Re: [JAWS-Users] Tera term and Jaws 10
Hi Mario, I use Teraterm daily at work, and I found this post from a while back that may help you. If you are using an old version of Teraterm, you might want to snatch up this newer version. I think it is just what you need. HTH! Andy Since I just posted a long ranting request for help, I figured I better balance that with a nice long solution-oriented write-up. I saw this question on various screen access lists. People want to know which terminal emulator works best with JAWS, or how to access some Unix-Linux-BSD with JFW or simply how to use a terminal program in Windows with screen access. I feel particularly sorry for the blind student who is trying to take some sort of Unix course, and not only has to figure out this new OS but needs to figure out how to access it while simultaneously using the college's Windows computers. Usually the access technology specialists don't have a clue, or the information on the net is incomplete, outdated and/or inaccurate. I run several Linux machines, and am fortunate enough to have access to many old computers which need terminals to talk to them. I have researched this a lot, and have tried many telnet clients, hyperterminal, secure CRT, Kermit for Windows and Putty. By far, my favorite application for accessing remote computers with JAWS is TeraTerm. First, grab yourself a copy of the latest UTF-8 TeraTerm Pro 4.60. Many older versions are floating around, but I guarantee that 4.60 works great with JAWS. I've used versions 5-10 of JFW with 4.x versions of TeraTerm. The TeraTerm site is: http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/ http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/ other urls you might encounter contain dated versions. Install the program and say No to all the extra little tray applets. They don't do any harm but who wants resource hogs that aren't needed. If you get one by mistake, standard techniques, like using msconfig can make it go bye-bye. If you do accept all the defaults, the install will add these unwanted extras. They keep unnecessary windows open but will not adversely affect your computer's accessibility. Next, if you have JAWS, a version later than 5,and you want TeraTerm to automatically speak while text scrolls (like a console window) create this script: Include HJConst.jsh Void Function SayNonHighlightedText (handle hwnd, string buffer) var string TheClass let TheClass=GetWindowClass(hWnd) If GetScreenEcho () ECHO_NONE TheClass == VTWin32 Then Say (buffer, OT_NONHIGHLIGHTED_SCREEN_TEXT); endif EndFunction this script should be specific to TeraTerm, it should be called ttermpro.jss and you should *NOT* put this code in the default script. If this is all Greek to you don't worry. You can skip this scripting step and TeraTerm will still work fine with JFW. Without the script, you will need to use your JAWS cursor or virtualize the window, or a Braille display to read incoming data. At work I use Braille and the JAWS cursor; at home, I use the script. Both techniques work, and I switch between them each day. You will find several, far more elaborate TeraTerm scripts out there. You don't need them. Many were for older versions of Tera Term, and older versions of JAWS. One old script disables my semicolon key, and another of these outdated scripts makes my Braille display constantly jump around. A script very similar to mine above was originally on the blog of Saqib Shaikh, which seems to be no longer on the net. I'd like to give him credit for the idea, and I only plagiarize because I can't find his blog to link you to it. Anyway, this code is simply what gets executed in a Win32 console window (what used to be called a DOS box) when the user chooses to have highlighted text spoken but actually wants to have new text read as it comes onscreen. It's stolen from part of the JAWS default script. But in the default script, the code executes only for console windows, not for the TeraTerm window. The situation for a terminal user is similar to a DOS box user; they don't actually want highlighted text, they want all new text, but not to hear old text read more than once. In other words, when the text scrolls, causing new text to be written and old text to be rewritten as part of the scroll operation, the JAWS user wants to only hear anything new, and not a repeat of the old text. For DOS screen access, this was easy. These programs simply read video memory when users were not working with scrolling applications. When they were, the DOS screen reader filtered calls to the PC BIOS. The BIOS handled the scrolling and the screen access program never saw the old text again. so the user never heard old text repeated. In DOS, the screen reader watched the text that was sent to the BIOS screen services, so it knew about everything sent to the screen through the BIOS. Video memory only had to be consulted if a program wrote directly to the screen. Because DOS terminal programs

