[JAWS-Users] Apology!
I want to apologise to all on this list. I had a bad weekend, but did not have the excuse to take it out on you. Please forgive me. I want to help all of you, and realize we are in different places with technology. I am so happy that the nice person found the Insert key. I knew it had to be on the laptop somewhere. One of my laptops has it exacetly in the same place, above the function keys. When you get a new computer, it is a adventure finding out where some keys are lol! Thanks guys and take care. I like all of the posts from mike B, Ted, Dave Carlson and all of you. It feels like I know you guys. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Cursers with sighted users
Hi all, I tried this command of ctrl + JAWS key + num pad minus in IE, but the JAWS doesn't follow the Virtual curser like it does the regular PC curser. I tried in a number of places and it works in Word, and lists of files. If you press it twice, it will stay active until you change it. I don't think this will work for us on HTML pages though. I can't wait to hear from others about this Take ccare all. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Congradulations Flor! I never never knew that command. I tried ctrl + JAWS key + num pad minus, and JAWS 16 latest update said JAWS curser will follow the PC. That should mean that the mouse pointer will follow where the PC curser is. Now, I will try this same command on the Internet with the virtual curser. This could be huge, Floor, because if the JAWS curser can follow the virtual curser, it seems like what we are hearing is where the mouse pointer should be for a sighted person to see. I will try in Ie and be back. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] David, please do something!
There are almost 700 people on this list so there is no way in creation I can possibly keep everybody happy. Granted some threads do drone on a bit longer than I would even care to follow but I do that never the less to make sure things stay on topic. There have been times in the past where we have stopped threads from being a never ending story, and this particular issue would have probably fell in that category soon as well. So now that it has been made an issue let's move on to the next major disaster and let this fade into the past. This is coming from a man who has a lot going on in his life besides managing a mailing list. Most days I monitor things to make sure it is on topic and everybody is getting along. Beyond that at times that's all I can offer. Certainly this past week is a prime example, never the less everybody move on to the next problem and let me get back to the New York Rangers game.

It seems like after a recent update, I am encountering unusual problems with JAWS which are frustrating and waste time to resolve. The only way to avoid them and go back to a time when JAWS reads as it should is to unload JAWS 16 and launch JAWS 14. By doing this, all problems are alleviated. I do this about 10 times every day now, so you can imagine the valuable time I am wasting. After I type my subject into the search edit field, then the program, JAWS 16, seems frozen and will not move or read. I go through hoops and loops and eventually get it to read. Then, when I get down to the results, the numbers before each different option is not read which is a real problem of orientation. It is difficult to remember where to go back to in order to enter and read results without any numeric representation. I waste a lot of time each day now changing JAWS programs in order to get the program to react as it should. This does not happen on any other websites, including Yahoo or any others. Does anybody else experience these problems? If so, how do you resolve them without launching a different version of JAWS? Eric Demery, if you are reading, perhaps you have some ideas why this all changed abruptly after one of the recent JAWS 16 updates and how we can resolve it as we work today?

[JAWS-Users] David, please do something!
I think the list is getting from what it is suppose to be. For the last week, all people are talking about is how wonderful it is to have Google on the desktop. I press alt + CTRL + I for IE and M for fs. I have Google set as my default search, so there I am in the edit box. One day is fine to talk about these things but a week? Also, I just can't hold back anymore from reading about this Insert C in word. It hasn't work since word 2007, and that ends that subject. Seeing spripts in a message, that is knowing something. What finally got me to send this message, is because of the person that asked how to get to the address bar in IE. That is like getting on this list and asking what is 2 + 2. This is not the purpose of this list. If you take a minute to look through help materials questions can get answered. I love this list; I have learned so much concerning security that best works with JAWS, Working with audio and video, and best of all, I never knew that you could convert Youtube videos into Mp3. I am really taking advantage of that, and that is what usually what is on this list. It's just for the last few days, people are talking about very elementary stuff day after day.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Cursers with sighted users
Hi Flor, This discussion has been an ongoing 1 on a couple of different lists' with an answer never found. It almost seems like you need to have a mouse pointer scheme set up but, I don't know how Jaws would react to altering the mouse pointer scheme. I took a look at it but, I just don't have the smarts or the inclination to screw up a good thing! LOL LOL I rarely need a sighted person to look at something for me but, when that occasion arises I use the Alt + Delete keystroke to tell me what the active cursor its position is. Sometimes this helps sometimes it don't but, between whatever sighted help is asissting me myself we manage to getter done. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] No insert key
Hi Alan, if you want to use the laptop layout for JAWS instead of the desktop layout, here is what you do. Bring up the JAWS menu. Now, open options menu. Then open basics. Start tabbing. There will be a list of three different keyboard layouts. Arrow down to laptop. Tab to Okay and press enter. Now, what you need to do is go to the help section in JAWS and read the book on laptop key commands. If you do not have a num pad, you have to learn a whole new set of commands. I like these commands much better and use them on a desktop. For example, the Caps lock is not the JAWS key. If you hold caps lock down and press M comma or period, you will hear previous letter, the current letter the cursor is on, or the period will give you the next letter. J, K, and L work the same way but for previous, current, or next word. U, I, and O do lines. This is much better than using the numpad, because the commands are right at your finger tips. If you are looking for a pure insert key, turn on keyboard help and tap keys to the right of the function keys or down the very right hand side of the keyboard. It may not say insert, but if you hear nothing when you press keys, one of those would be an insert key.

