Hi Al, Well, if you use Jaws instead of OB's speech synthesizers, you can ask questions about Openbook to this list. Other than that, it would be a personal preference, for me anyways. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Just press control + E while in a document. That will put you in edit mode. You're right that in read only mode you can't move character by character. There's also a setting that will tell Open Book to always start in edit mode. I think I'm going to try running JAWS with Open Book though and see what it's like. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Where as in OB you couldn't. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

I've been using Open Book's speech and the JAWS Braille driver. The problem is that Open book no longer will read continuously. Do you find that you lose any information by having JAWS read instead of using Open Book's self voicing feature? Just curious how different it will really be. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B. Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2015 7:13 PM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Sleep Mode, Turning It Off So Jaws Can Be Used In Openbook These are steps on how you can turn sleep mode off or make any other changes in the Settings Center for any program installed on your computer without the particular / target program running. Below are steps using Openbook & turning off sleep mode as an example. When you shift + tab into the application list & find the application you want, you need to tab 1 time into the Settings Center for that application. Pressing enter on the application closes the Settings Center. So, here is how I accessed the Openbook Settings Center: 1. While in Outlook Express I pressed Insert key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Outlook Express Settings Center. 2. I invoked the keystroke, shift + tab, to get into the application list. 3. I pressed the letter O, until I had Openbook highlighted. 4. I tabbed 1 time into the Openbook Settings Center. 5. I Typed, sleep, into the search edit field & waited a few seconds for the list to populate & arrowed down to Sleep Mode ..... miscellaneous, & pressed enter. 6. Now, right here the spacebar needs to be pressed to toggle the options until Jaws reports, sleep mode Disable. 7. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close. 8. Now start, Openbook, & press, Control + F5 to temporarily ttoggle speech off in Openbook. The, Control + F5, keystroke is a toggle, so you can invoke this keystroke to turn speech back on. With speech off Jaws will now be your screenreading program. If you want to make your change permanent, you need to go into Openbook's settings with the keystroke, Alt + G, arrow up / down to, Save the Settings, press enter, tab to the, Okay button, press enter, & press enter on the, Yes, option of the dialogue that comes up. If you don't save the settings, your prior Openbook's default settings will be used the next time you start Openbook, but Jaws will also be enabled. So, you need to put Jaws back into Sleep Mode by following steps 1 thru 7 from above, but the following option in step #6, needs to be changed to, Sleep Mode Enabled & Unload the Synthesizer.
