Nvda works in a full screen command window.  To tell you the 
truth, the
reason i submitted the bug to Freedom Scientific is that it works 
in nvda.
For years I've ben switching to nvda to run apps in a full screen 
command
window.  But that's a PITA.

I expected FS to tell me that they were aware of the problem and 
would put
the fix on their wish list.  But I think they're giving me a run 
around
instead.  But like I said, I don't want to jump to any 
conclusions.

Does everybody know what nvda is? Its a fre, open-source screen 
reader.  Its
pretty darn good too.  I don't know if I'd put it in the same 
class as jaws
but in some ways, its better.

 In fairness, I'm not sure *any* screen reader works in 
full-screen mode
 although I haven't used them all so my word ought not to be the 
last on
 the subject and, knowing this list, I hazard that it won't be.

 John, what version do you use?
 If I were you, I'd talk to the freedom scientific guys, in 
person.
 They should be at convention, this year.
 Are you going?
 Blessings, Joshua

 hi,

 you are correct, even after switching to say all, nothing is 
spoken with
 the
 screen maximized.

 All,

 I'm having a problem with my jaws screen reader.  I submitted a 
bug
 report
 but Freedom Scientific tells me they can't reproduce the bug.  
My
 experience has been that all version of jaws have had this 
problem and
 it
 happens on every computer I've ever tried it on.  So I was 
hoping other
 users of jaws could tell me if they can reproduce the problem.

 The problem is that jaws can't read text in a full screen 
command
 window.
 A command window is the way Microsoft Windows lets you ttype in
 commands
 sort of like the old days of DOS.  If you use jaws I think you 
may be
 able
 to reproduce my problem by doing the following:

 1.  Press Windows+r to open a run dialog box.  Jaws should say 
"Type the
 name of a program etcetera" Type the word command and press 
enter.  That
 should open a command window.
 2.  Press Alt+Enter to make the window full screen.  At this 
point, if
 you
 type a command like dir or help, text will be displayed on the 
screen
 but
 not spoken by jaws.  Or at least that is what it does for me.
 3.  Put the window back to normal size by pressing Alt+Enter 
again.  Now
 when you type a command, jaws will work correctly and read the 
text
 that
 is displayed.
