Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS does not read ...
Hi Brian, Thanks again. I ended up reinstalling Jaws and that fixed the unknown script problem. The use of left and right arrows in the edit field of the save and find dialogue boxes is still the same; cursor moves but Jaws stays silent. Thank you for offering to help off list; I'll do some reading and contact you privately if I come out empty-handed. many thanks, Samira At 09:57 AM 12/29/2007, you wrote: What I was trying to tell you about the toolbars is not just to see if the formatting and standard were checked, but to see if other toolbars might be checked that could be interfering with JAWS reading commands in dialog boxes. Sometimes the positioning of a toolbar can interfere with JAWS. If you are getting unknown function errors then perhaps you accidentally typed something else into the script file before compiling it. If you are not using any custom scripts then at this point I would suggest that you do a JAWS repair. Insert your installation CD into the CD drive. You should be presented with options to modify, repair or remove. If you installed from a downloaded file and don't have your installation CD then find the downloaded installation file on your computer and press enter on it. Make sure you tab to the repair button and press spacebar on it, or if you are working with some one using a mouse then have them click on the repair button. Let JAWS repair your installation. When the repair is finished you should restart your computer. This is probably the best thing for you to do at this point, as if you are not familiar with script files then you wouldn't know what statements to change to stop the unknown function errors. Take care. You can e-mail me off list if you would like and I'll try to help you further. If you want to do that then instead of replying to this message just press enter on my E-mail link below.

Thanks for the hints. 1. I checked the view menu and both standard and formatting are checked. 2. I opened the script manager and pressed control s; it said compiling complete; but now I get strange messages like unknown script called to tab key and unknown function called to getwordversion; I tried undue script but without success. How can I return to the default script settings? I realize I need to learn more about jaws scripts. Thanks, Samira At 10:10 AM 12/27/2007, you wrote: Here are a few suggestions: 1.

Be sure to leave the standard and formatting toolbars checked. 2. There are script statements and functions in the Microsoft Word.JSS file relevant to the Find dialog box. You might want to open the script manager from within Word by pressing Insert-F2, then S until you hear Script Manager, and then press enter. When the Microsoft Word.JSS file is open you might want to use CTRL-S to recompile the scripts. 3. See if there are any external dialog boxes open when you are trying to use the find dialog or SaveAs dialog. If so, try closing them. Take care.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your response; insert 2 changes typing mode which I usually set to none. I should have made my question more clear so let me try again: when I am in save or find dialogue boxes, I cannot read characters with right or left arrows, but can read the full word with insert up arrow. this did not happen with earlier versions of Jaws. I do not want to hear characters when I type, but want to read characters with right and left arrows for editing purposes. Someone suggested checking the language settings, but it is set to English U.S. This happens only in MS Word, not in IE, Eudora or Adobe Acrobat. Any ideas anyone?

Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble with start page of avg
Hi Orhan and Chris, yes I know that a lot of people use avg without any trouble, but for some reason it isn't working as should for me. Yes Orhan, it was the same pod cast we both listened to. Thanks for your tip about using the space bar. The problem is, I am not getting any of those buttons(or any others for that matter) showing up. I have tried tabbing. I have also routed the pc cursor to Jaws, but do not find any buttons. Jaws does confirm that it is avg 7.5 free that I am using. The only thing Jaws reads is a lot of unnamed graphics. It reports my last scan and last update as yesterday, which is when I installed it. As far as I know though, no such scan has been done. It then talks about things like premium updates not being available. This makes sense, as it is only the free version and not the paid one. It then gives a rundown as to why it is worth upgrading to the paid version. That is all that Jaws reads to me on the screen after I launch avg from my desktop. Something else I notice, is that when I installed avg, I was asked to create a start window folder. However, I don't have an avg shortcut icon in my start menu. Avg also does not show up in my system tray, and yet I think the manual or the podcast said it would be there. Does anyone have any solutions, short of reinstalling AVG? thanks Jason - Original Message - From: orhan deniz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 4:59 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble with start page of avg no me neither. the demo you are talking about was from blind cool tech? a little while ago. yeah, I listened to that, how ever, in the paid version there is a advanced interface. however, this does not apply to the free version. also, you have to press space bar on a button - enter won't work for some weird reason. well at least for me. oh yeah if you want to scan for viruses, you need to press spacebar on the test centre button.

