Claudia: If it is a true VPN, you should be just fine. I use one every single day, and JAWS is not affected in the slightest. The problem is that sometimes the term is used loosely to refer to a

Yummy voices?

Hello, I see this quite a bit too, both on the job and in personal use. Sometimes, the files even open up, and when I arrow down with Jaws, it is reading it to me but either word by word or letter

Hello, I have NVDA and use it when Jaws can't read the page or when Jaws crashes. Does anyone know what the NVDA support list's email address is? I have some questions about setting up my NVDA with

Nothing wrong with the right tool for the right job. Both the freebies I know about can be run in portable mode, which could be great for either location or occasional use. Ted

Hi, What is a VPN and will it affect my using Jaws, in any way? My employer is going to give me access to one of these. Thanks. Claudia
