[JAWS-Users] Help with Hotmail
Hello: During this past week, my Hotmail account was changed to the newest version that has been releasing over the past couple of months. Before this change, I could use Hotmail effectively and all of the functions worked. Now, however, I am unable to send messages, reply to messages, or access my contact list. I have done some research and have been reading that I can use Windows Live Mail as my mail client and Hotmail will work OK. I do not wish to use a program that is resident on my computer as I often use other machines -- that's why I use web mail. My daughter and I also share a business account, (for our farm), and she is able to perform all functions including sending, replying and viewing/using the contact list. I am running Windows XP with all appropriate updates, JAWS Version 10, IE7 on a cable connection. I can type into the edit boxes for the address field and subject field, but no edit box appears for the message field. Also, when I hit the send button, nothing seems to happen; I have searched for any error messages and find none. Any help would be apreciated, Microsoft is, thus far, unresponsive, and I really have need of both Email addresses. If you have ideas, please send them to mainefu...@gmail.com Thank you. -- Signed by Chris Hallsworth E-mail and Facebook: christopher...@googlemail.com MSN: ch9...@hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: http://twitter.com/christopherh40 Klango: chrishallsworth If you have any computer problems or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me on the above channels.

[JAWS-Users] Preview of JAWS 12
Here's a brief preview of JAWS 12 I just came across: by Curtis Chong In early July, I attended a three-hour session conducted by Freedom Scientific during which the company provided a sneak preview of JAWS for Windows Version 12. Freedom Scientific has been working on this newest release of JAWS for more than a year, and it is hoped that JAWS 12 will be released before the end of 2010. Long-time JAWS users will be interested to know that in JAWS 12, Freedom Scientific proposes to replace the familiar JAWS Configuration Manager with something called the Settings Center. In the Settings Center, you can search for the setting that you want to change and then simply make the change. It is no longer necessary to explore a variety of menus to track down where, for example, you can change the level of punctuation that JAWS speaks or increase the speaking rate of JAWS. Also, in the Settings Center, your last 25 changes will be displayed at the bottom of the tree view, making it easier for you to fix a setting that might have been adjusted incorrectly or adjust settings that you change frequently. Another feature included in JAWS 12 is the ability to operate your computer from the Braille keyboard of any connected refreshable Braille display. Using the Braille keys, you can enter any character that would be entered through a standard QWERTY keyboard, and this includes all JAWS commands as well. Also, a proficient Grade II Braille user will be able to enter text in contracted Braille and have the result reverse-translated on the fly. I do not see much value in this feature for me, personally, but I hesitate to criticize the investment in time and effort that has been made by Freedom Scientific; I simply do not know how many Braille users out there have been longing to operate their computer from a Braille keyboard. The final noteworthy feature in JAWS 12 is the ability to use a Virtual Ribbon in Microsoft Office. Some blind computer users have expressed frustration with the ribbon that has been incorporated into Microsoft Office 2007 and now into Office 2010. What Freedom Scientific is proposing for JAWS 12 is to give the Office user the choice of whether to use the ribbon as is or to use the Virtual Ribbon provided by JAWS. This Virtual Ribbon provides a user experience that feels more like the traditional menus with which a lot of people are familiar. Time will tell whether this feature is worth the investment. As for me, since I feel quite comfortable with the Office ribbon as it is, I will probably choose not to use the JAWS Virtual Ribbon that comes with JAWS 12. In all, JAWS 12 seems like a bit of an improvement over JAWS 11. Certainly, Freedom Scientific has incorporated some new features which some people will like. As for me, I would wish for features in JAWS which make it easier for blind people to compete in the workplace-something which Freedom Scientific seems to have lost sight of over the years.

Re: [JAWS-Users] INTERNET EXPLORER 8 PROBLEMS
Hi, it could be that the code used is not recognised by IE: just one problem with client scripting. Most of it may be proprietary or not yet recognised by another browser.

