[JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
Hi list, especially those uni students on the list. I have been having a lot of problems accessing my uni website for my Psychology studies. The uni has began using a thing called blackboard learning system. it uses some Java and so obviously gives Jaws problems. Have any of the students on list been able to master this system. I am able(with a lot of use of the Jaws cursor), able to get into things I need to, but it is very time consuming. Have spoken to the I.T guys at the uni. They help as much as they can, but they even say it is a problem even for students in general, not just with Jaws. Any tips will be helpful. thanks Jason P.S I have XP home and Jaws 8 and I.E 6.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Opinion wanted, should I upgrade my jaws?
I have 7 something then I got 8 am I right I should be eligible for 9 or am I wrong on how many soma's people get.

Lisa, Once JAWS 9 is released, you would then have to purchase version 9 when you upgrade. If you order 8 now with and SMA (that means you'll also receive 9 and version 10), you end up paying the same price and will ultimately get version 10 as well. So your question is, how long before 9 is released... We have been targeting a release date in late September but that has slipped a bit already. We are completing some significant changes with respect to Microsoft Office including the calendar and getting this all wrapped up is taking longer than I had hoped. Since this is delaying JAWS 9 a bit, you will have more time to delay the purchase but I would not let it go past September in order to take advantage of the savings.

Lisa, The first question you (and the sales person I think) should ask, is about your current computer situation and what will you be doing in the future with respect to computing. If you are on windows XP today, and plan to be using the computer in the future, you will probably be upgrading to IE 7 at the very least. For that reason, staying current with your Screen Reader will be important. If you plan to buy a new computer in the next year or two, you will probably be getting Vista and in that case, I suggest you buy JAWS 8 now and get the SMA. That would give you all the features in JAWS 7 and 8 your are missing out on now and set you up to begin using Vista as soon as you can. Purchasing before JAWS 9 releases this Fall will say you money as well in the long run. If on the other hand you are using Windows 98 with IE 6 today, and your not planning to change anytime soon, then I would suggest you only get upgraded to JAWS 6.2 (available for free to JAWS 6 license holders, from the Downloads page at FS). A couple of the highlights worth considering include: * Support for Vista Operating System. * All the DAISY Training material and the DAISY Player now installed with JAWS 7 and 8 versions. * The RealSpeak Synthesizer that is included with JAWS 8, mentioned by others. * The new Alternative Say All option so you can use Eloquence for navigating but have RealSpeak or other SAPI Synthesizer kick in when you start a Say All. * The FS Clipboard so you can append to clipboard rather than over writing it. This is great on Web pages I think. * The Check for Updates feature in the Help Menu. * Navigation Quick Keys for Microsoft Word, like you have available in IE. * The JAWS Find feature now retains the history of the searches you perform to make it easier to recall. * AOL, MSN, and Yahoo instant messenger programs are all improved. Well, you get the idea. If you install the Demo version of JAWS 8, you can review all the What's New write ups, try out the DAISY Training material, and give it a test drive at least.

Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
Jason and all, I have an opinion on this. If the university in question knows darn well that Blackboard is difficult for all students, not just VI students, then why are they using it in the first place? Couldn't they just use Moodle or some other VLE instead? At least with Moodle JAWS can access it no problem as there's no Java, as far as I can tell anyway. Sorry for the ranting, but there goes my two pence worth anyway, smiles. - Original Message - From: jason smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 8:35 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system Hi list, especially those uni students on the list.

Thanks Michael. I'll give this a try. Sounds like I've needed to do this for a while.

Once downloaded, the instalation process will take you through an Accessabillity assistant which will allow you to customize Adobe Reader for JAWS. The settings are pretty much self-explanitory, for the most part. When I'm reading a document, I usually set my options to read the entire document at once, and navigate it like I would any other document...Works for something like a newsletter or report, that kind of thing. As for more in-depth navigation I don't know; try looking in Popular Aplications With JAWS in the Help system, that should give you everything your JAWS version can do with Adobe Reader.

Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and ATT Natural Voices
Hi Rick and David, Thanks for your replies. My PC is fast so the voices generally work pretty well. - Original Message - From: Rick Harmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 21:51 Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and ATT Natural Voices Voices like that are never going to be as responsive as Eloquence no matter what you do. They are just too much to process as the sample is much larger than with something like Eloquence. Eloquence has a sample size of something like 2k per second as ATT and similar voices have a 16 or 22K per second sample rate. If you have a really fast pc then they work pretty good but not as good as eloquence.

I'm running Vista and have Mike and Crystal installed; both work but the response time is slower then if I use Eloquense. I know that with using a different synth things will be different; but is there anything I can do to speed things up? I really like having the Crystal voice on my computer, and I think it is worth it sometimes to have that good voice even though things will be slower.

Re: [JAWS-Users] *****SPAM***** Re: using Jaws with blackboard system
I've used BlackBoard both as a student and instructor, and as a parent of an upper elementary school child and have not had problems using it with JAWS over the past 3 to 4 years. However, maybe there is a new and improved version out there that is no longer accessible. Contacting your school's I.T. folks was a good first step, but I think it is time to move on to the next step. If your school has an Office of Disability Services, you need to contact them immediately so that they can work with you and your instructor to come up with a reasonable accommodation. You do not want to wait and let this thing snowball to the point of it hurting you and your grade. I have 20 years of experience with accommodations in the post secondary level. You are welcome to contact me off list if you would like to discuss this further.
