[nfbcs] Speech on Demand Frustrations

[Nancy Coffman]

Have you talked  to anyone in charge of accommodations? It is a reasonable accommodation to unmute a computer with a screen reader on it. I would keep moving up the chain of command until I found someone with access to the volume mixer.

I was having a problem turning speech off completely when needed. Many Braille display users do this so they can work with their peers in a quieter environment. However, I definitely understand why you would be frustrated with sighted people turning Jaws off. I just wanted to make sure you understood my dilemma. I could not use ZoomText if you paid me, but I prefer Braille only most of the time.
