[JAWS-Users] An Accessibility Related Issue In MS Outlook 2016
Dear friends, I have started to use MS Outlook 2016 since yesterday. The matter of fact is that I have been facing problems regarding accessibility of MS Outlook. Whenever I open my inbox, sometimes it doesn't read full time for example it only says read 14 am instead of 9 14 am. Also it doesn't give me the date of receiving of email. Your quick response in this regard would highly be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] An audio tutorial on Google Chrome
I have not heard this tutorial as of yet. Those of you who have what are your opinions of the recording? I only know that JAWS is very clearly recorded along with David's' voice. It is somewhat of a large MP3 file but I might have the space to post it on the server if I obtain permission from the author.

[JAWS-Users] New update of jaws
Hi, We are having a new update of JF http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/JAWS/JAWSWhatsNew#Enhancements Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.1214 (November 2015) Smart Navigation, More Efficient Interaction with Complex Web Pages and Applications Today and in the future, users will be faced with an increased need to work with complex web forms, tables, and even applications that run inside of a web browser. This will impact your day to day interactions with services on-line such as banking and shopping, in addition to many web apps found in both companies and government agencies. For instance, Internet Explorer can be used to log onto a Microsoft SharePoint server to collaborate with other co-workers and create and store documents. The new Smart Navigation™ feature is designed to make it more efficient when navigating web-based applications with the Virtual Cursor as the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW or CTRL +LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW commands move by control instead of character and word. This makes navigation such as moving across toolbars, tab strips, and navigation links more like navigating around a desktop application. Pressing the Say Character, Say Word, or Say Line commands twice quickly changes to the traditional navigation by character, word, line, sentence, and paragraph so you can review the text of the control. Smart Navigation resumes when you move to a different control by pressing UP or DOWN ARROW or TAB. Alternatively, you can use the INSERT+X command to quickly toggle Smart Navigation on or off depending on the type of web site you are navigating. For example, if you use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move across a tab strip, you might hear JAWS announce something like; "Home tab selected," "Insert tab," and "Page Layout tab." If you wanted to review the items on the tab strip character by character, press the Say Character (NUM PAD 5), Say Word (INSERT+NUM PAD 5), or Say Line (INSERT+UP ARROW) commands twice quickly. You can now navigate by character or word until you press DOWN ARROW to move away from the tab strip to another control. Smart Navigation is off by default. To turn it on, there are a few ways. The quickest way to enable Smart Navigation is through the Startup Wizard which automatically launches after JAWS is installed. When the wizard starts, select the Next button until you reach the Common Options page. You will be focused on a group of radio buttons where you can use the ARROW keys to choose the Smart Navigation option you want to use (Controls and Tables or Controls). Pressing TAB moves you to another group of radio buttons that allow you to select how Forms Mode activates. For the best experience with Smart Navigation, it is recommended that users set Forms Mode to Semi-Auto or Manual. This prevents JAWS from unexpectedly turning on Forms Mode while navigating with the ARROW keys. Once you have changed the options you want, continue selecting Next until you reach the Braille Settings page and then select Finish to save your changes. Smart Navigation will now be enabled for any environments that use the Virtual Cursor. Alternatively, Smart Navigation can be configured through Settings Center or Quick Settings. For instance, you may want to use Smart Navigation in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. You can also temporarily toggle Smart Navigation on or off using the INSERT +X command. For instance, if you have configured Smart Navigation to be enabled by default and you encounter a web page where you would prefer not to use it, you can press INSERT+X to turn it off and use the more traditional navigation. JAWS will switch back to Smart Navigation when focus moves away from the browser or you navigate to a different web site. This command is also useful if you do not want to use the Say Character, Say Word, or Say Line commands twice quickly to switch to standard navigation. It offers the additional benefit of not automatically switching back to Smart Navigation when you move to a different control with the UP or DOWN ARROW keys. You can just press INSERT+X again to toggle back to Smart Navigation when you are ready. As Smart Navigation is toggled, the JAWS focus will always remain at the current location of the toggle. Anytime you are using Smart Navigation, JAWS will work in Screen Layout. This presents pages in the virtual buffer similar to how they appear visually on the screen. Toolbar buttons or other lists of controls that are visually laid out horizontally on the screen are displayed on one line in the virtual document, allowing a single press of the DOWN ARROW to skip the entire toolbar instead of having to move from button to button to get past it. For a great example, please try JAWS 17 on a web form such as the WebTrack sample form on the Surf's Up pages. On this page, you will be able to see the power of navigating more efficiently with the DOWN ARROW then in previous versions. Smart Navigation offers two modes, Controls and Tables, or Controls.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 17.0.1214 Update Download Links & What's New / Fixed
