[Blind-Computing] Hearing sender in Windows Live with JAWS 14
Hi I am using JAWS 14, Windows 7, and Windows Live Mail. For some time I have been puzzled that at work the windows live program announces the sender along with the subject line and date. On my laptop at home, it only announced the subject line and possibly the date. Well, today I found that by doing an alt V, and tabbing to message list, I could check the show sender and subject in same line. This makes going through a list of E-Mails much faster. I thought I would share this, in case someone else was having the same issue. God bless, Mark God loves You!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Making and printing bulletins in MS Word 2010
Hi Mujtaba: Well, actually I tried tabbing through the printer options and changing a few settings. However, I never quite get everything correct. By using the JAWS cursor I found a spot on the screen that said that the system is set for left edge binding. I need the binding to be set in the middle of the page. That way I can fold the bulletin. The trouble is, when I click on the binding settings, nothing changes. Any ideas on how to change this? Thank you. God bless, Mark God loves You!

It should be under the Page Layout tab under page set up option, make sure that it is set to portrait. Which means the page is vertical in position. Printing the pages in order should not be a problem. Alt + F to get to the word options menu, under print you just hit enter there. You will get a dialog box for the print options. Select the ones you want like pages per sheet 1 etc. Make sure you have the right size of paper loaded in the printer e.g. A4, which is the normal letter size page. Rest you need to tab around and come to the print button and hit enter. Suggestion would be that you practice this with sighted assistance first few times. Then when you are all set to go, you can do it yourself without any assistance.

Re: [Blind-Computing] USB sound
Hi First, one can go in to the windows media player settings and tell it to automatically rip any cd you play. That is how I set mine up. Next, I go back in to the settings and tell windows media player to only rip music to the MP3 format. There is also a setting for the quality of music file you like. I usually set mine to 100%. On the USB device. You will need to tell JAWSwhich audio device to use. After that, when ever you plug in the USB device, JAWS will know not to use it, and keep using your normal speakers...

[Blind-Computing] Getting Computer to Recognize Drivers
Hi I am trying to get my work computer to recognize the printer/scanner/fax machine. The computer is running windows 7, and the unit I am trying to connect to is a canon image runner 2525 or 2530 depending on which place I am looking at for information. Anyway, it is a wireless networked device. How people have previously used the scanner is to access the touch screen to tell the scanner where the scanned image should go. This of coarse is not working for me as a blind person. Thus, I am trying to access the unit from the computer. I brought up the basic fax and scan program for windows which told me that there was simply no scanner or fax machine connected to the computer. On double checking the drivers, I found that there are no scanner/fax drivers installed. So, I went to the canon website, and after finding the driver down load page tried to locate the scanner drivers. All I can find are the printer and fax drivers. I tried to install the fax driver. However, even though I can see that the driver is installed, the windows fax and scan program still does not recognize it. I have two questions. First, how do I find the driver to install for the canon scanner. Second, how do I get windows to recognize that it has a driver for a fax machine installed? It seems to me that if it cannot recognize the fax driver, it would not recognize a scanner driver either. Any help is appreciated. God bless, Mark God loves You!

Re: [Blind-Computing] I need help with my Gmail account please?
Hi I am not sure if you are accessing your Gmail online or through an E-Mail program. It sounds like you may have created a filter. Usually if one creates a filter it asks which types of mail you want to filter, and then asks where you want the filtered messages sent. You can even have messages automatically deleted. Another possibility is that you may have told your E-Mail program to make the deleted items folder your primary folder. I recall seeing a setting on one of my E-Mail programs where I could select a new folder for my main folder. Presumably one can choose the deleted items folder as their new main folder. Smile.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessing My Router
Hi I could be wrong, but the only way I know of to be completely certain of getting the router brand is to ask a sighted person. Once you have that you can search the web for the IP addresses used by the manufactorer. Sometimes the mottle number is not clear even to a sighted person. One trick to find the brand of router is: if you have your wireless on your router turned on, look in your wireless connection. If it is lleft in the basic format, it will say something like 2wire 482. Where 2wire is the brand and 482 is the mottle number. If you are lucky and are able to find this information under the wireless connection. it makes searching for the IP address faster. I hope this helps.

