Whoops, for some reason not all of my message made it. If it was an add on to NVDA, it would be super useful - the argument buy jaws to get a single feature is pretty flawed when we're talking about

Hi, The why part should be pretty obvious. I have had my screen at 0 percent and sighted people can still see it very clearly.

I did not think about the fact that a sighted person can look over their shoulder for prying eyes. That is a great point! Good come back LOL! I like good debates and discussions, because I just

Yes, great point! We must remember that many people do not have a fast Internet speed. The size of a download matters a lot. We are downloading all of our programs now. David Moore Sent from

Screen shade is useful for protecting confidential work information, which we may not know about prying eyes, and a sighted person can see when someone is looking over their shoulders.

Actually I have to agree with Joseph heere. You want JAWS buy JAWS for its features. Its your decision.

Sorry, Gene, but I do not agree with you... 1 - As other member said, remember that the two major "markets" are India and Brazil. In those two countries, specially India, but

As far as I know you can't just turn off the screen in the Windows settings and doing so may cause you real trouble if you can do it. If you unexpectedly need sighted assistance, to deal with some

Most of the extra space in JAWS is taken up by the OCR feature. And JAWS doesn't take a lot of memory, which anyone interested can check when JAWS is running. I'm not talking about when it is used

The reason why I never really took to that option is that there are times where you may need the help of working eyes for reasons x, y or z and next thing you know, you're without speech and now you

Why not take the lead from modern browsers like FireFox and Chrome when considering what’s an add-on and what’s an integrated part of the program itself? Think of it as NVDAZilla… Incorperate

I think we fail to remember how fortunate many of us are with decent internet connections in developed countries. The top NVDA downloads come from India, with a growth of 8000 users

A lot of NVDA users won't ever know enough to know that there are add ons nor how to install them. You are free to remove any add ons you don't want and, for experienced users who understand the

Hi all, One way that has worked for me in the past is to hit windows key + p and then to choose an external display. The screen does turn off. You have to then do this upon every reboot. In

That is an arbitrary distinction. Do you want JAWS to drop all nonessential scripts? I don't think many people would support dropping Winamp support in JAWS. In NVDA, what difference does it make

I agree that we should only have features in screen readers that many people will really need, and will help them do a job. Many features in some screen readers are just not needed. You do not need a

If many add ons are automatically downloaded with the screen reader, won’t that make the screan reader take up more room on the computer, leave a larger foot print, and just make the screen reader

I agree, I think there should be NVDA remote bilt in to NVDA Mark. Tune in to the number one station on the web TAFN radio http://listen.tafn.org.uk:8027/stream Or for our catch up service on

Hi Gene I when i gave windows eyes a test drive was a feature i wouldive turned off. There was stuff or what ever they were called were downloaded to the screen reader weather i wanted them or
