Thanks Mike Re: [JAWS-Users] notification chevron button Hi Anna, The Notification Area Icons are simply like the system tray where the status of whatever you have set to appear there shows up. You can press enter on any of the items and do different things like raise or lower the computer volume, check your WyFy connection and/or switch to another network. check the status of your antivirus software and quickly open the program and start a scan, and it may tell you that the Action Center in control panel is reporting a problem or two with your computer, and pressing enter on this will open up the Action Center so that you may address these problems. The last item on the list is usually a customize button which you can open to add or remove items from the list. You can also access the Notification Area by pressing the tab key 3 times from the desktop, and then pressing the space bar. I hope this explains it a little for you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] FW: WINDOWS 10 AND SPARTAN
Personally, I find it best to just keep my SMA active and update once a year. Sooner or later you're going to have to update and when you do it is going to cost a lot of money. Therefore, I feel it's better it's to pay a small amount per year and enjoy the new and enhance benefits of each jaws release.

Will it be accessible with jaws? and can you use adobe flash player with it? Spartan is a search engine built with Google Chrome and Firefox as the initial platform. It has characteristics of both Google Chrome and Firefox. Adobe Flash Player is an independent software package. However, be assured that Adobe is no fool. I'm sure that their software is already compatible or that they will come out with one of their new updates which will render it workable with Windows 10. Will it be accessible with jaws? I have never found a Microsoft major software package that wasn't accessible with Jaws. Some of the elements in Microsoft Office aren't Jaws friendly but for the most part, there hasn't been a Microsoft operating system that Jaws couldn't work with. Could I also use Free YouTube to MP3 converter to download and convert music videos to mp3? Again, you are asking about software which operates independently from the Windows operating system. I don't see any compatibility issues but only time will tell. Will I need to install Spartan if I upgrade to windows 10? Or, does it come installed with windows 10? Windows 10 will use Spartan in the same way as prior versions used Internet Explorer. The

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 15 and Microsoft Sharepoint.
Hi all, I never post here, but I joined this list a long time ago. I have a question. I'm testing the accessibility of a web site on Microsoft Share Point. I know it isn't completely accessible, but I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to accurately test it for accessibility using Jaws 15. I test for accessibility according to the standards listed in section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation act. I look forward to any suggestions/recommendations you can provide.

Re: [JAWS-Users] FW: WINDOWS 10 AND SPARTAN
They told me at FS, I believe $420 or maybe $480, and I could get some kind of discount on the next three updates if I paid up front. I believe that is right. Window-Eyes 9.1 is $895.

Keeping up those SMA's is a good idea, especially now that it can be done more cheaply for those who are able to use the home license for 120 dollars every 2 years which really isn't too awful bad a deal as long as we have a stable and fast product. If one feels the cost of keeping jaws isn't more than jaws is worth, then maybe it be time to try something else? I'm really glad we have so many choices to do \so, though I think I'd better stop before someone decides I'm going off topic *grin*.

I have 15 and if I want to get 17, I will need to purchase 16 which seen to me a waist of my money. Oh well jaws does not allow us to just get 17. -Original Message- From: valiant8086 Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2015 10:45 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] FW: WINDOWS 10 AND SPARTAN Hi. Cortana, excuse any typos, doesn't work too well on my netbook, but I'm willing to believe that I'm not using it properly and perhaps my computer isn't the best example in any case. As for Sparton, I tried to try it, and got nowhere. The only thing that almost worked was using the touch cursor commands, but I was unable to find the address bar. No surprise though, it is likely to take a bit for screen readers to get a handle on things with that, those virtual buffers tend to be tricky in that controls they aren't supporting just don't get any support at all. It isn't like a native interface where you can try to work around issues and it still mostly works.

I think I can add to the bit about Adobe. Apparently, according to a podcast I heard recently that I would name if I could remember which it was, Adobe is taking part in the development of Sparton in at least a small way, let alone making its own offerings compatible. I haven't proven this, I just heard it by word of mouth on a podcast and I don't know for certain.

How did you find out that Microsoft is no longer going to use internet explorer for windows 10? That information has been available for quite some time. If you were to Google Windows 10, you would find that information. In addition, Freedom Scientific and Microsoft always work in tandem and make sure that any new software they come out with is compatible. Can you tell me a little bit about Spartan?
