Good luck. Brian Hartgen, of Hartgen Consultancy is a terrific guy. There is
a number in the U.S. to call and he responds quite quickly. Also prompt via
email. My experience getting tech support from Nuance for Dragon is very
bad.

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
