That should be possible just by setting key echo to None. If you want
it field-specific, you'll have to write code that figures out what
field the cursor is in and adjusts that setting accordingly. Years ago
I also put out a "squelch" module that made JAWS say "star" for the
characters typed in fields against which the module is applied. I
believe that approach used the KeyPressedEvent and speechOff or
stopSpeech or something like that to get the job done.
Of course turning Key Echo globally off will lose you more key speech
than you had in mind, and even if you script a way to make displayed
typed characters speak, chances are this combination will cause a
sluggish feel - delayed key echo, sometimes echo of several keys at
once as part of a pronounced word, etc. So if I were doing this, I
would want it to be field-specific, even though that's more work.

Hi,
I would like to write a script for openSsh for Windows that will keep jaws
from speaking the characters I type while entering passwords. It should be
easy to do because the character will not appear on the screen. If the
cursor doesn't move or if the terminal program, openSsh in this case, does
not echo the character back to the screen, jaws should not speak it.
