I believe there’s an add-on, though I’m not sure if it’s from Microsoft or
if they’re scripts for Jaws that give you the ability to use Dictation and voice
controls with Jaws.
If I’m being honest though, I don’t remember if it was a Windows plug-in or
an Office plug-in.
Either way, it’s a free plug-in and I think it’s available through the
Microsoft website, or perhaps David has put it on the Jaws Users webpage.

Subject: [jaws-users] Controlling the PC and Dictating using Voice,
not Keyboard
I am working with someone who can’t keyboard because of
arthritis in her hands. I want to find the most expedient way for her to control
the computer by voice as well as to input documents and in text boxes by
dictation. I know that there are one or two third party programs that allow Jaws
to work with Dragon to both enter text and control the computer. However, she
can’t afford Dragon and another program to make Jaws and Dragon work together.
So I have two questions. First, can you use Jaws with the Windows 7 speech to
text to control the computer and to type documents? Since it is considered a
dictation program, I would imagine you can’t control the PC with it. Second,
does anyone know the URL for subscribing to the NVDA email list? I don’t know
how much you can control the PC with the NVDA speech module, but would like to
find out from the NVDA list. Sorry my second question is a bit off topic. Please
answer the second question off list. My email is
terrieter@...
Thanks for any help you all can give. I really want to see
this person start using the Internet and having email and it breaks my heart
that she just can’t keyboard.
Best,

First, can anyone share the email list subscription link for
the NVDA list? Also,
