RE: Speech Viewer for JAWS?

I am not aware of one either, but I do know I've frequently wished that 
they did. If I have Typing Echo set on character, those keys are arguably 
part of the JAWS output, but they are is not incorporated into the Speech 
History, whether by intent or technical limitation.

I am not aware of any screen capturing tool which also captures 
keystrokes. This is what you are seeking for.

When I've observed screen reader users in a UX research context, another 
challenge I've run into is not knowing what rapid series of keystrokes the 
user just hit. We have video for touchscreen interactions and screen 
capture for mouse movements. I wonder, can one of these tools record all 
screen reader keystrokes interleaved with the speech? That would be the 
winner, in my opinion.
 
Regarding your last question. As long as the text is getting appended to a 
file in near real time, there must be a way to view it. Something like 
Unix tail | YourTextViewerUtility.

I wish they also had a real-time speech viewer so I can see what JAWS is 
saying during an actual feedback session. Some of my participants are 
super users and use a very high JAWS speech rate. I struggle to follow 
along and comprehend what is being read. A live speech viewer can help me 
follow along and process what the user is doing on screen.

As have previously mention, the /z option which does work in the latest 
version of Jaws saves everything to a log file. Very useful for debugging 
speech. Jaws from 18.0 and later is meant to show you where the cursor is 
in a web page. Not sure if the feature is on by default or not.

JAWS does have a Speech History view, but it only records about the last 
40-50 lines of speech and it isn’t displayed like NVDA’s speech window.
 
If you have the option, you might just want to keep an audio record of the 
screen reader output if not a video record of it. 
 
Thanks,
Tim

I just emailed them Steve. It looks promising. I can’t find a price tag on 
their website but I have a call setup with them a couple of weeks and I’m 
sure they will let me know what it costs.

You could look at JAWS Inspect, which is supposed to do this – I will 
evaluate it when I get some time. It’s not cheap but it could be worth it 
if you do a lot of development or testing.

Isaiah, please have a look at Speech History to see if this is something 
like what you're looking for.

Subject:        Speech Viewer for JAWS?

 
Sorry for the double post – I sent my previous email with the wrong 
subject line!
 
 
NVDA offers a great feature called Speech Viewer which allows you to 
visually see what the screen reader is saying. Does JAWS have an 
equivalent to this? Through a google search, I found a thread from 2013 
that suggested using JAWS Braille viewer. It looked promising but it only 
displays the first 40 characters of what is being read.
 
I am a user experience (UX) researcher and I’m conducting some 
accessibility testing on our site with real users. It would be great if I 
could read and save everything that the screen reader is saying. This will 
help me analyze what users did so that I can make recommendations to our 
creative teams on things they can change in order to make users’ 
experiences more delightful.
 
Thanks!
-Isaiah M. Wright