[JAWS-Users] Say All Voice
Hi List, I had to do a complete system restore and now that I've reinstalled jaws, I can't remember how to change the say all voice from that awful Microsoft voice to one of the realspeak ones.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Preview of JAWS 12
Sounds good. The setting center sounds like a feature I could benifit from. "Many blocked people are very powerful & creative personalities who have been made to feel guilty about their own strengths & gifts." --Julia Cameron - Original Message - From: "Gerald Levy" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 7:48 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Preview of JAWS 12 Here's a brief preview of JAWS 12 I just came across: by Curtis Chong In early July, I attended a three-hour session conducted by Freedom Scientific during which the company provided a sneak preview of JAWS for Windows Version 12. Freedom Scientific has been working on this newest release of JAWS for more than a year, and it is hoped that JAWS 12 will be released before the end of 2010. Long-time JAWS users will be interested to know that in JAWS 12, Freedom Scientific proposes to replace the familiar JAWS Configuration Manager with something called the Settings Center. In the Settings Center, you can search for the setting that you want to change and then simply make the change. It is no longer necessary to explore a variety of menus to track down where, for example, you can change the level of punctuation that JAWS speaks or increase the speaking rate of JAWS. Also, in the Settings Center, your last 25 changes will be displayed at the bottom of the tree view, making it easier for you to fix a setting that might have been adjusted incorrectly or adjust settings that you change frequently. Another feature included in JAWS 12 is the ability to operate your computer from the Braille keyboard of any connected refreshable Braille display. Using the Braille keys, you can enter any character that would be entered through a standard QWERTY keyboard, and this includes all JAWS commands as well. Also, a proficient Grade II Braille user will be able to enter text in contracted Braille and have the result reverse-translated on the fly. I do not see much value in this feature for me, personally, but I hesitate to criticize the investment in time and effort that has been made by Freedom Scientific; I simply do not know how many Braille users out there have been longing to operate their computer from a Braille keyboard. The final noteworthy feature in JAWS 12 is the ability to use a Virtual Ribbon in Microsoft Office. Some blind computer users have expressed frustration with the ribbon that has been incorporated into Microsoft Office 2007 and now into Office 2010. What Freedom Scientific is proposing for JAWS 12 is to give the Office user the choice of whether to use the ribbon as is or to use the Virtual Ribbon provided by JAWS. This Virtual Ribbon provides a user experience that feels more like the traditional menus with which a lot of people are familiar. Time will tell whether this feature is worth the investment. As for me, since I feel quite comfortable with the Office ribbon as it is, I will probably choose not to use the JAWS Virtual Ribbon that comes with JAWS 12. In all, JAWS 12 seems like a bit of an improvement over JAWS 11. Certainly, Freedom Scientific has incorporated some new features which some people will like. As for me, I would wish for features in JAWS which make it easier for blind people to compete in the workplace-something which Freedom Scientific seems to have lost sight of over the years.

Gerald, I couldn't agree more. The acronym JAWS "Job Access With Speech" was the Original Henter Joyce mission statement in a nut-shell. Jaws as we know it seems to be falling further-and-further behind the power curve with respect to the corporate and educational user. On a personal note I probably use less than 50% of the features included in Jaws simply because they don't pertain to my core needs and activities.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Virtual ribbon for Office 07 and 10 RE: Preview of JAWS 12
When we first started using OFFICE 2007 here at work, I came in on a Monday, and found that it had been pushed onto our Pc's over the weekend, no heads up, no training, nada! I felt overwhelmed, and purchased an Add on that offered a way around the ribbons, but as time went on, my natural curiosity took over, and I began exploring the ribbons, and found that they were not the monster I thought they were. I do not believe that providing an alternative interface is necessary, and, in fact, could be harmful, because it again steps away from the idea of the user mastering Windows concepts, and leads to a dependence on one screen reading product. I believe that Access Technology Institute offers a free tutorial on the OFFICE 2007 ribbons at: www.blindtraining.com Andy -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dujari, Prateek Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 9:44 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Virtual ribbon for Office 07 and 10 RE: Preview of JAWS 12 Hmm. I find this virtual ribbon stuff quite intriguing. I am one of those who doesn't want to learn or even deal with the new ribbon since Office 07 unless it is my only option. And the blurb below seems to suggest the virtual ribbon provides a menu like in office 03. If it is really like that I will be thrilled. However I'm staying grounded until I actually get to try it out once J12 is released. Prateek -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 4:48 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Preview of JAWS 12 Here's a brief preview of JAWS 12 I just came across: by Curtis Chong In early July, I attended a three-hour session conducted by Freedom Scientific during which the company provided a sneak preview of JAWS for Windows Version 12. Freedom Scientific has been working on this newest release of JAWS for more than a year, and it is hoped that JAWS 12 will be released before the end of 2010. Long-time JAWS users will be interested to know that in JAWS 12, Freedom Scientific proposes to replace the familiar JAWS Configuration Manager with something called the Settings Center. In the Settings Center, you can search for the setting that you want to change and then simply make the change. It is no longer necessary to explore a variety of menus to track down where, for example, you can change the level of punctuation that JAWS speaks or increase the speaking rate of JAWS. Also, in the Settings Center, your last 25 changes will be displayed at the bottom of the tree view, making it easier for you to fix a setting that might have been adjusted incorrectly or adjust settings that you change frequently. Another feature included in JAWS 12 is the ability to operate your computer from the Braille keyboard of any connected refreshable Braille display. Using the Braille keys, you can enter any character that would be entered through a standard QWERTY keyboard, and this includes all JAWS commands as well. Also, a proficient Grade II Braille user will be able to enter text in contracted Braille and have the result reverse-translated on the fly. I do not see much value in this feature for me, personally, but I hesitate to criticize the investment in time and effort that has been made by Freedom Scientific; I simply do not know how many Braille users out there have been longing to operate their computer from a Braille keyboard. The final noteworthy feature in JAWS 12 is the ability to use a Virtual Ribbon in Microsoft Office. Some blind computer users have expressed frustration with the ribbon that has been incorporated into Microsoft Office 2007 and now into Office 2010. What Freedom Scientific is proposing for JAWS 12 is to give the Office user the choice of whether to use the ribbon as is or to use the Virtual Ribbon provided by JAWS. This Virtual Ribbon provides a user experience that feels more like the traditional menus with which a lot of people are familiar. Time will tell whether this feature is worth the investment. As for me, since I feel quite comfortable with the Office ribbon as it is, I will probably choose not to use the JAWS Virtual Ribbon that comes with JAWS 12. In all, JAWS 12 seems like a bit of an improvement over JAWS 11. Certainly, Freedom Scientific has incorporated some new features which some people will like. As for me, I would wish for features in JAWS which make it easier for blind people to compete in the workplace-something which Freedom Scientific seems to have lost sight of over the years.

[JAWS-Users] Talking Desktop Clock
Hello all, After all of that recommendation to use Steve's Talking Clock under Windows 7, I found I had a problem with it once I turned the User Account Control back on. I will report this to the company. For now, I am trying the Talking Desktop Clock from the Programs page of www.jaws-users.com. It's working well for me and even works with the User Account Control turned on. -- Signed by Chris Hallsworth E-mail and Facebook: christopher...@googlemail.com MSN: ch9...@hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: http://twitter.com/christopherh40 Klango: chrishallsworth If you have any computer problems or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me on the above channels.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading 32 bit programs onto a 64 bit system
Hi Mike, As Chris indicated to you, that is true as long as the 32 bits program does not use a 16 bits installer. I use a CD catalog program on my XP computer which was installed with a 16 bits installer. However, I could not install it on my windows7 computer. The developer provided me with instructions to be able to use it on the windows7 computer. I had to copy various programs from the XP computer and register the programs in the registry of the windows7 computer to work. Amazingly, it works, but I would have preferred to have the program with a 32 bits installer instead of jerring rig my windows7 computer. Thought that you might like to know.
