When my wife needs to see something on my screen, I simply unload the screen reader.

There are commands to bring the two cursors together but as far as I can tell while they do generally (if not always) relocate a cursor to the other one they do NOT change what is shown on the screen. So afraid that doesn't seem to help our sighted assistants. In fact I have moved what Jaws calls the Jaws or mouse cursor and been told that the mouse cursor had not moved at all. So what precisely Jaws does when that "cursor" is being manipulated is a bit of a mystery. >From simply wanting to share something one is looking at, to really needing to have a strange behaviour explained, not to mention helped to accomplish a task, not being able to view the same portion of screen is a major issue to any Jaws user attempting to work with a sighted person!
