Mike:

These are great thoughts and suggestions.

If I get time between now and next week-end, I'll try to call FS and see
what they might suggest.

I don't know if Scott has tried out his software with a Jaws demo, although
I think I might have heard Kelvin mention that he did.

It would indeed be interesting to see if the problem replicates itself with
NVDA, or System Access, but once again, I may have to wait till later to try
those things.

Anyway, I'll continue working on this as I get time here, and will certainly
let you know if I find out something that might be of benefit to you and
other list members.

Subject: Jaws Reading County Field Incorrectly

I have had similar issues with Jaws and some other programs. I think I also
had that issue, or something like it, in the CQ WPX version of the N3FJP
software.

I finally just decided to ignore it, and hope it read the same wrong way
every time, which it must have done.

To me, it is almost like something has gotten stuck in a memory somewhere,
and Jaws can't get whatever is stuck there out of its head.

That would be a question for the Freedom Scientific tech support people.

I don't know if Scott has tried the programs himself with the demo versions
of various screen readers, but you might want to ask him to load a demo of
Jaws, and give a listen to the particular problem you are having.

You might try loading the web version of System access, or installing NVDA,
and see if it behaves that way with either of those screen readers.

NVDA is a little sluggish about responding to typing, but it works well
enough.

The web version of System Access is at www.satogo.com.

I ran the N3FJP Field Day log on an old XP laptop, using the thumb drive
version of System Access, and that too worked fine despite the slow ten
year-old laptop.
