BitLocker and Narrator
We are using the WinMagic Securedoc program, which is a full disk encryption package. This program requires the user to log in twice: first to authenticate before
Windows boots up and second, to authenticate to log in to Windows.
JAWS (Narrator application) cannot be used during the first log in because Windows is not truly operational at that point. To alleviate this problem, we have
configured Securedoc to generate a series of tones when the user must enter the user ID and a different set of tones when the user must enter a password. Also, should the log in be rejected at this point, a third sequence of tones is generated to indicate
an error. If everything goes well, JAWS is then able to start up so that the blind user can log in to Windows when the prompt shows up on the screen.
We are now switiching to BitLocker and wanted to know if there is a way to set BitLocker to play a sound when the user is at that screen so they are aware they need
to enter their BitLocker PIN? Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated!

BitLocker does not have this functionality which can use a Narrator to tell user to type the PIN.

Does anyone know of another program that could be used since Narrator will not work?

You keep marking that BitLocker does not function with narrator to tell someone to enter a pin as the answer BUT THAT WAS NOT THE QUESTION!!! Can you please read the question and if you have any IDEA of something that could be used OR if BITLOCKER can be
configured to at least play a beep when it is time to enter a pin, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
PLEASE LEAVE NARRATOR OUT OF IT, IT WAS ONLY AS A REFERENCE. Geesh...
