Barry,

Last time I used JAWS and EZkeys together there were some seriously annoying conflicts with JAWS continuously trying to read the EZ keys grid and the screen. However, I was using switch scanning at the time and ended up using a different onscreen keyboard that doesn't (functionally) conflict with JAWS (but still crashes alot!). I haven't tried both together with Morse code yet but will need to do so very soon (for a similiar client here). I'll let you know how it goes.

Regards,

Aejaz

Dear all

I'm working with a chap who has severe visual and motor impairments after a
stroke.

We are having some success with Morse text entry via EZkeys.  My next step
would seem to be to use a screen reader.  I'd be very grateful if anyone
could tell me combinations of EZkeys and screen reader which definitely work
(or don't work).

I'm particularly looking at Jaws, IBM Home Page Reader and Window Eyes.
Already the IBM help tells me there may be a conflict between Eloquence and
ViaVoice, so it may be that the answer isn't straightforward.

I checked the resna archives but the postings seem a bit dated.
