Use the following setting to mute NVDA automatically while the focus is on SpeakOn. Note that this setting is active as long as SpeakOn is running. Each time SpeakOn is started, the keystroke below needs to be repeated.
Start SpeakOn and while SpeakOn has the focus, press:
Desktop: [Shift + NVDA + s]
Laptop: [Shift + NVDA + z]
to put NVDA in sleep mode.
Try out this setting by switching between applications by pressing [Alt + tab]. When the focus is on SpeakOn, NVDA should be muted; when the focus is on another application, NVDA should speak again.
