Re: [JAWS-Users] HTML and inserted information
Aloha Donald, I think I have not been clear. When I started the account nearly a year ago, I entered a list of payees, their addresses and phone numbers. When the site was updated is when I began having this problem. The page I'm having trouble with is that page of payees and below each entry is an edit box for entering the amount I'd like to pay. It won't read any of those items so I can't find the payee I want and then am not able to enter the amount. Does that help? I have tried the insert escape to redraw the page, and no help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS
The caps lock key absolutely doubles as the jaws key on a laptop. There is, though, a key on all of the laptops I have used, as well as my Acer netbook, that functions as a jaws key. It is the second key in from the left on the bottom row of keys, just to the right of the control key. Officially, I think it's called the function key, but don't quote me on that. I have worked as a computer trainer/technician for about three years now, and I've found this key on all of the laptops I have used, including my own. I have fouhnd that it performs very nearly all of the same functions as the caps lock key on a laptop. It's simply another option, that's all.

By the way does a blind person need such monitor power? Would a adverage flat screen monitor do? Now as far as the ram. I have always said the more the better, but if you can only get so much then that is what you work with. Never let your computer leave you penny less. And now the harddrive, it can be any size desired. Have seen windows7 on as low as a 250 gig drive do very well and even a 64 gig ssd. So that part is user choice.

This computer is going to be running Windows 7 64 bit edition, with an NVDIA Video card. The least you want to get in that case is at least 4 Gigs of RAM, and the hard drive should be at least 500 gigs. If you're paying more than 250 for that computer, I'm afraid you're getting ripped off. Computer with a lot more than that are selling for 350 and 450 dollars without a monitor, which, if you're blind, should not need one, so the monitor should be a luxury, and besides, you can pick up a good monitor for 765 dollars, flat screen and all. In any case, when shopping for a computer, don't settle for the computer that seems to be the best price out there, because, like a car, the price tag might be great, but what's under the hood may not be.

I know that people's first inclination is to get a monitor when they buy a computer, but when people like us get monitors that are huge or something like that, it just boggles my mind, especially since we, as Jaws users, don't use the monitor in the least. Granted, I do advise getting a monitor, even if it's a 13 inch for sighted diagnosis of any problems that we can't fix on our own, in lieu of taking it in for repair, but like I said, you can usually get those for practically nothing these days.

Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS
What do you mean? When you press that function key, that is the key to the right of the left control in combination with other keys, F12 for instance, does it say the time? Or if you press that key wit F11, does it invoke the system tray thing? Is that what you mean by that being a JAWS key also? Because if that's what you mean, I can say that not all laptops behave like that so it would be quite confusing if you call that JAWS key by definition.

This computer is going to be running Windows 7 64 bit edition, with an NVDIA Video card. The least you want to get in that case is at least 4 Gigs of RAM, and the hard drive should be at least 500 gigs. If you're paying more than 250 for that computer, I'm afraid you're getting ripped off. Computer with a lot more than that are selling for 350 and 450 dollars without a monitor, which, if you're blind, should not need one, so the monitor should be a luxury, and besides, you can pick up a good monitor for 765 dollars, flat screen and all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] HTML and inserted information
Sorry for the misunderstanding. This sounds like a serious accessibility issue and I would notify the bank immediately. Just grabbing at straws or sugar cane here, have you attempted to perform a Find for the Payee with Control + F? Probably will not work, but it is worth a try. Another longshot thought. Could the bank have made the payees name a graphic? They might have done this as a security measure or simply to make it more snazy. If so, perhaps the graphic could be labeled with JAWS or Webvisum. Webvisum could also be helpful since you can send the graphic to their serber and have them perform OCR on it so it could be identified. If the payee names are graphics, the bank should definitely update their pages to label those graphics with Alt tags. Make sure that JAWS is set to announce all graphics so that you will know if something is there.

Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS
I think she refers that using this key behaves like JAWS key in most, but not all cases. On my laptop, it will do so for instance pressing the function key and the semicolon is like pressing the CAPSLOCK (acting as JAWS key) to make a plus (or a PC cursor). The function key helps to turn the right side of the laptop keyboard into the numpad, the function that the Capslock working as the JAWS key does so. However, pressing it with the F12 for time, I never tried that. I think you will need to first assign this key in your global keymap file for that. However, I find using the function key for other tasks easier such as pressing it with the left arrow key to work as a HOME Key, with the right arrow key to make an END key, with the down arrow to make a PAGE Down etc. - Original Message - From: Ijemmer Ramos ijemmerjo...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 7:53 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS What do you mean?

Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS
Hello, Pressing the caps lock key with the semicolon key in laptop configuration gives the PC cursor. Using the FN key with the semicolon gives the JAWS cursor. Using the FN key with P does a right mouse button click. Using caps lock key with P gives the JAWS cursor. I don't think on most laptops the FN key simulates the caps lock key. People should be aware when trying these key combinations that although the caps lock key with F9 lists frames, on some laptops the FN key with F9 mutes sound output. Although the FN key is used on laptops to give a user a number pad set up to work with, it doesn't really simulate the uses of the caps lock key in the JAWS laptop configuration. Take care.

