[AI] Help required with JAWS 14 on Windows 8
Hi I have recently started using Windows 8 on Lenovo Thinkpad 420 and as expected there are some glitches that I am facing. Firstly, JAWS is speaking extra, like if enter the folder it gives extra info which is not even fathomable. Secondly, I installed Australian and UK female vocalisers but they are not really great. Can you suggest any better? Thirdly and most importantly; I need to extract data from from some sides, where I need to select a calendar date in a “read only edit box” is necessary. I could deal with it earlier using web ie, an accessible browser, but couldn’t find its version for Windows 8. Therefore, please suggest a way to solve it. I am pasting a sample RBI link where currency rates for a range of dates are required. Please see if you can help me. Sample link for RBI currency spots http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/ReferenceRateArchive.aspx Fourthly, do share a link or a document to optimise JAWS usage on Windows 8. Like avoiding extra talking etc. Thanks and regards Ekinath -- - - - - - - - - - “The waves breaking on the surface draw all the attention, But it is the current beneath the water that determines your direction…” Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

To add word in the JAWS dictionary, do the following: 1. Press INSERT+D to open the JAWS dictionary file 2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to open the default JAWS dictionary file. 3. Press ALT+A to activate the "Add" button. 4. Enter the word in the "Actual Word" edit box. 5. Press TAB and move to the "Replacement With" edit box. 6. Enter another word in replacement of actual word. Press SPACEBAR if you want to silent JAWS for the particular word. 7. Finally activate the "OK" button by hitting ALT+O command. Now coming to the vocalizer voices I have tested all vocalizer voices available on the Freedom Scientific website. But I only fine Tom as better vocalizer voice amongst all.

Re: [AI] Help required with JAWS 14 on Windows 8
Add unnecessary words in the JAWS dictionary to stop JAWS speaking those words which you do not want to hear. Try Tom vocalizer voice. I find this voice much better compared to other vocalizer voices.