[JAWS-Users] No insert key
I want to try to clear this up. The JAWS key enables someone to perform a JAWS command. The Caps, insert, or other key you set as your JAWS key does just that. The JAWS key allows you to perform JAWS commands. What this person is saying is that they do not have ANY insert key on their personal laptop to use if they want to use as a true insert key. The insert key is on a computer to do more than perform JAWS commands. They want to know what to do if they truly want to use an insert key for other things besides using it as a JAWS command. Sorry, I can't remember who this is, but do you mean that your laptop has no insert key at all or do you mean that it has no num pad insert key. All laptops I have worked with have an insert key somewhere, even if, there is no num pad. I have two laptops that have no num pad, but there is an insert key either on the very top row of keys, usually it is to the right of the function keys. If it is not there, it could be also be in a column of keys that goes down the very right hand side of the keyboard. If there really is no insert key at all on that laptop, that would be a first for me. You will have to buy an external keyboard. BT keyboards are cheap and they work great! I wish you the best!

For Dropbox Speak Dropbox icons set them to, Show Icons In Notifications.

When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so just tab until you get into the list of applications. Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon. When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button, and press enter to close the dialogue. HTH, Rick Justice From: Brian Lee You might have figured it out already, but if not, here is what you can do in Windows 7. After setting JAWS to start in the system tray, move to the notification area using Windows key + B. Find the Notification Chevron button and press spacebar on it. Use up arrow key to the Customize choice and press enter key. If focus moves away from the notification area while using up or down arrow key, move back to it using Windows key + B, and if necessary use the chevron button again. After using the Customize button, use tab key several times until you find Application file for JAWS. As you tab across the window, you will find combo boxes for various programs. Each combo box has three choices. In the combo box for the application file for JAWS, use the up arrow key until the choice for showing JAWS in the notification area is in focus.

