Actually, that is not how J-Say and Jaws and Dragon work. You can give a
simple command such as "move down, select that" and this happens. J-Say
interacts with the two programs so that you have confirmation that what you
desire to happen on the screen happened. The purpose of using Dragon is to
negate the need for a keyboard. A Braille display driven by JAWS works
nicely in this configuration as well. There are similarities to the commands
used with Siri. There is also a function which allows you to dictate
something into a text box or clipboard, spell-check and otherwise edit it.
Then you can copy and paste the information in to the document. If you are
blind or visually impaired demonstrating Dragon without JAWS and J-Say would
not be a satisfactory experience for anyone.
