100 percent disagree. screen readers are more than just screen readers these days. They replace a display for one thing, and if they were just screen readers, then we wouldn't have issues with screen readers saying things that aren't actually there (something I've complained about especially with apple for years). If they were just screen readers, then they would read what is on the screen, and nothing else. They wouldn't attempt to interpret what is read, to say street or saint (in context), they would simply say s t and continue. Neither would they give the option of saying 1 hundred and twenty three or 1 2 3, No folks, screen readers topped being just screen readers a long time ago, and as such, things like your screen reader stopping (or not) when the system goes to sleep even though the screen reader is still active are most definitely a bug. Now, whether it's an os bug or a screen reader bug is certainly open for debate, but nonetheless, it's still a bug, and I for one would definitely like to see it fixed, on IOS, OSX, and in windows as well.

It's more of an enhancement.

Nope, still consider it a bug. There are routines one can call to tell
the computer you're doing something, and there's no reason why jaws et
al can't put said calls into the screen reader so that the operating
system knows something is active, and you shouldn't start the screen
reader. The os manufacturer knows the screen reader is doing something
(after all, it is the one sending the notifications the screen reader is
responding to), so they could easily notify the system not to go to
sleep. Nope, can't agree here, still a bug.

It's not a bug. Windows doesn't know to keep the screen-reader from
coming up because no keys are being depressed. Manufacturers have
said for decades that screen-savers should not be on when using a
screen-reader.

Actually, I do consider this a bug, because as long as my screen
reader is talking, the machine shouldn't go to sleep, it's still doing
something, even if it's not visible to a sighted person.
Apple is bad with this too, and it's something that has irritated me
for years.

I don't know what is happening on your machine but JAWS usually does
stop when a screen-saver comes on and has done so as long as I've
heard about the issue. People should set the screen saver setting to
none. This isn't a bug or anything that should be reported.

because sayAll does not stop after activating screen saver for jaws
users.

Well I always turn off screen savers you don't need them if you have a
short sleep timer or screen dimmer.
For myself I never bother with any power features as such unless I am on
the road.

I think this is a Windows issue. Its one of the first things I turn
off on a computer, I have to say.
It should be in the instructions for installing nvda, I think if its
not already as some computers seem to be set up with an incredibly
short wait period befor it kicks in. Do we really need screen savers
with modern displays?

hello every one.
i remember that recievd some messages in the lists which people told
nvda says unknown in browsers and becomes silent.
i found the solution!
i new the cause before, but i thought that its solved in the newer
versions of nvda, but unfortunately yesterday i realized not!
just find screen saver in the control panel and set it to none.
screen saver causes this problem for nvda and the issue still
persists
unfortunately even in version 2017.2.
did someone report this issue or i should report it in github?
i waite for your help and feedback and God bless you all!