[JAWS-Users] Laptops with 32 bit vrs 64 bit

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptops with 32 bit vrs 64 bit
All machines are 64 bit. The question is do you want a 32 bit or a 64 bit operating system? Personally I would stay with 32 bit, unless you have mission critical applications that require intensive memory and processing power. Most of us do not, so it's best to stay with 32 bit for the time being. But also note that 64 bit operating systems is the future, so you may just want to go 64 bit anyway so that your laptop is futureproof. Hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptops with 32 bit vrs 64 bit
Sorry. I agree it's all technical. Basically, 64 bit operating systems can use all the RAM (Random Access Memory) your computer offers. So, for example, if you have 4GB (4000GB or 4096MB), then a 64 bit operating system can use all of that, rather than 3 to 3.5 on a 32 bit operating system.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptops with 32 bit vrs 64 bit
Hi Trisha. This is an age old question, and many people are debating about 32 bit verses 64 bit, as well as how much ram to have. let me first answer your question about 32 Bit. further to what Chris said earlier, the only reason you'd want to go with 64 Bit is because supposedly it can access all the memory of your laptop, for example the entire 4 GB, but it will also allow you to use up to 128 GB of memory. 32 Bit will also allow you to do this using something called physical address extention technology, PAE for short. this technology, available on all modern processors, enables a computer to use up to 64 GB of memory and does away in part with the previous 4 GB limitation of 32bit. My personal recommendation is stay with 32 bit. more programs by far support 32 bit and while programs are supporting 64 bit, the majority of programs online don't support 64 bit necissarily so there may be a decrease in performance if using a 32bit program on a 64 bit machine. they are not necissarily the future, as many people aren't running 64 bit despite it being around for 3 years or so. it was like the war between betamax and VHS, betamax was around and it offered some advantages, but wasn't worth everyone switching to it. or, like the modern day war going on between HD DVD and blueray. people don't want to pay more for something they're hardly ever going to use or take advantage of, and i can't blaim them. also, does your jaws licence support 64bit? as far as i can remember, 32bit licences are meant to be cheaper, i could be wrong though. conclusion? go with 32 bit. as for your question about the ram, most modern laptops come with a minimum of 2 GB, more commonly 3 or 4 GB. you do not need to upgrade this amount of ram. windows7 only needs a minimum of 1 GB of ram to run, leaving the rest free for your programs etc. I hope this answers your question. for the more curious among you, i can send an article to the list if anyone wants to read it about 32 bit verses 64 bit.

I'm looking to see if it is possible to make it so that jaws will NOT read a web page when you open it. Like when you do a search with google, and then it reads the number of headings, links, graphics, and then proceds to read the entire web page without stopping. normally you have to hit Control to stop it, but it is very tedious. Is there a way that anyone knows about to stop it from automatically reading a web page. I know what i want on a page, and never have found anything useful from letting jaws read un-controlled. I've looked all over the configeration manager, and didn't have any luck, but might not know what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any help, or pointers in the right direction...

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptops with 32 bit vrs 64 bit
Hi David. Here's the article atached. I did consider upgrading to 64 Bit, but its always advisable to check if your applications all have 64 Bit support, this applies mainly to anti virus applications and multimedia apps such as video editors etc, or if you're running a server. in my case, i stuck with 32bit for compatibility, and it does include support for PAE simplifying things for me for the time being, maybe if i had 8 GB of ram i would consider upgrading so xp or 7 would use the full amount of memory, this will become clearer in the atached article.

