[Tektalkdiscussion] script for jaws to announce messageswhilein a presentation request

[Brian Hartgen]

Just to add to this.
I did produce the scripts, and there were a lot of people who sent they wanted to test them, but I got very limited feedback.

What I will probably do within the next week or so is to publish the scripts on my web site, and then if anyone wants to use them they can.

  chedck the client voice settings under options -> accessability -? speach 
  options.. Uncheck any option that you do not wish to have the ms sapi speak. 
  also you might need to check enable accesssible text chat.

  >> 3. The following keystrokes are available:

  >> A. A keystroke speaks the name of the person who has control of the

  >>
  >> B. A keystroke speaks who entered the room last.
  >>
  >> C. A keystroke speaks who left the room last.
  >>
  >> D. A keystroke speaks the number of users in the room.
  >>
  >> 4. Keystrokes exist to read the most recent chat message, the second

  >>
  >> A. Whether the Talk key is locked.
  >>
  >> B. The name of the person who has control of the microphone.
  >>
  >> C. How many users are in the room.

  >> 5. Pressing Insert+V for the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box allows you

  >> Other options could be added at a later point.