However, when I launch avg from my desktop and get put into its start screen(or what ever it is called), I don't get any options to scan etc. It reports my last scan and update, as being today(which is when I installed it). But that's all I get, apart from a notice saying why I should update to the paid version. I listened to a tutorial on AVG by Daren Duff on blind cool tech. In his demo, he shows that on the start screen, I should be able to tab through various options. These include: scan whole system, search for updates, selective scan(or something like that) and others. I have none of these when I press tab. In fact, I don't move any where when I press tab. Daren's demo is with AVG 7.1 paid version, but should it be any different? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I am using XP home and Jaws 8.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Video intercept manager trouble
Hello Nicole, Here is a technical support notice published a few years ago by Freedom Scientific, but I think the steps should still be the same. I realize that DCM has greatly improved since the publishing of the tech article, but it shouldn't hurt to follow the procedure to see if it helps. If after following the steps shown in the notice you still have the video intercept problem, I would suggest that you uninstall the Freedom Scientific video intercept entry in the add/remove programs of the control panel. After doing so, do a repair on JAWS. Details of Selected Bulletin Bulletin Type: TSN Date Posted: 08/01/2003 Product Name: JAWS Version: Any Category: Video Short Description: When starting JAWS or MAGic, a message indicates that the application is not intercepting video. The program was working fine until recently. Problem: If you change your video display driver after you have already installed a Device Chaining Manager (DCM)-reliant product such as JAWS or MAGic, the program will be temporarily disabled. This is expected behavior for DCM-reliant products and is easy to resolve. Note: Your video drivers may have been changed for any number of reasons, including the following: * You may intentionally change your display driver due to an upgrade or new display adapter. * The Windows Automatic Update service may download updated display drivers for you to install. * Your computer's manufacturer may have updated drivers which are automatically installed without your knowledge. Updates may come from Dell or Sony, for instance. This notice applies to Windows NT, 2000, or XP environments. For more information about DCM, you can read the Microsoft article An Introduction to Driver Chain Manager. Solution: Follow these steps to make JAWS or MAGic function correctly after receiving the video intercept error. You can use Windows Narrator and/or Magnifier (if available) to assist you in performing these steps. Press WINDOWS Key+U to access these utilities 1. In the dialog box that informs you about the video intercept problem, choose the Details button. 2. Use the arrow keys to select the Install Video Intercept radio button. 3. Press the TAB key to move to the Execute button, and then press the SPACEBAR. 4. Press ALT+F4 to close the Video Intercept dialog box. 5. Restart your computer. JAWS and MAGic should now work correctly. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Flash Player
1. What web browser are you using (and what version)? Different browsers use different flavors of the Flash plugin. 2. What version of JAWS are you using? Different versions have different levels of support for the Flash accessibility feature set. 3. Precisely which sub-version of Flash Player 9 are you using? There are substantial differences between the sub-versions of Flash Player 9. 9.0.115.0 is the latest version. If you have JavaScript enabled, you should be able to determine what version you have using this page: http://www.codegeek.net/flash_version.htm Otherwise, you'd need to check in about:plugins for Firefox or Manage Add-Ons for Internet Explorer. 4. Can you please provide the URL for the webpage containing this video? Not all Flash content is usable with screen readers, since some Flash content does not make use of the accessibility feature set and some other Flash content may make use of the accessibility feature set but is embedded in the page in such a way that assistive technology cannot inspect or interact with it. An important point to note is that your JAWS might be configured to Ignore Flash on Web Pages. You'll want to ensure that option isn't checked. In JAWS 8.0, you can find it the HTML Options Dialog accessible from the Set Options menu in Configuration Manager. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis AMTK161 wrote: Hello everyone, I am wondering how to best use JAWS with Adobe Flash Player?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Append Clipboard Feature
Hi denny, I dug up some notes from my personal jaws archives regarding the discussion of the clip board we had n thisl ist a bit over a year ago. I know your issue is with jaws9, but perhaps the notes might shed light on some thing you've over look. ** from david. There is a third party called clip clear that will do this very thing for you. It can be found at: http;//www.moonsoftware.com ** from walt. Okay, here's the official deal that I got from FS: * You should be prompted when you press CTRL+C _after_ having used Windows Key+C (the FS clipboard function). * You should not be prompted after having used CTRL+C when you first press Windows Key+C. 3. It is normal to have anything you placed on the clipboard by way of CTRL+C retained when you then press Windows Key+C. The FS clipboard has never overwritten material previously placed on the clipboard by way of CTRL+C. * from walt. Well, it's _sort_ of different. The keystroke to add things to the FSClipboard is Windows Key+C instead of CTRL+C and its really big advantage is that it allows you to make multiple clips; that is, you can copy a few lines, go farther down in a document and copy a few more, etc. Then, when you press CTRL+V to paste the information, everything you copied is there. Next time, use CTRL+C for the _first_ copy, then Windows Key+C or if you don't, everything you copied the last time will still be there. Pressing CTRL+C after having used the Windows Key+C function prompts you to clear the clipboard for the next bunch of material. * from walt. There are two clipboards. There's the regular one (CTRL+C or CTRL+X) and there's the FS clipboard introduced, I think, in 7.0 (Windows Key+C). Here's the information from the JAWS help about the FS clipboard: Using FSClipboard FSClipboard extends the functionality of the Windows Clipboard. When you use the Windows Copy (CTRL+C) or Cut (CTRL+X) commands to place text on the Clipboard, it replaces any text already there. When using the FSClipboard feature, text that you copy is added to any text that you have previously copied to the Clipboard. This allows you to continue adding text to the Clipboard until you are ready to paste it into a document. You can only copy text with the FSClipboard feature. To add text to the Clipboard, select it using the text selection commands, and then press WINDOWS Key+C. The text is appended to the end of any text already on the Clipboard. To paste all the text that you have placed on the Clipboard so far, use the Windows Paste command (CTRL+V). The text is inserted into your document at the current location of the cursor. Each block of text that you copied is separated by a blank line. Note: If you attempt to add the same selection of text to the Clipboard more than once, the text is not added. This feature is intended to reduce unintentional duplication. All formatting is removed from text that you copy using the FSClipboard feature. This can be useful in programs like Microsoft Word if you do not want to include styles, numbering, and other formatting information when you paste text into a document. If you want to replace all of the text on the Clipboard with a new text selection, use CTRL+C or CTRL+X instead of WINDOWS Key+C. JAWS asks if you want to overwrite your previously saved items.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Seeking Easy to Use Accessible Dictionary
AS Flor already pointed out, Word Web dictionary does have a very good Jaws interface, and even better interface when used with the Jaws scripts available through the Jaws Users site, or the JFW Lite site. The newest version of the Word Web dictionary even has the ability to reside in your system tray for easy access, and allows for a user defined hotkey to bring it up automatically. It will even work in conjunction with other word processors for quick and easy access. The great thing is that if you highlight a word, then use the hotkey, which is control+alt+W, which is the default for accessing the dictionary, the word will automatically appear in the edit field to look up the word. There are a few tabs when the word is defined, such as a synonyms tab, along with an antonyms tab/section in case you want to use the thesaurus part of the program The other great thing about this program is the fact that it's free. Can't argue with that price. Smile.