[Blind-Computing] How to Use a Network scanner With an OCR Program
Hi I have been searching the internet for an answer for this question, but no luck. I would like to use a program like text cloner PRO at work. However, text cloner like most OCR programs looks for the default scanner driver. Since the system of computers at work uses a network scanner, there are no drivers installed on my computer. Thus, I am dependent on someone else doing the scanning, and sending the file to me to have the OCR program convert it. It seems highly inefficient. How do I go about directly accessing the scanner from my computer? It is a canon wireless scanner as I understand it. The computer is windows 7, running the latest version of JAWS.

Re: [Blind-Computing] scanners
Hi I use a hp Scanjet 5000 as I recall. I bought it when I was attending the university. Thus, I had more money back then. Smile. What I aspecially like about this scanner is that it can scan up to 25 pages double sided a minute. A wonderful help when converting textbooks to computer files. I wish I could get it to connect to my windows 8 machine. I am still working on that. One thing I am particularly fond of is that HP has image to text conversion software one can install at no extra charge. It seems that sighted people like this feature also. It was a little challenging as a blind person to set it up. However, once it was running the results were good. I hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Flexible Web Info
Hi Fred, Well, I am always glad to help out. The main concept behind flexible web is that one can train JAWS to ignore unwanted information on specific pages, or that you can skip directly to the section that you always want to start reading at. One good example of a page with a lot of extra content is the MSN search page. The one place I ran in to trouble is that one must explain to the program that the settings apply to a specific page, and not just to all web pages. After I figured that out things went much better.

One way to see if your charger is plugged in is to pop the battery out while your computer is plugged in. If your computer stays running, you are definitely connected to wall power. A second issue I have run in to is when something happens to the charger. I have managed to break the cable on several chargers. It never hertz to have a second charger just in case.

[Blind-Computing] Restoring Access to uSB Sound Cards?
Hi I was installing skype on my windows 7 32 bit computer. I am running JAWS 13 on this computer. Skype could not find the right sound card. So, I removed the two other USB sound cards from the list of available cards. I actually uninstalled them. Now my USB VOIP device Magic Jack will not work. I unplugged and replug in the magic jack hoping that somehow it would rebuild the driver. Yet, no sound card setting has appeared. What should I do next? Any ideas are appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Compiling scripts
Hi Maria, The easiest way to compile a script it to open the application that it is associated with. This will load the appropriate scripts. Then, Press the jaws key plus f2. Next, press S. You should land on the script manager. Just press enter. The manager will open and you will be able to see the actual script written in scripting language. Do an alt F to open the menu. Then arrow down to save, and press enter. This should compile the scripts in the current Jaws version. However, I have noticed that when one brings up the keyboard manager in JAWS 14 beta, it doesn't always show the keys associated with the application. This is true even though the scripts appear to be compiled properly. I am waiting to see what the final release of JAWS 14 does about this. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

That would be Row 1, Column 1. The first row is likely a number of headers. You should be able to use the arrow keys to travel down the column or across the row; stopping in each element. Also, using the TAB key will move you to each succeeding element. For example, if there are 6 columns and 8 rows, continually using the TAB from Row 1, Column 1 should take you to Column 2, Column 3, Column 4, Column 5 and Column 6; using the TAB in Row 1, Column 6 should take you to Row 2, Column 1, etc. Using SHIFTTAB will cause to navigate up the table. Once you find yourself in the middle of the table, using the right and left arrow keys will move you along the row; using the up and down arrows keys will move you up and down the column.