On my laptop, it will do so for instance pressing the function key and the semicolon is like pressing the CAPSLOCK (acting as JAWS key) to make a plus (or a PC cursor). The function key helps to turn the right side of the laptop keyboard into the numpad, the function that the Capslock working as the JAWS key does so. However, pressing it with the F12 for time, I never tried that. I think you will need to first assign this key in your global keymap file for that. However, I find using the function key for other tasks easier such as pressing it with the left arrow key to work as a HOME Key, with the right arrow key to make an END key, with the down arrow to make a PAGE Down etc. - Original Message - From: Ijemmer Ramos ijemmerjo...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 7:53 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS What do you mean?

Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS
It is my understanding that there is a difference between the Insert key and the JAWS key. They perform many of the same commands, but at times they perform different ones. For example, In combination with F12, they will both announce the time. However, Insert plus 8 activates the keyboard manager, while JAWS key plus 8 is the same as clicking the left mouse button. The function key, on the other hand, essentially turns the right side of the keyboard into the equivalent of the num pad on a full keyboard. Hence, it performs some of the same commands as the JAWS key, but certainly not all of them. In my experience, most laptops have this function key on the bottom row ,second key from the left, and it is worth knowing about it in case it can make using the laptop keyboard a little easier. I apologize for any confusion I caused by saying it could double as a JAWS key. Let's just say that, in addition to the Insert key and the caps lock JAWS key, there is a function key that can make the right side of a laptop keyboard function like a numpad. Again, I'm sorry if I confused anyone. I was really just trying to help.

[JAWS-Users] Window live beta.
Just to let all know. Window live beta is out. It has ribbons. No more menus. It looks and function like outlook 2007. Playing with it. JAWS 11 works OK but is not able to read messages if you use up or down arrow to read list of email that you got. Also if you use insert page down it does not tell you the number of emails you have in a folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] LAPTOP KEYS WITH JAWS
Nope, your problem is your understanding confuses two things. The insert key is the Jaws key. Where you are getting confused is keyboard layout. On laptops, which sometimes don't have an insert key, the laptop layout makes the Caps-Lock key function as the Jaws key. And, because smaller laptops lack full-sized keyboards with separte numpads, some of the function key assignments such as left-mouse click emulation have been re-assigned in the Laptop keyboard layout of Jaws. One of those is left-click which is normally the insert-numpad slash combination but is re-assigned under the laptop configuration. As a matter of fact, if you had a full-sized keyboard on your laptop, or hooked up one and used the laptop layout in Jaws, you'd see that you can perform the same functions with the Caps lock key or with the insert key. This proves that both keys are the Jaws key. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer advice.
Hi Steve, While the specs are nice, although those specs are the bare minimum in my opinion, the fact is, if you're going to run Jaws 11 on a computer running Windows 7 64 bit edition, there is absolutely no point in using that computer unless it's got at least 4 gigs of RAM, otherwise the thing will be slower than molasses. If she wanted a slow computer, she might as well keep the one she has and save her money. A second point I would make is that a 320 gig hard drive will become obsolete in less than three months, if they aren't already, so why pay all that money for something that will be obsolete in less than three months. The minimum one can get just in a laptop alone is 500 gigs, unless one is getting a net book, in which case, the biggest I've seen is a 250 hard drive, and these are solid state drives, so, again, why would she pay 250 dollars for a computer that only has 2 gigs of RAM and a 320 gig drive, it wouldn't make sense. Heck, if I'm not mistaken, with all the features of Windows 7, the darn OS will fill that 320 gigger in a matter of days. Smile. In any case, at the very least, if she isn't planning on upgrading in the near future, then I would definitely say that using a computer with those specs and running Jaws 11 64 bit edition would just make using the computer way too tedious.

I want to turn off the password when turning on my PC. I followed directions to change a password and saw the link to turn off passwords, however, when I now turn on my PC, I am still asked to log in with the password, but the new password has changed to the enter key. Now ,when I go to users' account there is no option to turn off passwords. Is there a way to turn this off so all I have to do is turn on the power button and not log in? Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer advice.
That can be done as long as you can get supporting drivers for the hardware.. There are some good deals out there and a good look around can find what you want. At 10:58 PM 6/26/2010, you wrote: I apologize for jumping in a little late and not quite being familiar with all of the posts. I may also be in the market for something new. With an old Dell PC with XP homeand working software. Instead of purchasing more memory for $100.00. Would it be worth it just to buy a new PC? Could I transfer the operating system and everything else to something with a faster processor and more memory? Thanks.

Hi Steve, While the specs are nice, although those specs are the bare minimum in my opinion, the fact is, if you're going to run Jaws 11 on a computer running Windows 7 64 bit edition, there is absolutely no point in using that computer unless it's got at least 4 gigs of RAM, otherwise the thing will be slower than molasses. If she wanted a slow computer, she might as well keep the one she has and save her money. A second point I would make is that a 320 gig hard drive will become obsolete in less than three months, if they aren't already, so why pay all that money for something that will be obsolete in less than three months. The minimum one can get just in a laptop alone is 500 gigs, unless one is getting a net book, in which case, the biggest I've seen is a 250 hard drive, and these are solid state drives, so, again, why would she pay 250 dollars for a computer that only has 2 gigs of RAM and a 320 gig drive, it wouldn't make sense. Heck, if I'm not mistaken, with all the features of Windows 7, the darn OS will fill that 320 gigger in a matter of days. Smile. In any case, at the very least, if she isn't planning on upgrading in the near future, then I would definitely say that using a computer with those specs and running Jaws 11 64 bit edition would just make using the computer way too tedious.
