Tom,

An addendum to the N3FJP.

My earlier version of Jaws did not speak the fields as you tabbed through 
them.  Since I don't plan to use the computer to send voice to my rig, I 
haven't really investigated this option.  But, if you put Jaws on a separate 
soundcard, (you don't need a hardware synthesizer, just a USB soundcard), 
then you can completely disable Kim and use HotSpot Clicker.  I think you'll 
find it would work for you.  Here is a brief note on what it does from 
hotspotclicker.org


HotSpotClicker is a free set of jaws scripts which you can use in 
conjunction with any application to provide increased accessibility and 
convenience. You
can define locations on the screen where mouse clicks need to be performed, 
or where there is information you want spoken, and, if you like, associate
that location with a hot key. When you press the hot key, the click is 
performed, or the information is spoken. You can also create a hot key to 
set focus
on a particular control, and even implement custom tab ordering for 
applications that do not honor the tab key, or override the tab handling 
presently
implemented in the application.

This is especially helpful with applications which do not provide keyboard 
accessibility, where mouse clicks are required, but can also be used to make
keyboard accessible applications operate much more conveniently.

It also contains a means of assigning spoken prompts to controls, similar 
to, but different than the prompt manager in JAWS. This can help deal with 
situations
where you tab to a control, but jaws speaks the wrong label, or speaks the 
incorrect information.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
