To stop JAWS from reading graphics, go to the JAWS setting center with JAWS key+6 (on the number row above the letters). Be sure to do so while in the application where you want graphics turned off. Type the word graphics into the edit box. Arrow down through the options. Tab once anytime you want an explanation.

Then when arrowing down through the page and I stop Jaws tells me the row, column and page number. When I find the link I want jaws is saying graphic rimage link and the nake of the link. All I want said is link and the name of the link. I don't know if that helps any but would appreciate any help. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fernando Gregoire Sent: Friday, July 28, 2017 7:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] To much info being read on web pages and email Hi David, I understand the headaches of switching to a new screen reader. I had to change from Talks to Mobile Speak for Symbian in the past, and now I'll need to switch to a touch screen device. Situation in Windows is similar, not only because different keystrokes for special features you were used to, but for different approaches for interacting with non-focusable objects, that is, those which cannot be reached with Windows standard keyboard commands. Regarding your specific questions, within Outlook you can press INSERT+V to open Quick Settings. Tab to the tree view and you'll find options to specify wetter to automatically read number of links, message headers (From, Subject and others) and message itself. I recommend you to leave the virtual cursor in messages option turned on, to have JAWS to present HTML e-mail messages in a way similar to web pages. Regarding graphics and other info on web page, I'd be useful to know specifically what you would like to stop from reading and how do you want to be read. This is because JAWS options are mixed in many different locations, including the somewhat advanced Speech and Sounds Manager dialog.

I just usedWindow Eyes for over 20 years and so I just didn't think of that information. I am using windows 10 on a 64 byte all in one computer. I am using the most current version of Office 365 I use Outlook email and both internet explorer and mozilla firefox as browsers. Hope that information is helpful.

Whenever you post always include what operating system, what browser or browsers, what email client, , & what version or versionns of Jaws you're running. Also state the program & version, i.e, Office 2010... I'm not trying to give you a bad time, but trying to give you tips on how to get the best answers to your questions. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

I have figured how to set most things up but could use a little help with an issue I can't figure out how to correct. When I open a webpage and move around the links I hear the word graphic before the link or Jaws tells me column, row headers and all that stuff. In email when the message opens it announces how many links, tables or headers are in the message and then announces tables and headers as I read the message. This is driving me crazy. I hope someone can tell me how to go about so all the stuff mentioned above is not spoken Thank you, Dave Crowell For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ --- El software de antivirus Avast ha analizado este correo electrónico en busca de virus. https://www.avast.com/antivirus For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
