Hi, I need to work with a sighted person to evaluate a Web site. Unfortunately, the sighted person cannot see where the virtual cursor is located as I move through the Web site with JAWS. Often, the virtual cursor is located on a button, link, or form element beyond the bottom of the window for the Web browser, so they cannot see the element being announced by JAWS as well.
I believe it is possible to get MAGic to work in conjunction with JAWS to track and highlight the virtual cursor on a Web page. However, MAGic will not install on Windows 8, so this is not a viable option at this time. I know about the "Track Screen Virtual Cursor" options in the Setting Center for JAWS. This option is enabled, but sighted people still cannot see and track the virtual cursor. Does anyone know how to configure JAWS to allow sighted people to track the virtual cursor on a Web page? FYI, I am using JAWS 15 on a Windows 8 notebook. Any help would be appreciated. ________ Darren D. Gilchrist ________ Darren D.
