You could get much the same visually with the WebbIE for Windows text
browser; <a href="http://www.webbie.org.uk/index.htm">http://www.webbie.org.uk/index.htm<;/a><br>
</tt>This will show you fairly accurately what is sent to a screen
reader to be converted to voice so you don't have to guess how to set
up a scripted screen reader like JAWs. Or you could put ear to the <a
href="http://www.nvda-project.org/">NVDA</a> screen reader, a fairly
reasonable approximation of JAWs rendering without scripting, then you
can sit back and hear your pages in nearly the same delivery as JAWs.<br>
