Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
I am a medical transcriptionist and would go for the laptop. You can always use a regular keyboard with it at home. It's nice to have the freedom to take your work on the road if you want to do that.

I will be running a transcription platform, which handles downloading and playing of audio plus the word processing part of transcription of that same audio. The minimum requirements are for a core 2 duo processor with 3 gigs of ram 32 bit, or 4 gigs with 64 bit. I realize running jaws ups these requirements somewhat if I don't want to have lags and sluggishness. Can I get any suggestions for just how much processor speed and ram I should spring for? Should I just go all out and get as much power and memory as I can afford? Is anybody using JAWS with a solid state drive, and what's the performance there like? Any configurations I should avoid? Should I go desktop or laptop? I have JAWS 13 and will be using the Windows 7 home version. Thanks in advance and thanks for having me on the list.

[JAWS-Users] Ctrl Y command in Excel
I am using Win XP Pro, MS Office 2010, and latest version of JAWS 13. In Excel, using the keyboard command Ctrl Y is supposed to repeat your last action. So, for instance, if I select insert a row and then following the insertion use Ctrl Y it should keep repeating the action. Up until lately this command worked fine but for some reason no longer does. Any idea on what I may have done to foul this up? This is a standard Window's command I have used for years so should not be anything to do with JAWS as far as I know.

That said, I have another 15 inch laptop that I have 4 USB ports on and I plug a keyboard into the computer alone with a scanner and remote hard drive and printer so that it works like a desktop but I could pick it up and travel with it.

Hi listers, Not sure how I avoided it this long, lol, but I’m ready to bow to the inevitable after battling with yet another captcha and an audiofile I couldn’t figure out. I have Firefox installed but am fairly new to it, if that matters. (I’m not sure of the version off hand, though I installed about a month ago via Ninite if that tells anyone.) Anyway, is Webvisom still only available by invitation? If so, I’d appreciate one and any tips for using/getting started with it. I know someone did a tutorial on it at some point but don’t seem to have it saved on my new system, so if anybody can direct me there that’d be great. Also, is Selona really dead in the water? Sorry for all the questions. Tia.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Jeez, people don't even think before they write. What good is power graphics going to do? She's not a gamer, and a better graphics card will make no difference in transcription. As far as my 2 cents: Go for a fast processor, it doesn't have to be a quad-core but it should be dual-core. The processing and front-side bus speed should be fast, and get as much memory as you can, 4GB preferrably 8GB although you really don't need more than that. If you go above 4GB, you will by definition be getting a 64-bit system. Frankly, I would opt for a desktop because of the additional ports and possibility to expand it easier.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Tim, Respectfully, I think funds are better spent in other areas. I have done computer tech work for years, run Jaws on lots of different configurations, and except for certain video conflicts back several years ago, I really don't see any performance differences with high-end video cards vs. shared video on the motherboard, as long as there is enough system memory to share. I guess the only way I'd change my opinion is to see a comparison of the same OS where a high-end video card could do certain things that couldn't be done with shared graphics, all other things being equal. So, I don't really see the point of spending an extra $150 on a high-end video card just for Jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Ok, you want a difference. How about the flash up dater. Just about everybody on this list has problems seeing that window with jaws. I would also bet that most have the standard min in graphics that was offered with computer. Well I see that window and no problem on the update. Also got 2 xp pro boxes with the same except one has cheap ATI and the other has GForce gamer card. The high end box sees my local weather ap. Only on a 64bit op with 4gig or better ram. Would I say it might not matter with on board graphics. But with prices now it really ain't that much. You don't get into real money cards until you run dual video cards.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Tim, to clarify: are you saying that some programs are accessible to JAWS, i.e., speak better, using a high-end graphics card, or that you, as a person with some vision, can read them? You use the word see here so I want to know what you are saying. Does JAWS have some functionality on the high-end system that it lacks on the other one assuming no vision?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Well, I got the new computer. It's an I7 processor with 8 gigs of ram, which were the two things I was going for. It's a laptop. I decided I wanted to be able to take it with me if I needed to. So far, so good. It seems to be a rockin little machine. It's a 14 inch model, very light and thin with pretty long battery life. I've installed Jaws 13 and Microsoft 2010 so far. This is my first email on it. Thanks for everyone's help. I may have more questions in the future.

This time, I went more top end and bought 8 gigs of memory, an Intel I 5 2430 processor (quad processor with turbo boost) and a 7200 rpm hard drive. I am using office 2010 and windows 7 home premium. I wanted something that would not get bogged down when working with Word(a memory hog) and outlook and the internet. I can have numerous documents, web pages and excel all opened and no slowdown. I am a 22 year user of jaws and have never had a computer like this and after two months, have not locked it up. I agree with the one suggestion that you consider whether you need the ability to travel with the computer and if not, the desk top might be fine as they are usually cheaper for the same capability as a laptop. That said, I have another 15 inch laptop that I have 4 USB ports on and I plug a keyboard into the computer alone with a scanner and remote hard drive and printer so that it works like a desktop but I could pick it up and travel with it. This laptop however weighs 6 pounds versus 3 pounds for my newest laptop with a 13 inch screen. Good luck and have fun getting the right computer. If you take second best, you will not enjoy the experience. And I am the voice of experience talking about that aspect of the issue.