This is an age old question, and many people are debating about 32 bit verses 64 bit, as well as how much ram to have. let me first answer your question about 32 Bit. further to what Chris said earlier, the only reason you'd want to go with 64 Bit is because supposedly it can access all the memory of your laptop, for example the entire 4 GB, but it will also allow you to use up to 128 GB of memory. 32 Bit will also allow you to do this using something called physical address extention technology, PAE for short. this technology, available on all modern processors, enables a computer to use up to 64 GB of memory and does away in part with the previous 4 GB limitation of 32bit. My personal recommendation is stay with 32 bit. more programs by far support 32 bit and while programs are supporting 64 bit, the majority of programs online don't support 64 bit necissarily so there may be a decrease in performance if using a 32bit program on a 64 bit machine. they are not necissarily the future, as many people aren't running 64 bit despite it being around for 3 years or so. it was like the war between betamax and VHS, betamax was around and it offered some advantages, but wasn't worth everyone switching to it. or, like the modern day war going on between HD DVD and blueray. people don't want to pay more for something they're hardly ever going to use or take advantage of, and i can't blaim them. also, does your jaws licence support 64bit? as far as i can remember, 32bit licences are meant to be cheaper, i could be wrong though. conclusion? go with 32 bit. as for your question about the ram, most modern laptops come with a minimum of 2 GB, more commonly 3 or 4 GB. you do not need to upgrade this amount of ram. windows7 only needs a minimum of 1 GB of ram to run, leaving the rest free for your programs etc. I hope this answers your question. for the more curious among you, i can send an article to the list if anyone wants to read it about 32 bit verses 64 bit.

[JAWS-Users] Reading results of file search in Windows 7 Explorer
Hello. Using Windows 7, Jaws11 I'm able to easily type in a file name or part of file name in the search field inside windows Explorer. However how do I read the results of the search and get the file path for each result item using JAWS? Specifically say I've entered the filename or part thereof in the search box inside explorer and then hit enter. Then I haven't pressed any keys while Explorer executes and finishes the search. Which keys now to read the results? Prateek For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Each application's manufacturer will list versions on their website if their application supports 64 bit. even if it doesn't, it will probably work on your system as 32bit emulation will probably take care of the 32bit program unless its a low level program such as anti virus, driver, video conversion program, etc in which case you need the specific 64 bit version.

My personal recommendation is stay with 32 bit. more programs by far support 32 bit and while programs are supporting 64 bit, the majority of programs online don't support 64 bit necissarily so there may be a decrease in performance if using a 32bit program on a 64 bit machine. they are not necissarily the future, as many people aren't running 64 bit despite it being around for 3 years or so. it was like the war between betamax and VHS, betamax was around and it offered some advantages, but wasn't worth everyone switching to it. or, like the modern day war going on between HD DVD and blueray. people don't want to pay more for something they're hardly ever going to use or take advantage of, and i can't blaim them. also, does your jaws licence support 64bit? as far as i can remember, 32bit licences are meant to be cheaper, i could be wrong though. conclusion? go with 32 bit. as for your question about the ram, most modern laptops come with a minimum of 2 GB, more commonly 3 or 4 GB. you do not need to upgrade this amount of ram. windows7 only needs a minimum of 1 GB of ram to run, leaving the rest free for your programs etc. I hope this answers your question. for the more curious among you, i can send an article to the list if anyone wants to read it about 32 bit verses 64 bit.

[JAWS-Users] PRESENTING ANOTHER WAY THE PROBLEM
JAWS Users, Can anyone enlighten me with their expertise as to why my computer continually presents me with a notification called syn notify wnd window? I also would like to find out a great starting point for figuring out why my computer continually freezes after exiting the Internet. The computer will freeze on the internet icon and when I press a letter such as M it should take me to something like My documents but all it says is M and stays on the icon for internet. I have tried to unload JAWS and reload it nothing happens. I have also tried control + alt + delete and nothing happens. These problems only started happening after I downloaded Skype which is running in the system tray. I just have a strong feeling that it has nothing to do with Skype though. I might be wrong that has happened a few times LOL. I use an Dell Inspiron 1545 with an OS XP Pro and JAWS 10 also just in case it does have to do with Skype it is Skype 4. thanks for any help offered on this matter. I hope you all have a great day.

