Re: Using Chat Windows with JAWS 18

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
I had a Plantronics double headset once that allowed me to listen to calls and JAWS. Trouble is, I wound up with a cauliflower ear; at the end of the day I looked like Dumbo. We sent it back, and I now do the same job with a single ear piece.

This is a good discussion. I worked in a call center, and I had to listen to JAWS in one ear, the person on the phone in my second ear, and my boss yelling at me with my third ear LOL! Wow, go figure LOL! David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

That is an unreasonable requirement. Not many people can follow too audio sources at the same time... Not to mention the potential conflicts that running 2 screen readers simultaneously may cause.

Narrator is following the phone/chat system in real time and advising me of what's going on.