If they are not showing in the system tray you will need to change their settings in Notifications. Below are various steps on how to do this. For Dropbox Speak Dropbox icons set them to, Show Icons In Notifications. From: CrisM To get the icons to show up in the system tray, go to your desktop, tab down three times till you land on Notifications or something, then press the applications key and press enter on the customize notifications icon option. From there, you'll be able to move and and select which icons you want to appear in the system tray. I had this same issue and someone on here suggested this solution to me and it worked. Cris From: Rick Justice Open the start menu, and type the following in the search box: notification In the results, you should find, notification area icons, make sure that this is selected, and press enter. When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so just tab until you get into the list of applications. Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon. When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button, and press enter to close the dialogue. HTH, Rick Justice From: Brian Lee You might have figured it out already, but if not, here is what you can do in Windows 7. After setting JAWS to start in the system tray, move to the notification area using Windows key + B. Find the Notification Chevron button and press spacebar on it. Use up arrow key to the Customize choice and press enter key. If focus moves away from the notification area while using up or down arrow key, move back to it using Windows key + B, and if necessary use the chevron button again. After using the Customize button, use tab key several times until you find Application file for JAWS. As you tab across the window, you will find combo boxes for various programs. Each combo box has three choices. In the combo box for the application file for JAWS, use the up arrow key until the choice for showing JAWS in the notification area is in focus. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. The JAWS icon should now be in the notification area. Take care. Brian Lee Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws16 Another way to change languages on the fly?
I've always found the automatic language detection to never work satisfactorily. Not necessarily due to Jaws, but rather the fact that the language formatting from webpage to webpage and document to document is so inconsistent that Jaws changing languages becomes a major hit or miss proposition. TO the point where I've for many versions of Jaws now, simply turn that feature off all together. Jaws has gotten overall better with multiple language stuff, but still even with the latest innovations and voice profile management, switching between languages is not terribly fluid. I've always felt that some sort of enhanced combination of the dictionary manager and flexible web type of feature where one could designate certain domains or email addresses or documents to be spoken with a particular voice profile or language would be best. Being able to make a rule where domains ending in .es, .mx, .ar and so on or email addresses where you know the language is going to be one other than English be it from a particular address or a mailing list would be automatically spoken in Spanish for example and with the desired rate of speech and other parameters would be ideal. Even now, if I want to visit a site with a Spanish language domain or PDF or Word document, I still have to invoke keystrokes to go between one language to the next. Being able to associate any of the examples above to another voice profile and eliminating the toggle keystrokes would streamline the process and make the overall user experience a lot more efficient. It only seems intuitive that if you know absolutely that a site you're going to visit or an email address you're going to write to or receive or document you're going to work in will be in another language that Jaws will revert to speaking in that corresponding voice without the need of keystrokes to switch back and forth. I've written to FS's suggestion email about this from time to time. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Pablo Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2015 11:07 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws16 Another way to change languages on the fly? I am using the same keystroke to switch between english/spanish, for example, I press Insert + window Key + 1 and if jaws is speacking in English then switch to Spanish, and if jaws is speacking in Spanish, then jaws switch to English. How I do that? Well, you press insert + 0 on the number row, the screipt manager will open. Press control + shift + D, then you will open the default.jss file, it is the default script of jaws, it works every where, not just on a specific app. Then go to the end of the default.jss file pressing control end key, like on what ever text editor. Now if you want to take 2 keystrokes to switch between English to Spanish and a second to switch between Spanish to English then you will need to press more keystrokes, and modify the script. This script is to switch between the current language to another language, and vice bersa. Now if you rather to use just one keystroke to switch between both languages, do the following. Press alt + s, the script menu is open, select new script. A dialog is going to say something like ; Script name, type the name of that script, not spaces, not special characters, something like EnglishSpanish, or something that is going to identify what the script does, then press tab and is going to ask you if the new script can be attach to a key, select this check box, now press tab until assign to, here you are going to press the keyboard command that you want to use, you need to be careful that you will not use a keyboard command that is use already by jaws, jaws will let you know if it is already used, but you should not use a keyboard command used by windows or another program. Then press tab on and press space bar on ok button. Now you will be again on the script editor, copy and paste the script that I gave you, remember that you are going to paste the code between the line that say the name of your script, for example; Script EnglishSpanish Here you are going to paste the code EndScript After you paste the code, press control s, then it is all, you can close the script manager, and it is all. Now if you want to use 2 different keystrokes, you need to repeat these steps, using different keystrokes for English and different for spanish. On the code instead the code that I sent you, you should type something like; In the switching to spanish; SetSynthLanguage(Spanish (Mexico)) And on the script to switching to English this SetSynthLanguage(English (United States) I don't recommend create 2 different scripts to switch between 2 different languages, but it is up to you. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerardo Corripio Sent: Saturday, May 9, 2015 8:15 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re:

An issue that I am having, (which I've had in one way or another (most often with new keyboards is that when typing spaces between words are not recognized. Also, letters are often left out of some words, (particularly the U in the word You. As a result, even with shorter email messages, or Word documents, I'm using spell check (sometimes 8-10 times to add a missing letter to a specific word, or to insert a space between words. It may be that I am typing too lightly and need to press harder on the keyboard when I am typing and inserting spaces between words. I don't know? What I do know is that this is frustrating. Is there a command within JAWS that can fix this issue, or reduce its frequency of occurrence? I would appreciate any help with this.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 (latest) and Problems with Google Search
I use the latest version of JAWS 16, Win. 7 and IE 11. It seems like after a recent update, I am encountering unusual problems with JAWS which are frustrating and waste time to resolve. The only way to avoid them and go back to a time when JAWS reads as it should is to unload JAWS 16 and launch JAWS 14. By doing this, all problems are alleviated. I do this about 10 times every day now, so you can imagine the valuable time I am wasting. After I type my subject into the search edit field, then the program, JAWS 16, seems frozen and will not move or read. I go through hoops and loops and eventually get it to read. Then, when I get down to the results, the numbers before each different option is not read which is a real problem of orientation. It is difficult to remember where to go back to in order to enter and read results without any numeric representation. I waste a lot of time each day now changing JAWS programs in order to get the program to react as it should. This does not happen on any other websites, including Yahoo or any others. Does anybody else experience these problems? If so, how do you resolve them without launching a different version of JAWS? Eric Demery, if you are reading, perhaps you have some ideas why this all changed abruptly after one of the recent JAWS 16 updates and how we can resolve it as we work today?

