. In fact, freedomscientific is the one that makes magic, so no wonder. I have used zoom text a bit before I lost more of my eye sight and frankly it works better than magic. However I found that it didn't played well with jaws.

Hello,

1. Jaws can not read the texts under the mouse, if i understand your question right. 2. In JAWS 11 or earlier, you can mute key pressings for all keys, in the configuration manager, Set options, Keyboard options, Key labels page. In Jaws 12 you can use the Settings center for this setting, you can use the search box, or select it from the tree view.

Best regards,

Dávid

Hi all, I am new to this list and new to Jaws. I am working my way through the training material that came with my installation of Jaws however have a few quick questions about getting Jaws set up.

Until now I have used Zoomtext and for some line of business software at work I will need to continue using magnification and colour adjustment. I downloaded NVDA to my home system and found the additional information it provided to zoom text's speech output useful. This is what led me to getting Jaws.

My first question is how do I get jaws to read out text on mouse over. I am starting to get the hang of using the jaws cursor however I do use the actual mouse as well and need to have text read out when I hover on it.

How can I stop Jaws from saying tab every time I press the tab key. This is driving me crazy and I have searched and searched but just can't work it out.

What tips and tricks can anyone provide for setting up Jaws to be used with Zoomtext.


I have currently got Jaws 11 installed however will be moving to 12 once the installation disc arrives.

I apologize if this was too long however thought it may be useful in getting appropriate help if I provided some background.

Any help gratefully accepted.

Garth
