Re: [JAWS-Users] Serious problems when reading .txt files
It sounds like a display issue, it may or may not be related to JAWS. If it is JAWS related, perhaps you could try reinstalling JAWS using the repair option. You might also check your display adapter to make sure it is SVGA. I had a similar problem only to find out my VGA display adapter was not sufficient for VISTA or Windows7. You shouldn't have to change your appearance or scheme settings at all. Blessings, Stewart Greg wrote: Hello all, I am running JAWS 11 on an acer netbook with windows7 starter edition. When I am trying to read the text in a .txt file JAWS does not read it write. As I move forward through the document it will get to a line of text and say blank like there is nothing there. Also when I try to go back through a text document it is as if the text has disappeared. I have tried using notepad, as well as akel pad, and have the same problem with both. Now, when I try to open the documents in Microsoft word it is like there is no text at all. Any suggestions on what might be causing these problems and what to try to fix it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Greg W.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading a scanned pdf file with Jaws
K1000 will not open that file directly because it is a picture of a page of text. This is always confusing to people. Text which is saved in any sort of representation of letters is convertible from one type to another because one way or another each letter, each character is represented by a computer number but a scanned image is just 1s or 0s representing more or less shading density in particular places on a screen or paper. The easiest way to do what you want is to open the file with Adobe Reader. Then go to the ILE menu of Adobe Reader and select the print option. Select the Keisyvirtual printer. This will send the image to the scanning function of K1000 which will open and attempt to recognize the image and translate it into text and then present it to you.

[JAWS-Users] Skype versions prefered with JAWS
Freedom Scientific is specifically supporting, or so it would seem, Skype 4. However, even with Doug Lee's scripts, I noticed the following issues. First: After making sure you are online and physically connected to the Internet, start up Skype, and configure it. Even after enableing extended keyboared navigation, and pressing enteer, you will find that Skype, for whatever reason, doesn't speak if you use the menu bar key witch is in the vast majority of cases Alt. JAWS only speaks, Menu bar. And, Leaveing menu bar. I have ben forced to memorize (as I refuse to JAWS cursor around in Skype four) Shortcuts may be helpful, and are as follows. Note: You can apply this to programs such as VMware workstation as well, with JAWS (similar situation) speaks activated menus just fine, but not the menus themselves, so it does pay to really learn shortcuts) because JAWS cursoring to a menu is limited. Alt+S, Skype. Alt+C, Contacts. Alt+A (Not sure why) Call menu. Alt+V, View Menu. Alt+T, Tools Menu. Alt+H, Help Menu. Try those keystrokes, and let me know. P.s. I have a laptop computer, and cannot recall what the command is to read the hotkey for a specific control, and this box doesn't have a number pad on it. Thanks. Regards, --Keith If you have any other questions, feel free to email me off-list privately, or contact me on Skype.

[JAWS-Users] Upcoming update of JAWS 11
This message is intended for Eric specifically, but I'd like anyone else to jump into this. I submitted an issue recently with JAWS11 (actually it effects JAWS10) as well, and the issues appear to only be in 64-bit in particular. From what I could gather, JAWS 11 when working in the latest release of Winamp witch I obtain from: http://www.whitestick.co.uk has an issue where if you use either of the commands for reading elapsed time or the track length, no matter what happens, JAWS always says 0 minutes, 0 seconds. And will tell you the track length is also 0 minutes, 0 seconds. The other (also script) specfic issues, is that in some applications (Windows Live Messenger) and a few others, JAWS does not speak when using insert A, or any of the text navigation commands that appear to select text. The speech buffer may just say something like: Selected. Not a very discriptive message, but the lack of feedback under 64-bit is a little... upsetting. I submitted an emial about this to the tech support at Freedom Scientific, and Grant Douny told me that it had been forwarded to the JAWS development department. So I was curious Eric as product manager if you have seen this message yet? If you haven't, I'd urgently suggest you to either talk to Grant or whomever you might have to, to see if this is something you could work into either this update, or a future update in the 11 sycle. Sincerely, --Keith P.s. Feel free to email me off-list as well, but I figured you would be the one to inform in a public manner. Also, I wanted others with 64-bit machines to try some of the above keystrokes for JAWS, and let me know if they too, (as I expect) report improper infromation. I am very sure, (as this has occured on all JAWS 64-bit releases that I've tested, that it is a scripting issue on Freedom scientific's part, and not an user-specific error. Just thought it would be good to make everyone aware at once about this issue. Though the interesting thing is, I don't see a lot of people using 64-bit versions of JAWS, so thus perhaps this is something that most people just don't get a chance to test. Keep up the great work on JAWS, Eric! Regards, --Keith For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
