Hi Saurav,
I’ve never attempted this before so can only speculate as follows: Using PC Cursor the window recognized at any given time by the screen-reader will be the active window. It is interesting what exactly is the case using split screens with a different App window displayed on each split screen. In terms of the Operating System, the question is then: which screen is the active window? It appears the screen-reader will read from and interact with that window. I would guess further that since split screens were primarily designed for the sighted, there may not be a keyboard-driven way to choose a different active window except with the regular Alt-Tab. Whether this will switch active windows between split screens is an interesting question, for which I do not have an answer. Presumably you’ve tried alt-tabbing to see if different windows from the split screens change to the active window, yes? And what happened? Still, you raise an interesting case for research. But it does appear that you are asking here how to display both screen splits to the screen-reader as a single window? If so I can’t imagine why you would want to do that, except perhaps for dragging and dropping items using Jaws cursor Jaws key + Control + Numpad Slash. Tell us more.

Basically, you can have two files or windows occupy each half of the screen and sited people can se easily both the windows at the same time without switching tabs. When I did that with NVDA or JAWS, both were reading only one window even if the screen was split. Please do help if anyone knows.
