It is possible Window Eyes already does it.

Randy, You are all welcome to suggest it to VFO, whether it is a big deal to make Jaws speak the characters while they show as stars on the screen is something I can't judge as I am not a programmer,

Well, here I would challenge even the best blind typer, I use complicated passwords with upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols and sometimes for important sites like online banking and so

The characters are spoken as I attempt to find them. VO doesn't usually have time to speak the one I eventually settle on. But the point still remains that if you're using a bluetooth keyboard, VO

I dont think he wants his password in clear text. I think he wants Jaws to echo the characters as he types them. The screen would still show stars and the speech history would also... It really isnt

Randy, I don't think anybody is unreasonable or ignorant here or wants to insult the poster. It does, however, sound as if he does not have any additional disabilities but simply is a two-finger

This is why I said if you're comfortable enough with the on-screen keyboard. It's my understanding that switching to direct typing eliminates that very minor VO speaking thing. The tradeoff there is

OK, that's splitting hairs... The characters in your password are spoken as you choose them. My point still stands that the majority of VO users just type the password as they hear the characters.

What he means is that the iPhone of course will echo the character as you first touch it, once you lift your finger and it is typed it will say bullet or whatever it is it says, but obviously with a

My passcode wasn't spoken when I tested just a minute ago. Yes, the letters I was looking for were spoken as I was looking for them, but again, once I decided to actually enter one, the one I settled

VO speaks the characters I'm moving over if I happen to be looking for the letter I need. If I'm in a password field, VO does not speak the character I decide to actually enter. And yes, if you're

James, Agree. passwords are not spoken, but a passcode is spoken. Dave Oregonian, woodworker, Engineer, Musician, and Pioneer

When you type using VO the characters are spoken how else do you know what characters you are typing? Unless you have some silent way of knowing what character your finger is on I don't see how you

I agree it should be an option to have it make it off by default. You don't know what someone's issues are or their skill level so let's remember that before hitting reply.

Um. My iPhone has never once spoken a password to me. If yours is, that's probably a broken thing.

Sieghard, Agree 125%. Just learn to type your password, regardless of any physical limitations you may have. it's your only defense against intrusion. Sieghard , Dave Oregonian, woodworker,

Again people who use Jaws often have other disabilities that make things hard for them to do... Acting as if they are being unreasonable or ignorant in there wants is not helpful to anyone... If they

Suggest they add this feature.

I think allowing to make the password visible/audible could potentially result in many issues, after all, sighted people can't see it why should we hear it? This is one situation where I think it is

Older versions of JAWS used to have that option. I forget when that changed, exactly, but I think around version 6 or 7. there also used to not be a way to turn that off. My solution to that problem:
