hmm, just tested with nvda and I am able to put it to sleep and wake it up wilst simultaneously using jaws. It seems nvda lets all keys pass, except nvda+shift+z, used to wake it up. ON the other hand, since jaws does not have such a keystroke, there might not be any way to directly wake it up from the keyboard. It might work with a script activated via COM, or directly modifying the application corresponding jcf file.

Does sleep mode entirely disable keyboard intercept?
That might actually work, then, yes. I believe JAWS's sleep mode works
on a per-application basis, so you'd have to set it and forget it as
it were.

 I think bot nvda and jaws have sleep modes, which disable both speech
 and keyboard intercept. for nvda is nvda+shift+z, I don't know if jaws
 has a kestroke assigned. you might need to write a little script to
 automatize it. then, write an external program to handle the toggling by
 sending the corresponding key command.
 Reporting issues to nvda might help, too. I think most info in ms apps
 is gotten via UIA, so nvda should be able to read all what jaws does.

Hi All,



I’m working with VS 2019, and Microsoft SQL Server Integration
Services.



There are things in SSIS that read well with Jaws, and others that only
read really well with NVDA.



Is there any way feasible to run both screen readers at the same time
functionally, but keep the active one muted?



Has anyone ever tried this, or does anyone do this?



I just loose some much time when moving between the screen readers on a
daily basis that I wish I could just run them both.



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.



Best,



Juan