Hi This is only a partial fix but if you do a JAWS key plus F2. Next, go to configuration manager, then alt F. followed by a right arrow then down arrow to speech and sounds manager. Press enter and arrow through the options to rent a crowd. Tab to OK and press enter. then alt f and exit the configuration manager.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptops with 32 bit vrs 64 bit
Patricia, First, if you want a full-sized desktop 104-key keyboard, you will need to get a laptop with a 17-inch display, there are also some with 16-inch displays. The ones with smaller displays don't have room for a full-sized keyboard with a separate number pad. If you want a smaller laptop, you could always buy a USB keyboard to use as a full-sized keyboard, although this would mean you have to carry around two devices. As for memory, if you are getting Windows 7, you will want 2GB as a minimum. It will be much easier to find 64-bit Windows than it will to find 32-bit Windows. Just about every new laptop is 64-bit; although you may be able to get the manufacturer to put a 32-bit system in. The 32-bit systems really only give you a max memory of 3 GB usable, 4GB max. That is because of the formula 2 to the 32nd power minus 1 is the maximum memory. My recommendation would be to consider how you will use your laptop. If you are in essence going to use it as a desktop replacement where you will be doing some intensive tasks like audio editing, or have several applications running at the same time, then go with a 64-bit system and get extra memory. But, you need to check for example to make sure your scanner and printer has drivers for a 64-bit operating system. This shouldn't be a problem for newer printers and scanners, but the older ones that are more than five years old may not work with a newer operating system, particularly ones that are 64-bit. -- Lansing, Michigan Overcast, 75.9°F Wind:ESE-110° at 12mph Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

A slight correction- I have a 15.6 new laptop and it has a full keboard with the numb pad. It uses the new HD screen which is a longer rectangle which provides room to have a full keyboard. If you look for a High Definition machine it will have the full keyboard. I did not look at the smaller, 12 screens, so they may not have the full keyboard.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Any program to copy/Cut/Paste audio files, merge/split files
Hi, Thank you for this suggestion. I see Switch on the JAWS-users.com too so I can go download thatg. Regarding 7zip, I need to look around. Thank you very much for your help. Regards, Siew Ling On 15/06/2010, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: Mp3Directcut will work with mp3 files. It will not work with WMA files but you can convert these to mp3 and back to WMA files again with a utility like switch. In terms of merging Mp3 files, I actually find it easiest to do this with 7 zip. I am sure this is not the standard way of doing this and I do not think 7 zip advertise this feature but it works quickly and fine for me. To merge any number of mp3 files with 7 zip simply highlight the files in question in windows Explorer . The files will need to have names that mean they appear in the order you want to merge them. So if they are not in the right order put 01 at the beginning of the first one and 02 at the second one etc. Now press the application key to bring up the context menu . Go to the 7 zip menu and then select add to archive from the sub menu. Now tab to the compression level combo box in the 7 zip window that comes up and change the level from normal to store, using the up and down cursor key. Now simply press enter. 7 zip will close after creating a zip file of your merged mp3 files.back in windows Explorer highlight this file and press F2 to edit the file name. Now simply rename the file type zip at the end to mp3. Press enter twice ignoring the warning message that windows gives about changing file types and you are there. As I say, not at all standard, but quick and easy for me as it all works from Windows Explorer, pretty much.

