Pablo, I only use the touch screen for the password if I cannot get my
Bluetooth keyboard to respond or when I forget to turn it on, <grain>.  But
even using the regular Bluetooth keyboard, it is not easy to focus on the
password entry field.  I don't know if it's a focus issue with Jaws or
Windowsd-related.  It would be interesting to know if other screen readers
encounter the same issue.  In summary,it's a generic problem, not related
just to the touch screen.  I'm also using a Surface Pro Three running
Windows 8.1.

Subject: jesters using jaws 16 and jaws 17

Hi all,

I am working very hard, just trying to understand better how use the jesters
with jaws 16 and jaws 17 in 2 different tablets. Both tablets are Microsoft
surface pro 3, and one is using windows 8.1 professional, and the other is
running windows 10 professional also.

I read the FS manuals about using touch screen with jaws, but I need to make
sure that the following situation is a jaws problem, or maybe something else
that I don't know.

On the tablets, when we are starting or restarting the tablets, the first
screen that will appear is the lock screen. Jaws is going to find here the
time, battery and the warning saying that screen locked.

To go to the logon screen, we need to flick up 3  fingers. Jaws is going to
say, log on. But here some times for some reason, if I flick left or right
to find the text box where I should type my password, Jaws reads the
controls, buttons, links, and the text box, but we are no able to place the
pc cursor on any control. I mean, if I flick until the password text box,
and I do a double 1 finger tab, for some reason the virtual keyboard  will
not show. Ok, we  are able to open the virtual keyboard sliding 3 fingers up
and down, but looks like the pc cursor is not on the text box, because
sliding 3 fingers up and down, the virtual keyboard doesn't open, and looks
according with my wife, that jaws is reading things that doesn't appear on
the screen. It means for me that jaws is no moving the screen up to the
login screen, or it is how it looks.

How do you using the touch jesters are able to login in your tablets?

Thanks

p
