Hi all. I have had a huge problem with Freedom Scientific's operating procedures ever since I figured out exactly how much it used to cost them to actually make a Braille N Speak, as opposed to how much they were charging for them. I do, however, use JAWS, except on my Windows Seven desktop where I use NVDA. I'd probably use NVDA firrly exclusively, except it still doesn't have the kind of functionality and stability I need. I'd use another screen reader, except that, being in college, I can get JAWS for cheap or free, and free beats paid, even if you don't like where the free comes from.
Also, I had that problem, where when the script is broken the whole keyboard input goes down the tube. There is a work around for this that depends on people having a hot key to start JAWS. , whh is actually a pretty good idea anyway. If you try to start the screen reader when it's already running, you'll be given the momenbar, especially if it's running from the system tray. When that menu pops up, press x, and you'll be good to go. The dialogue box will opop up,and you can just press enter to press ok, and that'll close out JAWS.
