Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and TV guides

[Don Marang]

I have DirecTV as well.  I use TitanTV.com as a TV guide.  It is not
specific to DirecTV.  It is geared towards those who use tuner cards and
have PVR software to record shows.  It is very customizable and uses a
true HTML table to contain the grid.  You will need to start an account
and set up your provider and zip code.  It also allows you to select
your favorite channels and preferences.  I like to have it show a 6 hour
grid.  The new JAWS table navigation feature can be used to move through
the grid using the arrow keys.  If you set JAWS to read both column and
row headers, it will announce the channel / time as you move through the
grid. 

I have a DirecTV R22 DVR and have written some JAWS Scripts that make
recording to the DVR easy from this grid.  Look at
http://www.DonaldMarang.org/DirecTV.html and contact me if interested.

[JAWS-Users] MS excel file gets jumbled

[leonard morris]

I have an MS Excel 2007 file called address.csv. I added some data to 
one of the names that didn't have an email address at the time. When I 
saved the file and reopened it later it appears all data got moved.


for example, I had data in a1 b1 c1 etc etc. Now, instead of data being 
placed in the proper area everything got moved to a1. So a1 looks like 
this "First NameLast NameMiddle NameNameNickname
Email AddressHome StreetHome CityHome Postal CodeHome 
StateHome Country/RegionHome PhoneBusiness Street
Business CityBusiness Postal CodeBusiness StateBusiness 
Country/RegionBusiness PhoneCompanyJob Title"


You can imagine what the rest of this spreadsheet looks like when 
arrowing down starting with a1, a2, a3 etc etc. What a mess now. I don't 
have a clue how this happened and/or how to fix it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] having two braille displays working with JAWS simultaneously?

[northstar1950]

don't think that can work. you can have them both available but can 
only use one at a time.



Legend has it that on Friday 4/27/2012 02:15 PM, Flor Lynch said:


Hi,

It is possible to add other braille displays to JAWS, in addition to 
the one you normally use, either via the Add braille Display item in 
the Braille... JAWS Options menu or via the Synthesizer & braille 
manager in the JAWS utility manager. A friend would like to be able 
to use his pac mate and his Alva Satellite together, as two displays 
working with JAWS at the same time. Is this possible - in practice?


I can see how, in theory, it could be; but JAWS wishes to select one 
or the other display in practice, if both are set to be default. 
(Consider how one might want the other display, rather as in the 
manner of an alternate say-all speech synthesizer, for certain 
situations or applications.)

Well, my bank sometimes jaws like doesn't keep up with the ever changing
screens, and I have to keep the flash thingy turned on so I get all the
links to show up.
Facebook really doesn't agree with jaws some of the time. I could be editing
and or maybe doing a combo box and jaws just like is skipping out on me,
this is frustrating.
So I was thinking maybe this update addressed some of those issues.
Maybe jaws is too fast for some of these web sites, not meaning it talks
fast, but just the program runs faster on win 7 than like say some of these
web pages don't load as fast, so jaws skips around until the page is loaded
then it works as it should, does that make sense?

I've been reading all the posts and a little confused on the script issue
weather I am ok or not.

So, do I first look in the default area to see if that jb or js or whatever
it is is there and remove it?
I want to give this a try since this improvement suppose to help with
certain web pages using something that causes jaws to stop speaking, I have
been dealing with this now since using jaws 13 on my laptop. So, if they
have worked out that bug, then it's worth it to me to install this update,
but don't want to have to deal with some other issue in the process.
I saved some of the post which I usually do anyways, always find good help
here and a lot of knowledgeable people seem to have it figured out, smiles.

Hi David,



In the event you are just adding to your defaults rather than modifying our
scripts, this could be helpful avoiding problems in the future.



Regards,

Eric



Safely Adding Default Scripts


Starting with JAWS 12, the default script file makes use of
MyExtensions.jsb. MyExtensions.jss includes standard headers, but contains
only a couple of stub functions for source code. The purpose of the
MyExtensions scripts is to include in the JAWS distribution a script source
file that will never contain any Freedom Scientific source code, thus
allowing the end user to safely add new custom scripts without the need to
make any changes due to a JAWS update. For this reason, new scripts and
functions added to MyExtensions and placed in the user settings folder is a
safe way to add custom scripts to JAWS.



You should be aware, however, that MyExtensions should not be used to
overwrite existing scripts or functions. Default scripts and functions do
not call down to MyExtensions, so any scripts or functions in MyExtensions
that have the same name as those in default or application scripts will
never run. Scripts or functions with unique names will run, which is why you
can use MyExtensions for added scripts and functions.



