[JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 frequently goes silent
Recently I began consistently using jaws 16 and I'm seeing some odd behavior which I wonder if anyone can confirm. During remote sessions using VPN, jaws 16 frequently goes absolutely silent for minutes at a time. Occasionally speech will return if I wait long enough, but often I have to reboot the computer before I am able to regain speech. This same behavior would sometimes occur with older versions of jaws (prior to jaws 15), but then it seemed to be fixed. I work from home several days a week, signed on to my desktop at work and these frequent silences are very disruptive, not to mention the reboots. Has anyone else seen this behavior with jaws 16? I intended to report it to FS, but I'm not sure even how to explain it since it seems to happen randomly without regard to what application I may be using at the time.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 frequently goes silent
Kim, when Jaws goes silent, try one of two things: 1. Restart Jaws with Insert-WindowsKey+F4 (takes a little time) 2. Press WindowsKey+U; close the window that had opened, after Jaws begins talking.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: reading the statement while in spell check
Yea that happened to me also after hitting f7 in ms word 2013 with insert h. So I hit escape. I then kept hitting ctrl right arrow while in the proofing pane and jaws eventually landed on the misspelled word with the suggestion. After hitting enter on the suggested word Jaws said something like the spellcheck is complete and then said you are good to go.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 frequently goes silent
Yes, I am seeing similar issues. It seems like the computer is hanging up, so JAWS does not speak, and I can't switch to another open application. The silences range from 3 seconds to 34 seconds today. I am continuing to have random occurrences of spaces missing from e-mail replies that I create, and random 1-3 letters will be missing from what I am typing in the body of Outlook messages and in Word Documents. I've got an open ticket with FS regarding all of this. The problems were happening with JAWS14 and FS said that I had to update to JAWS 16. After battling my employer over this, JAWS16 was installed and the problems still existed. Went back to FS and was told that I had to install the next update and the problem would go away. I have since installed the last 2 updates, with absolute no improvement. I am trying to schedule a phone conference between FS and my IT department, but it is like herding cats.

[JAWS-Users] Keystrokes for Jaws and Windows
All, When giving instructions that include specific keystrokes, it would be quite helpful to everyone, if you first verify that the keystroke is correct, and then tell what the keystroke does. Key strokes in both Jaws and Windows change from time to time, so we can't assume that the same one will work from earlier versions with newer versions. For instance, Windows key + U, opens the Utility Manager in Windows XP, and the Ease of Access Center in Windows 7. After pressing that key combination, if you press Alt + N, Narrator will start. The keystroke for starting Narrator in Windows 8 is, Windows key + Enter. Insert, or Jaws Key, + H, places Jaws hot keys in the virtual viewer, and is used in Jaws 6 thru 16. You can always use keyboard help, Insert + the number 1 on the number row, to identify the location of keys and the function of certain key combinations. Also, you can look in the Jaws help topics, and the Jaws-users website. HTH, Richard Q.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 frequently goes silent
You know, I get the silent treatment sometimes with 13, more often than I'd like. I don't remember getting that for years until a couple of years ago. It makes me wonder if the net is so complex that JAWS just stumbles. It's frustrating to me, because without JAWS, nothing means anything to me, and I just guess at turning the thing off, keep hitting F4, Right Arrow and Enter.

No, it doesn't work all the time but often, it does. Easier to restart Jaws with Insert-WindowsKey+F4 ratehr than turning it off and then on.

How do you find the program in the list when there is no speech? Sometimes when this happens at home I can turn on NVDA and it gets things untangled.

I've got an open ticket with FS regarding all of this. The problems were happening with JAWS14 and FS said that I had to update to JAWS 16. After battling my employer over this, JAWS16 was installed and the problems still existed. Went back to FS and was told that I had to install the next update and the problem would go away. I have since installed the last 2 updates, with absolute no improvement. I am trying to schedule a phone conference between FS and my IT department, but it is like herding cats.

During remote sessions using VPN, jaws 16 frequently goes absolutely silent for minutes at a time. Occasionally speech will return if I wait long enough, but often I have to reboot the computer before I am able to regain speech. This same behavior would sometimes occur with older versions of jaws (prior to jaws 15), but then it seemed to be fixed. I work from home several days a week, signed on to my desktop at work and these frequent silences are very disruptive, not to mention the reboots. Has anyone else seen this behavior with jaws 16? I intended to report it to FS, but I'm not sure even how to explain it since it seems to happen randomly without regard to what application I may be using at the time.

[JAWS-Users] Question on JAWS update
Hi Group, I updated my JAWS 16 to 16.0.2339 version. Is this the latest JAWS 16 version. Also when I updated I had to reenter my JAWS hot key to get JAWS to start up with the hot key. I guess I was wondering why by just updated JAWS why would I have to setup my JAWS hot key again when I already had it setup? I am also wondering what other settings JAWS changed after updating. Has anyone else experience any of these changes when just doing the JAWS 16 update from the website? Thanks for any info on this subject.

Hi George, Since you will be reading this phone number with Jaws, I hope I don't get moderated for this. Call: 1-408-752-8052 This phone number replace the 800 number for Tell Me. When your call is answered say, Sports, then say, Baseball, then the name of the team you want if you're looking for a particular teams score. This message was sent using Windows7 J16.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading the statement while in spell check
Try this, press the jaws key and the letter H key at the same time. That will open up with the line that you are working on. Make your changes and press the tab key. it will ask you if you want to make the changes. Accept that and you are done. That works, I just tried it. What I did. I opened MS word and typed the folloing sentence. I went to the zo to see the elephant. I pressed F7 and started spell check. It stopped on zo and said that it was not in the dictionary. I pressed cap lock and H. It opened the line that I was working on. then I changed the Z O to the word zoo. I pressed the tab key, It asked me if I wanted to make the change. It is that simple.
