>From the Tech-VI list owner: 

I wish to express my thanks to the Snowman for taking the time to write
these scripts and for making them freely available. These scripts are
specifically for the JAWS screen reader. Due to time constraints I am unable
to provide any support or answer questions regarding these scripts.

JAWS For Windows Scripts for Temporarily Suspending Braille

  _____  


Suspend Braille


Some braille displays take quite a beating, as their dots dance up and down,
trying to keep up with you as your jump around in a document or application
with your keyboard. In many cases you are busy typing and listening, and are
not even looking at the display. So, the wear and tear that occurred on the
pins in the display was all for naught. You paid a wear and tear penalty but
got nothing for it. And, if your display has a high failure rate, it's
damange you would rather avoid.

this simple script gives you a way to press a hot key, and freeze your
display in place, until you press the key again, or until you do a sayLine
command to force an update.

This free script can be incorporated into your default scritps, so it is
available no matter where you are focused.

Download the following .zip file, and read the enclosed html file for
installation and usage instructions. SuspendBraille.zip download
