Re: [AI] Giving Presentations: Checking visibility of text on screen and scroling accordingly?
Hi Amar, Well I'm not aware of any feature in Jaws as such, but I guess there's one in Dolphin Supernova, wherein the text at the cursor location gets highlighted. Talking about an alternative method for Jaws users, what I usually do is highlight the text I am referring to, which makes it easy for the sighted person to locate the text on the screen. This may not be a very good idea when it comes to delivering formal presentations though.

Dear Accessindians, I am refering to a situation where the screen reader is able to read the content of screen, though not necessarily the content of screen is visible to a sighted person unless we scrole down or up according to the place of the text in the document. It is also a fact that visibility of the content on any screen depends on the size of the screen. It becomes important when giving any presentation, or when showing anything (web page) or (pdf) on screen to sighted person, to make sure that the particular text / column you are talking about is in focus on screen and is available for them to view. Is there any feature in Jaws to see whether the text which you are talking about is visible on screen currently or not, and whether you need to scrole accordingly or not? Or, can we define the size of screen in Jaws so that when in a document the matter reaches that defined size, Jaws alerts you to scrole down? Using jaws curser and any feature associated with it is not a comfortable idea. Can anybody suggest any workaround if the feature doesn't exist? Looking forward for healthy discussion.

Re: [AI] Giving Presentations: Checking visibility of text on screen and scroling accordingly?
can you please tell which program you are referring to? because, most of the times, since jaws uses off-screen model to get its textual content, many times what jaws speaks is visible on the screen. if any part of the screen is not visible, jaws normally would not read that portion. the exceptions are reading html or PDF. here jaws does not get the content from the screen. instead it takes it from the original html code or similar portions of the files.
