[Blind-Computing] Monitor is on, but no picture

Dear David, Well, a slight light comes on the monitor screen after I boot up the computer, but it is not enough to recognize anything. When I hold the JAWS key and the number 5 on the number row, it does tell me what colors have printed on doc files and such. To be honest, I really do not

[Blind-Computing] NVDA's Version of Jaws Cursor

2012-01-03 Thread Scorpio Forever
Hi Folks, Does anyone know if NVDA has a version of the Jaws cursor, and if so, how does one go about using it? I don't imagine that the keystrokes are the same as the ones for activating and using the Jaws cursor, so if anyone has any idea how to accomplish this I would greatly appreciate

To my knowledge, NVDA has no equivalent to the JAWS cursor. But you can access hidden objects with a series of NVDA commands. To learn more about object navigation in NVDA, refer to sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the NVDA User Guide, the link for which can be found on the NVDA Help menu. Or

Re: [Blind-Computing] NVDA's Version of Jaws Cursor

2012-01-03 Thread Jacob Kruger
Like other person said, you can use object navigation to move around object hierarchy, using things like NVDA key and some numpad keys, or if you use the physical mouse, it will more often report objects/items under the real mouse cursor than jaws would as such. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind
