Hi Trish,
The way I check an approximate download speed is;
1. I start downloading something from Freedom Scientific, Send space, or
someplace like that, where the size of the download is 50 to 100 MB. This
allows time to check the download speed several times.
2. With the download in progress, I route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor.
3. Now, Arrow up 1 time & you should hear Transfer rate, a number with some
letters. To hear it again, , invoke the say line keystroke, Insert + up
arrow. Every time you invoke the say line keystroke, Jaws reports the
download speed of the current download. These numbers will vary from
website to website but, you can get a good idea of what your download speed
is. Or, call your ISP, they should be able to tell you what your download
speed should be. Hope this helped. Take care.
Mike

How do you know what your speed is?

Howdy Jim,
Try the steps below;
the latest version is Adobe Reader X.
You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with
Jaws.
Do the following:
1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The
Adobe
window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences. Another way
to
get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press
Alt
+ E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, & press enter.
3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the
General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General highlighted.
It
is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode
at
startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue.
You need to look at 2 more settings so, tab until you have General
highlighted again.
4. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet
highlighted.
5. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the
spacebar
to uncheck it.
6. Tab to connection speed combobox, arrow up / down for the setting that
best matches your Internet Providers speed.
7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences & save your
changes, & press Alt + F4 to close Adobe.
If I have missed something or if there is something that should be added,
would someone please jump in & correct me?!
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike
