[NFBCS] jaws zoom key

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

For any fairly recent version of JAWS, you can use a layered key sequence, Insert-Space, followed by S. The advantage of doing this is that the alerts continue to come through on a braille display without disrupting the audio. The Windows-Alt-A keystroke silences all alerts in braille and in speech, and only within the Zoom program.

        hello.  I had some success with NVDA and Zoom in this regard.  I used
NVDA-S, which toggles speech mode through various settings.  I still have
to endure the arrival and departure alerts when I want to use Zoom to do
something, but if all I'm doing is listening to a meeting, then this
functionality works.  This key is like turning speech off on VoiceOver, that
is, VoiceOver is still running, but it doesn't talk.
Not sure if there is an equivalent command in Jaws.  It would be nice to be
able to silence the alerts without having to turn the voice off completely,
but it's a start.
-thanks
