Re: [JAWS-Users] An observation with JAWS 12 and Skype
Hi all. It appears my observations are unfounded. When I did an insert+q it told me I was using the scripts for Skype 4.x/5 Beta. I guess they got merged somehow with the JAWS 12 public beta, or they do come with JAWS 12 but they will only really work with the latest Skype. I am not sure.

[JAWS-Users] Working in a call centre with JAWS
So this will stay on topic of Jaws In most cases and with the help of script writing the simple answer is yes. Where some people, run into trouble is getting the brain to multi task effectively. Unless you want a person knowing you are blind. One wears a head set with Jaws in one, ear, customer chatting away in the right ear, and you answering the questions or getting information, while, typing on the keyboard. I have worked and still work at AAA, Call Center where 2 other blind and 2 visually impaired work too. I've been there 10.5 years. As noted if the company is willing to work with you, some script writing you will be fine. Especially with the latest jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
Hi All, Thanks for all your suggestions. Well, I tried power options and FS also checked to see that they were set to never. I'm not sure this is a JAWS issue, though, but when I leave the computer for awhile, it just stays where it is. Yesterday, A friend came to see if she could help. When she tried to use the mouse, it, too, didn't work. We had to turn it off in order for her to use the mouse. Today, I did what FS suggested, leave narrator running to see if it was still there. It wasn't. Neither was NVDA. When this happens the screen is dark, but my friend could see that the computer was on. This is a brand new computer with Windows 7 and I don't have any idea what I can do next. I'll give FS another try to see if anyone can come up with a solution or a suggestion.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010
Deanne: Thanks for reminding of this. One of the reports I have to generate pretty frequently requires me to gather data from several Excel spreadsheets. And, the easiest way to do that for this particular report is to use the append to clipboard feature in Excel, then dump the results of this aggregation into another document. The append to clipboard feature has been deliberately disabled in JAWS 11, and I have to run JAWS 10 to accomplish what I need to. This is doable, but is a waste of my time. I know there are some folks on the List from Freedom Scientific, and my hope is that in future revisions of JAWS the append to clipboard feature will be functioning again. William S.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
Hi All, Well, here I am again. Because I have JAWS talking, I tried to get the update for JAWS12. When I went through the menu, I got an error message indicating that the update couldn't be installed. There might be some corrupted files in my downloaded version. I was directed to do a repair of JAWS and try again. Since I have no dvd to do this with, I went to Freedom Scientific website to complete the process. Now, when I reach the website, only Freedom Scientific products for the Visually Impaired Windows Internet Explorer is read. When I press ins+page down, it says http//www.freedomscientific.com/fs internet protected mod on 105%. Can anyone clarify the meaning of this? I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round with this situation!! Please help before I throw this computer out the window!!! Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Working in a call centare with JAWS
I use jaws in a very fast paced call center. All the software is web based. However that don't mean it all speaks with jaws. We have about 6 different utils that do work out of the box and about the same scripted. So yes, indeed have someone that does scripting check them out. Also learn jaws very good, because one of its many off handed short cut keys or mouse controls can get you out of trouble quick!

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
My kid's computer, which is now running Windows 7, had a simillar issue with coming out of sleep. A week or so after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, Windows Update decided there was a better video driver available and performed an automatic update. With the new generic driver, it would switch to a screen resolution that the hardware did not support! I had to retreive the best available video driver for that model on the Dell website and install it. Additionally, I needed to hide that suggestion to update the driver again in Windows Update. Point is perhaps installing a better video driver will do the trick. Don Marang There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.

Well, I tried power options and FS also checked to see that they were set to never. I'm not sure this is a JAWS issue, though, but when I leave the computer for awhile, it just stays where it is. Yesterday, A friend came to see if she could help. When she tried to use the mouse, it, too, didn't work. We had to turn it off in order for her to use the mouse. Today, I did what FS suggested, leave narrator running to see if it was still there. It wasn't. Neither was NVDA. When this happens the screen is dark, but my friend could see that the computer was on. This is a brand new computer with Windows 7 and I don't have any idea what I can do next. I'll give FS another try to see if anyone can come up with a solution or a suggestion. I'm wondering if it's a Windows issue. Again, thanks to all who responded.

Go into power management, and set your computer the way you want, so that it doesn't go to sleek. For me, I set that to never, so my computer doesn't go to sleep or shut down, until I tell it too.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Working in a call centre with JAWS
Hi Grant, I do part of my work in a call center setting. Our teck guy did some basic scripts for jaws to actully make it possible for me to do my job. The data base is specialized for use in social service referral centers and it's very difficult to deal with. My collegue was a life-saver. He basically was taught scripting techniques from the guy who proceeded him, who had taught himself too. I feel very lucky to have been given such good help..It helps that Tulsa has a vendor of JAWS and their staff are very willing to help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Setting JFW to quietly open up a program
Hello Prateek, One way you can stop the application title and document name being announced when you start a program is by adjusting the verbosity settings in configuration manager. You can make the changes for a specific application or to apply as default for all programs. Use JAWS key with 6 to open a configuration manager for the application you are working in, and use CTRL+Shift+D to load the default configuration manager. With default.JCF open, use Alt with S to bring up the settings menu, and then press V to open the verbosity dialog box. Use tab key to move to the group of radio buttons from which to choose a verbosity level, and choose by using up and down arrow keys between the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. With one of the radio buttons selected, tab to the settings button for that level of verbosity and press spacebar. You will be presented with a list of items. The top choice is for the application start message. It should not be checked. If it is checked then press spacebar to remove the checkmark. Press the letter D to move to the document name choice and make sure it is not checked. If it is checked then use spacebar to remove the checkmark. Tab to OK and press spacebar. Tab to the group of radio buttons and make sure the selected button is for the level you changed. Tab to OK and press spacebar. Use CTRL+S to save changes and close the program with Alt+f4. You can do the above steps for each level of verbosity if you want to so that the program and document names are not announced when you open them. You could write AutoStartEvents in individual program script files, but I think this way should accomplish what you are trying to do. However, I am not sure how the changes will affect pop up windows, screen savers, etc. Take care.