David Ferrin www.jaws-users.com I have used this hot key creator for several years. It not only does a lot more than winkey, including auto type text and many others. It's regular price is $24.99, on sale now until tomorrow for $9.99. I thought this is worth posting as this one also is still being supported, updated, and supports vista. Here is a link, all one needs to do is look for the heading for pc keyboard hotkeys pro. http://www.aquariussoft.com/sales/ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [JAWS-Users] Video intercept manager trouble
Hi, This may or may not solve the problem. I had a similar problem a couple of months ago using Jaws 8. There was a video intercept error and I could not re-install or uninstall the video intercept manager. After following various steps outlined in the knowledge base articles and uninstalling and reinstalling Jaws on my system, I had to call Freedom Scientific to resolve the problem. For whatever reason, there are some dll files that are not registered properly and I had to go in to the registry and delete many keys. I also had to manually register a number of dll files to correct the problem. Since I was doing this over the phone with a support technician, I did not have the time to record all the steps that were taken. According to the support technician I spoke with, it seems this is a known problem that sometimes occurs. It may take a call to Freedom Scientific to finally correct the problem.

I realize that DCM has greatly improved since the publishing of the tech article, but it shouldn't hurt to follow the procedure to see if it helps. If after following the steps shown in the notice you still have the video intercept problem, I would suggest that you uninstall the Freedom Scientific video intercept entry in the add/remove programs of the control panel. After doing so, do a repair on JAWS. Details of Selected Bulletin Bulletin Type: TSN Date Posted: 08/01/2003 Product Name: JAWS Version: Any Category: Video Short Description: When starting JAWS or MAGic, a message indicates that the application is not intercepting video. The program was working fine until recently. Problem: If you change your video display driver after you have already installed a Device Chaining Manager (DCM)-reliant product such as JAWS or MAGic, the program will be temporarily disabled. This is expected behavior for DCM-reliant products and is easy to resolve. Note: Your video drivers may have been changed for any number of reasons, including the following: * You may intentionally change your display driver due to an upgrade or new display adapter. * The Windows Automatic Update service may download updated display drivers for you to install. * Your computer's manufacturer may have updated drivers which are automatically installed without your knowledge. Updates may come from Dell or Sony, for instance. This notice applies to Windows NT, 2000, or XP environments. For more information about DCM, you can read the Microsoft article An Introduction to Driver Chain Manager. Solution: Follow these steps to make JAWS or MAGic function correctly after receiving the video intercept error. You can use Windows Narrator and/or Magnifier (if available) to assist you in performing these steps. Press WINDOWS Key+U to access these utilities 1. In the dialog box that informs you about the video intercept problem, choose the Details button. 2. Use the arrow keys to select the Install Video Intercept radio button. 3. Press the TAB key to move to the Execute button, and then press the SPACEBAR. 4. Press ALT+F4 to close the Video Intercept dialog box. 5. Restart your computer. JAWS and MAGic should now work correctly. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Append Clipboard Feature
Hi Denny: I have had this happen with both JAWS 8 and 9. I also unload JAWS when this happens. However, it doesn't always happen. I know this is really basic, but I find that if for some reason the window becomes restored, it will also happen and work like a charm if the application window becomes maximized again.

I can append copied text to the clipboard and then copy that text. However, when I try `to overwrite the contents of the clipboard by doing the control c, I get the normal message saying, pressing control c or control x will overwrite the content of the clipboard, do you want to continue. I say yes, but when I go to paste the clipboard, the original text is pasted and it hasn't been overwritten. The only thing I can do is to unload Jaws 9 and then restart it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Append Clipboard Feature
Thanks Deb. I don't recall having a problem with it version 8, but it seems to consistently happen in version 9. There has to be some factor in the equation that causes it not to work at times and work good at other times. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Thanks for your input.