Hi Mike, You could possibly do this through JAWS scripting, if you are using the JAWS for windows screen reader.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Keyboard Re-Mapping Program
Hi
I get tired of trying to remember all the different exit commands from
different programs. Also, I always want to land back on the desktop. So, for
every program I create an exit script, and tie it to the short cut key
control + shift + X. I pasted the contents of my exit script for MS Outlook
below.
{alt+f4}
Pause ()
TabKey ()
Pause ()
TabKey ()
Pause ()
TabKey ()
{Alt+Y}
Pause ()
{windows+m}
Now, I have no idea why I had to add the tab commands to make the script
work. However, As long as it exits the program, and sets me on the desktop I
don't really care. Smile. If you are interested in making your own exit
command keys, or other short cut keys, feel free to use my code as a
starting point.
Happy coding.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Hi Mike,
You could possibly do this through JAWS scripting, if you are using the
JAWS for windows screen reader. However, although there is a list for JAWS
script writers, they prefer that one has some fairly advanced skills before
one is allowed to ask questions on their list. Evidently my skills did not
cut it. Smile. Still changing key stroke assignments using JAWS scripting
might be a fun project if you have extra time to work on the project.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Turning off the mouse pad
Hi My Hp 6000 has a physical button also. However, my acer is well basic. It assumes that I want the mouse pad on.

Many of you out there are well aware of the fact that I share my time and skills quite openly but then I run into a problem. It turns out that when I do that for too many people then things in my little corner of the world suffer from lack of attention because too much time has been spent helping others. Some times I receive compensation but often enough I do not even when it is understood from the start that I am expecting it for services rendered. That means the person in question no longer gets help from me. The fact is people are over anxious to take advantage of anything free and even feel that they are entitled. So much that they will over use anything for free but the minute a price tag is inserted in to the mix they want nothing to do with it. I agree that over charging is not an acceptable practice and a job well done should be rewarded. The fact is $0.21 for all the more often you need such a service is well within the reach of every person blind or not. If you have an internet connection and can afford one of the major screen readers then you can spare $0.21. Look at it as a small price to pay for a work around. I am willing to bet that at such a price for all of those little boxes that has ever crossed my desk I might be out at the most $1.05. Can you say candy bar? I don't want to start a major debate on here but I just wanted to give my thoughts on the matter from the perspective of somebody who has been over extended far too often in the name of charity.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Window's 7 Sounds
Hi I usually just press enter when Jaws is sitting on the volume slider. This also exits the volume control. One other thing. If you want to adjust the volume of a specific program, such as internet explorer, you need to have the program open when you are setting the volume control. Windows adds and removes the programs from the volume control as they are opened and closed. This has caused me much consternation. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

You can by an inexpensive signature guide, or just have the person at the counter set the credit card at the bottom of the signature area. This works for bank papers, and other documents. There is no reason to have a sighted person on your account with you unless you want them to be. Now then, the above part has little to do with computers.

[Blind-Computing] Magic Jack and wrong Computer Date?
Hi I had an interesting problem that appears to be resolved now. I have a magic jack unit that one plugs in to the computer and you plug a phone in to it to make phone calls. Suddenly it stopped working. I had been out of town for a few weeks which was long enough to let the battery on the laptop drain down. While trying to trouble shoot the problem on the magic jack, I found that the computers date had been reset all the way back to 2006. When I corrected this issue, Norton's decided my subscription was 2000 days overdue. Thus, I needed new anti-virus. I removed Norton's and installed Microsoft security essentials. After all this, I did a manual start of the magic jack unit. Wow, it is working as well as it ever did. I just wanted to remind folks that if you have strange computer issues that don't seem to be resolvable through the normal ways, try checking the date and time settings.

Re: [Blind-Computing] How to fix broken USB plug on external hard drive
Hi John, and Jacob, Well, I just completed dissecting the hard drive before reading Johns E-Mail. John, you are right in that the Minnie USB plug was surface soldered to the small bred board in the hard drive case. It would take someone with good eye sight, a steady soldering hand, and a lot of time to fix it. However, I was very grateful for Jacobs idea of putting it in a new case. This give me hope. I was able to unplug the controller FROM THE HARD DRIVE AND FIND IT LOOKS LIKE SOME TYPE OF STANDARD hard drive data plug. However, I do not know what type of data plug it is. I will need to sort that out in order to find a compatible drive box. I also need to get it measured to see what with box to be looking for. If anyone has ideas on these topics or a good place to buy the box I would appreciate them. Thank you. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

These are small plates which fit tightly against the smaller type of USB jack and keep it from moving. If one of them snaps, that particular connector is useless.