Because JAWS key map (JKM) files are layered, you can also assign key
mappings to your added MyExtensions scripts in default.jkm in your user
settings. You can use Keyboard Manager to locate your scripts in
MyExtensions by looking under Default scripts and assign keys to your custom
scripts.



By adding your custom scripts to MyExtensions, and assigning keys in
default, you can safely extend JAWS scripts to include your own custom
scripts. If you have developed a library of custom functions in a JSB file,
you can add it to MyExtensions through the Use statement and it will now be
available to you.



Just remember to use unique names for scripts or functions added through
MyExtensions, and save your modified MyExtensions source and compiled files
to your user settings, and you should be able to enjoy your own custom
scripts added to JAWS without having to make changes due to JAWS updates.
You can also copy your MyExtensions files to new versions of JAWS. Depending
on the extent of your script coding, you may want to ensure that your
scripts are up-to-date with the latest script innovations, but you won't
need to modify your scripts simply because JAWS updated.

Be careful that you do not save that file back to the same location.
The safest thing to do is open the script manager then press
control+shift+d to open the default script file.

When you save and compile it will save to your user setting folder and
leave the all user default file untouched.

This way if you break something that you cannot put right you only have
to delete the default files from your user settings folder and you will
have full functionality returned.

Overwrite the all users file by mistake and break something then you are
reinstalling jaws to get it back.

No problem sometimes when I have to fill out a form I need to press the

I figure I would ask before I do it.

Let me understand: so you have an application as a PDF but in an
inaccessible format such that the edit fields or the edit spaces on the
PDF can't be accessed and edited by Jaws?
If yes, then there are many ways to convert it to formatted MS Word as 
you

yourself suggest with Open Book. there are other pieces of software to
convert to formatted MS Word also.
And once the form is in MS Word, you can just hit enter to create space 
in

the document to add your answers.
So what is the problem?

I have a PDF file which it is an application.  I wish to use OpenBook to

Any standards to do this?
Any tutorials or Tips and Tricks?

Safely Adding Default Scripts


Starting with JAWS 12, the default script file makes use of MyExtensions.jsb. 
MyExtensions.jss includes standard headers, but contains only a couple of stub 
functions for source code. The purpose of the MyExtensions scripts is to 
include in the JAWS distribution a script source file that will never contain 
any Freedom Scientific source code, thus allowing the end user to safely add 
new custom scripts without the need to make any changes due to a JAWS update. 
For this reason, new scripts and functions added to MyExtensions and placed in 
the user settings folder is a safe way to add custom scripts to JAWS.



You should be aware, however, that MyExtensions should not be used to overwrite 
existing scripts or functions. Default scripts and functions do not call down 
to MyExtensions, so any scripts or functions in MyExtensions that have the same 
name as those in default or application scripts will never run. Scripts or 
functions with unique names will run, which is why you can use MyExtensions for 
added scripts and functions.



Because JAWS key map (JKM) files are layered, you can also assign key mappings 
to your added MyExtensions scripts in default.jkm in your user settings. You 
can use Keyboard Manager to locate your scripts in MyExtensions by looking 
under Default scripts and assign keys to your custom scripts.



By adding your custom scripts to MyExtensions, and assigning keys in default, 
you can safely extend JAWS scripts to include your own custom scripts. If you 
have developed a library of custom functions in a JSB file, you can add it to 
MyExtensions through the Use statement and it will now be available to you.



Just remember to use unique names for scripts or functions added through 
MyExtensions, and save your modified MyExtensions source and compiled files to 
your user settings, and you should be able to enjoy your own custom scripts 
added to JAWS without having to make changes due to JAWS updates. You can also 
copy your MyExtensions files to new versions of JAWS. Depending on the extent 
of your script coding, you may want to ensure that your scripts are up-to-date 
with the latest script innovations, but you won't need to modify your scripts 
simply because JAWS updated.

Well, my bank sometimes jaws like doesn't keep up with the ever changing
screens, and I have to keep the flash thingy turned on so I get all the
links to show up.
Facebook really doesn't agree with jaws some of the time. I could be editing
and or maybe doing a combo box and jaws just like is skipping out on me,
this is frustrating.
So I was thinking maybe this update addressed some of those issues.
Maybe jaws is too fast for some of these web sites, not meaning it talks
fast, but just the program runs faster on win 7 than like say some of these
web pages don't load as fast, so jaws skips around until the page is loaded
then it works as it should, does that make sense?