[JAWS-Users] Quick Books
Hi there, I finally unearthed the quickbook tips that my friend put together for me last year. I've pasted them below. Hope it helps. Kerry Quick Books Tips Key commands When opening and using the customer list: Control J opens the customer / job list. From here you can arrow up and down through the list, or if you enter the first few letters of the name quickly or even just the 1st letter, it will bring you closer to your search. Alt I will open the highlighted customer or job for editing. Once the customer file is open. Alt I again, will bring you to additional Information. This includes info such as job , PO #, shipping method or tracking #, etc. Alt J brings up the job page. Including job status, start date, install date, paid date, job description etc. Alt P brings you to payment and account info. Alt T opens a note section. Once opened, Alt D will date stamp the current date. Any info added here, you must tab and click ok in order to save. Note All of these fields may vary with your QB setup. The templates and fields are set up by the administrator. Any field you are in, escape will close that window. If you have made any changes, you will be asked to save or not. One thing to remember. Jaws will say things at times that are not in the highlighted field. If you use the say line command, it will read or say blank. I have learned over time. Now back to the main QB home page. Vendor List Alt O will open the vendor list. Again, you may put in letters in rapid succession to move more quickly to the name you are looking for or just simply arrow through. Alt I will open the vendor for editing. Control N will open a new vendor when adding. Information in the vendor list will also be the info QB will use when printing checks. Wile in this Vendor list it is also possible to create a Purchase order from here. Using Alt O to open the list, then U. this will open the next PO in order. This template is also created by the administrator, or may have a default. I have only been using QB for our company. Other Names list Alt L and then N. will open other names list. This is where you are able to add personal names and information Again, once the list is opened, Control N for adding new. Arrow or key to the desired contact. In this list, you have to enter on the highlighted name, then arrow down to edit, enter on this in order to open the contact for editing. Creating Invoices, packing Lists, or Other parts orders. Control I will open an invoice. If you had already highlighted a customer before opening the invoice, QB would automatically add this customer info to the appropriate fields. Billing and job site / ship to address. Wile in an invoice, if any changes are made to the address fields supplied by QB. Upon closing or printing the invoice, you will be asked if you want the changes to appear next time. Choose carefully here. This could change your next usage of this customer or Vendor. If you want to keep the changes for this particular invoice or Pombo not change the past or future. Then you would say no or Alt N. Example: We sold a part to a customer, but they would rather in this one instance have the part shipped to the job site instead of their office. You would open an invoice, tab through and fill out the appropriate fields. If the address info is changed, when you print or save you will be asked if you want these changes to appear net time. In this case no. The correct shipping info will stay on this invoice, but not be changed the next time you use the same customer. When tabbing through each field, the template will allow a certain amount of characters, prechosen by the administrator. Some fields such as shipping, inventory, job assignment etc. Only list items preassigned by the administrator will show up as choices. If you add something new, not already in the list. You will be asked to do a quick add. Depending on an individuals permission, you may or may not make these changes. Once you tab to an address field, there will be multiple line for editing. While in this field, you arrow up and down to on each line, then tab to move out of the fields. Many fields can be preassigned by the Administrator to help with efficiency. Such as memo, billing / shipping charges etc. This allows for easy conversion from one template to another using the same invoice number. For sighted assistance. Many of the key commands are shown with an underline below the hot key. For instance the print command is Alt T, so the T will be underlined. Be aware that many of the standard jaws key commands will be correct,but some will change. For example, control P will bring up payment info instead of print. I'm not sure if this will be clear enough instruction, but hope it will help. I have used multiple versions of QB with multiple versions of Jaws. I am now using XP Pro with Jaws 8 Pro and QB version 2007 contractor edition. As each program has upgraded to the next version, it has only become more easily navigated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Humanware Companion Tutorial
Hey Patricia, The new companion 3.2 is what you use to transfer from your victor to your computer. On my victor Stream I have 3.1.7, and I don't know if there is a update for my Victor, but on my desktop I have 2 victor companions 2.04, and 3.2, so should I take off the old Victor companion on my computer? And how do I get the new voices I downloaded on to my Victor Stream? I downloaded Daniel. Patti Patty, You do not need to remove prior version of the companion, the new will update over the old. copy it to your disk as you do anything else, then put it in your stream turn it on and it will update it automatically, you should hear it saying it's updated. - Original Message - From: Patti bbk...@comcast.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 8:27 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Humanware Companion Tutorial Hey Denny, I just downloaded the 3.2 Companion. 1 question, now I have 2 of the Companions, can I delete the 2.04 off my desktop, and I downloaded another voice off the website.
