Hi all,
Using jaws 12, on a windows 7 laptop.
I'm so frustrated right now, I could scream!
I've got enormous work deadlines.
With jaws, here's the problem. I'm having to select some texst, and so I
go into the article and while I'm reading it, I'm selecting text, not
alot, but just a bit of text.
Then, I go to paste it into the questionaire, and the darn thing doesn't
paste all of it in. It just pastes it in bits and pieces!
So, then, I tryed NVDA.
However, NVDA has it's draw backs too:
1. When I press capslock down arrow, or, insert down arrow to read the
rest of the article, like I can do using jaws, this darn thing only
reads 2 lines and stops.
Then, the other frustration with NVDA is, when you select text, word by
word, this darn thing says "selecting" whatever word, which takes an
enormous amount of my time, and seconds count right now!
I don't want the thing to say "selecting", then what word it selected, I
want it to say just the word that it's selecting, then the word
"selecting, just like jaws does it.
Another frustration with NVDA is, you know how jaws will let you append
to clipboard? NVDA won't let you. You can try all you want to, and hit
windows key c, and nothing gets appended to the clipboard.
Folks, I'm under extreme deadlines here.
I've got so much crap going on, and people want what they want, and
lives are depending on what I do, in so many ways.
I don't have time to play footsy with 2 pieces of crap screen readers,
(at least that's what I am thinking.
I do have a question for you mac users. Do any of you folks have these
specific issues on the Mac, which I just mentioned earlier?
