I also note that work is being done to allow the Windows speech recognition
program to work with some screen readers as well as working to get Dragon
and NVDA to work together. I cannot vouch for any of the work or
functionality with the newer efforts

Check this reference for starters.

All,
Last I checked Dragon works well with ZoomText. Since the screen reader
that comes with ZoomText is not too smart this is a good way to test with
two types of AT.
Sincerely,

Hi, That version of Dragon is fine but you need J-Say in order to use JAWS
with Dragon. I.e. speech input and speech output working together. If your
purpose for buying it is to confirm that speech recognition works and you do
not need to use JAWS, then you should be fine. J-Say is available at

Hi Folks,



I need to buy DNS to manually test web pages and basic Windows applications
as people with disabilities use it. Will this Premium version be ample for
what I need?

on/index.htm



I don't need the Pro and pick legal or any other profession. I just want the
one that those with limited keyboard or mouse access use to control their
Windows environment and the Web.



I also will be using DNS with JAWS 18. Do I have to do any preconfigurations
or simply install DNS and I am good to go?
