I like it when a progress bar just zooms by. It makes NVDA sound funny.

I like those sounds too. I always thought it'd be neat if #JFW did that too.

I never understood why JAWS never implemented audible progress bar indicators. NVDA and Window-Eyes included them and I've always liked that capability.
With JAWS, you do have two options.
First, Doug Lee has a free set of scripts to do this called JGauge.

Also, Leasey from Hartgen Consultancy has a similar capability.

In my opinion, JGauge's sounds are a bit closer to what you might be used to with NVDA. Of course, Leasey offers way more features and so is definitely worth paying for.

@robini71 @DavidGoldfield I have demoed leasey. I’m out of demonstration sessions now and have been since before I blew up windows over the summer, but I love the thing and I’m getting it just as soon as I can. Obviously I have to get Jaws first, but you get the point.

@DavidGoldfield @robini71 I didn't know about J-GFauge. I like those audible progress bar notes that you get with NVDA and you got with Window-eyes. I felt that Leasey's weren't quite the same.