If they are not showing in the system tray you will need to change their settings in Notifications. Below are various steps on how to do this. For Dropbox Speak Dropbox icons set them to, Show Icons In Notifications. From: CrisM To get the icons to show up in the system tray, go to your desktop, tab down three times till you land on Notifications or something, then press the applications key and press enter on the customize notifications icon option. From there, you'll be able to move and and select which icons you want to appear in the system tray. I had this same issue and someone on here suggested this solution to me and it worked. Cris From: Rick Justice Open the start menu, and type the following in the search box: notification In the results, you should find, notification area icons, make sure that this is selected, and press enter. When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so just tab until you get into the list of applications. Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon. When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button, and press enter to close the dialogue. HTH, Rick Justice From: Brian Lee You might have figured it out already, but if not, here is what you can do in Windows 7. After setting JAWS to start in the system tray, move to the notification area using Windows key + B. Find the Notification Chevron button and press spacebar on it. Use up arrow key to the Customize choice and press enter key. If focus moves away from the notification area while using up or down arrow key, move back to it using Windows key + B, and if necessary use the chevron button again. After using the Customize button, use tab key several times until you find Application file for JAWS. As you tab across the window, you will find combo boxes for various programs. Each combo box has three choices. In the combo box for the application file for JAWS, use the up arrow key until the choice for showing JAWS in the notification area is in focus. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. The JAWS icon should now be in the notification area. Take care. Brian Lee Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Where to download? Re: Dropbox
HI guys Where can I download the special Dropbox program you're talking about on here that notifies you automatically via sounds when files are uploaded/downloaded? and also have any of you done an audio podcast on how it sounds/works? With this special Dropbox program, are there special keys to go directly to the Dropbox area, rather than by going through the Notification area first via Insert+f11? Thanks for info. El 09/05/2015 02:26 p.m., Michael B. escribió: Hi Steve, To add to what Valiant86 is saying: Press, Insert / Jaws Key + F11, to open the system tray arrow down to see if the Speak Dropbox Dropbox icons are showing. If they are not showing in the system tray you will need to change their settings in Notifications. Below are various steps on how to do this. For Dropbox Speak Dropbox icons set them to, Show Icons In Notifications. From: CrisM To get the icons to show up in the system tray, go to your desktop, tab down three times till you land on Notifications or something, then press the applications key and press enter on the customize notifications icon option. From there, you'll be able to move and and select which icons you want to appear in the system tray. I had this same issue and someone on here suggested this solution to me and it worked. Cris From: Rick Justice Open the start menu, and type the following in the search box: notification In the results, you should find, notification area icons, make sure that this is selected, and press enter. When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so just tab until you get into the list of applications. Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon. When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button, and press enter to close the dialogue. HTH, Rick Justice From: Brian Lee You might have figured it out already, but if not, here is what you can do in Windows 7. After setting JAWS to start in the system tray, move to the notification area using Windows key + B. Find the Notification Chevron button and press spacebar on it. Use up arrow key to the Customize choice and press enter key. If focus moves away from the notification area while using up or down arrow key, move back to it using Windows key + B, and if necessary use the chevron button again. After using the Customize button, use tab key several times until you find Application file for JAWS. As you tab across the window, you will find combo boxes for various programs. Each combo box has three choices. In the combo box for the application file for JAWS, use the up arrow key until the choice for showing JAWS in the notification area is in focus. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. The JAWS icon should now be in the notification area. Take care. Brian Lee Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Upgrading to jfw 16 from 13
Hi all, I was on the freedom scientific website and was trying to find out how much it is going to cost to upgrade to jaws 16 encluding the SMA. Does anyone here have an idea. I am receiving an hp slip stream laptop this week and will want to eventually upgrade as I will have windows 8.1. I am thinking of getting a timed license but am wondering if it would be worth it or not since I would have to keep renewing the lisence every 90 days. I am going to call fs tomorrow and see what they say, but am just want to have an idea of this. Thanks.
