Cohn, Jonathan
Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
For documentation, the information in the FS Reader is quite helpful, these are daisy books with both text an speech, so you can review them either way. Yes, you can use any command using just a perkins keyboard, and I believe there are several additional functions keys on the Focus that can make it even easier. Space with dot 8 and a set of other keys act like a prefix to the following keystroke. Dot1: WIndows Key dot2: Option Key Dot 3: Control key dot 4: FN (as in F4) Dot 5: JAWS key So if you type space with dots 4 and 5 followed by “D (THe letter, Mac is saying I put 500 there) ” JAWs will act as if you pressed jaws key and F4, and will exit. For having JAWS only occasionally speak, you want to turn on Speech on demand. You should be able to find this in the JAWS setting center. To open JAWS Setting center, press the JAWS key and the number 6. THen move to the default configuration, with control-shift-D. You should be on a search field at this point, go ahead and search for smart and then change as you see fit. HTH! Jonathan Cohn
