Thank you for this valuable knowledge. I am sure it will be a pretty interesting experience once I get it today.

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.

That's going to be my primary goal is testing with DNS. I wouldn't want to sound stupid before my teams, while talking to a machine. LOL. Just kidding.

I am so used to using JAWS with a keyboard that I would slow down if I want to say out loud the shortcut keys of JAWS.

DNS will work with jaws out of the box. But i would suggest looking at jsay to get the full experience. If you decide to use dns with jaws on a mlre permanent bases, then look at the other product that jsay provides as it work fully with jaws and allows you to issue jaws commands by saying them

I only use dns home for my testing