Howdy All, Below are the download links for the latest J17 update: & what's new / fixed in this release 32 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J17.0.1214enu-x86.exe 64 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J17.0.1214enu-x64.exe What's New: Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.1214 (November 2015) The following is a list of improvements made between the initial JAWS 17 release and the November 2015 update. Smart Navigation list of 6 items • When INSERT+X is used to toggle Smart Navigation, the JAWS focus now remains at the location on the web page where you performed the toggle. • The command to temporarily toggle Smart Navigation (INSERT+X) can now be found using the JAWS Command Search feature (INSERT+SPACEBAR, J). • Resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading list items on certain web pages when using Smart Navigation. • Addressed a reported issue with the commands to read from the beginning of the line to the cursor (INSERT+HOME) and from the cursor to the end of the line (INSERT+PAGE UP) not working in a table cell when using Smart Navigation. • When using the V and SHIFT+V Navigation Quick Keys to move to the next or previous visited link, resolved an issue where all links on the current line were being read instead of the specific visited link if Smart Navigation was active. • Addressed an issue where many blank lines were appearing on some web pages with Smart Navigation active. list end JAWS list of 12 items • Addressed an issue with the Amazon Product Search Research It lookup source not returning results as expected. • Addressed an issue with symbols not being read as expected when inserted into a document using the Select a Symbol to Print dialog box (INSERT+4). • In response to customer feedback, the folder path for the Explore Scripts shortcut has been changed from C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\17.0\Scripts\enu to point to C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\17.0\Scripts. • This update contains new drivers from HumanWare for the Brailiant BI braille display in order to support Windows 10. • If Active Follows Braille is not enabled, addressed issues where the braille display would not move away from the structured line when panning, or using the commands to move the braille cursor to the next or prior line (RIGHT ROCKER BAR on Focus Blue braille displays). • When entering text from the Perkins-style keyboard on a braille display using Unified English Braille (UEB) or another form of Contracted English Braille, resolved an issue where contracted words beginning with dots 4-5-6, such as spirit, many, world, etc., were not appearing correctly in documents. The dots 4-5-6 portion of the word was being dropped when the word was back-translated. • When verbosity for Braille Flash messages is set to Advanced, resolved customer reported issues where "sts" messages were being shown on the braille display even when the option to display status information was turned off. In addition, the flash messages for the INSERT+T and INSERT+Q commands now display the short message as expected instead of the long message. • If the JAWS cursor is configured to follow the PC Cursor using the CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD Minus command, an issue was resolved where JAWS was not reading as expected when moving between applications with ALT+TAB. • Addressed an issue with JAWS not correctly identifying the factorial symbol in MathML content. • If you perform a two-finger double tap to open a context menu while text selection is active, the flick gestures will now work as expected to navigate through the menu items. Text selection is toggled by performing a triple tap with one finger. • If you perform a five-finger tap to open the Run JAWS Manager dialog box from an Internet Explorer window, addressed an issue where you could not use touch gestures to navigate this dialog box. • To address potential issues, changes have been made to the process of compiling scripts so they are compatible with versions of JAWS prior to 17. The Compatibility Mode option has been removed from Script Manager and the –c command line switch has been removed from scompile.exe. To compile scripts that will work with prior versions of JAWS, you must now insert the following line without the quotes into your JSS file: ";#pragma usePoFile 0" list end Adobe Acrobat list of 1 items • Resolved an issue reported by Adobe where labels for check boxes in PDF documents were being read twice in the virtual buffer. list end Microsoft Excel list of 2 items • In Windows 8.1, resolved an issue where the backstage view in Excel 2013 was not being announced when it gained focus. • Resolved a reported issue with the GetCellSpan script function. list end Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox list of 5 items • Resolved a customer reported issue where JAWS was not indicating the Next and Prior links as well as links to other pages in the search results on Bing.com. • After typin

this is what FS responded If you purchased the SMA with the JAWS� screen reading software version 16.0 release, it will enable you to obtain the next release or the next two releases depending on the SMA you purchased. Therefore, if your SMA will allow you to obtain the JAWS 17.0 release and the JAWS 18.0 release if this is the following release after JAWS 17.0. If you have a SMA for the nenxt release that enable you to get JAWS 17, you can’t not use JAWS 17 and use JAWS 18.0 for your SMA. so I guess there are many types of SMAs that can be purchased, you need to ask about which one is best for your needs! -Original Message- From: Neil Towery Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 4:28 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] november windows 10 update I will be very interested in what FS tells you.

[JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info this is what FS responded If you purchased the SMA with the JAWS� screen reading software version 16.0 release, it will enable you to obtain the next release or the next two releases depending on the SMA you purchased. Therefore, if your SMA will allow you to obtain the JAWS 17.0 release and the JAWS 18.0 release if this is the following release after JAWS 17.0. If you have a SMA for the nenxt release that enable you to get JAWS 17, you can’t not use JAWS 17 and use JAWS 18.0 for your SMA. so I guess there are many types of SMAs that can be purchased, you need to ask about which one is best for your needs!

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info
I encourage you to also contact the Customer Service people and look at the best possible options for upgrading and getting an SMA at the same time. And of course, make sure you are on the Home Edition if you qualify. When your license has fallen behind 2 or more years, it can get very pricey to get caught up which is why the SMA program is so good. For Home Edition, it works out to about $60 per year. Anyway, please talk to Customer Service and make sure you know the best options.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17.0.1214 Update Download Links & What's New / Fixed
I'm also happy the Jaws update fixed the Jaws search command (alt insert followed by j) issue. It now works properly. On 11/19/2015 1:10 AM, Mike B. wrote: Howdy All, Below are the download links for the latest J17 update: & what's new / fixed in this release 32 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J17.0.1214enu-x86.exe 64 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J17.0.1214enu-x64.exe What's New: Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.1214 (November 2015) The following is a list of improvements made between the initial JAWS 17 release and the November 2015 update. Smart Navigation list of 6 items • When INSERT+X is used to toggle Smart Navigation, the JAWS focus now remains at the location on the web page where you performed the toggle. • The command to temporarily toggle Smart Navigation (INSERT+X) can now be found using the JAWS Command Search feature (INSERT+SPACEBAR, J). • Resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading list items on certain web pages when using Smart Navigation. • Addressed a reported issue with the commands to read from the beginning of the line to the cursor (INSERT+HOME) and from the cursor to the end of the line (INSERT+PAGE UP) not working in a table cell when using Smart Navigation. • When using the V and SHIFT+V Navigation Quick Keys to move to the next or previous visited link, resolved an issue where all links on the current line were being read instead of the specific visited link if Smart Navigation was active. • Addressed an issue where many blank lines were appearing on some web pages with Smart Navigation active. list end JAWS list of 12 items • Addressed an issue with the Amazon Product Search Research It lookup source not returning results as expected. • Addressed an issue with symbols not being read as expected when inserted into a document using the Select a Symbol to Print dialog box (INSERT+4). • In response to customer feedback, the folder path for the Explore Scripts shortcut has been changed from C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\17.0\Scripts\enu to point to C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\17.0\Scripts. • This update contains new drivers from HumanWare for the Brailiant BI braille display in order to support Windows 10. • If Active Follows Braille is not enabled, addressed issues where the braille display would not move away from the structured line when panning, or using the commands to move the braille cursor to the next or prior line (RIGHT ROCKER BAR on Focus Blue braille displays). • When entering text from the Perkins-style keyboard on a braille display using Unified English Braille (UEB) or another form of Contracted English Braille, resolved an issue where contracted words beginning with dots 4-5-6, such as spirit, many, world, etc., were not appearing correctly in documents. The dots 4-5-6 portion of the word was being dropped when the word was back-translated. • When verbosity for Braille Flash messages is set to Advanced, resolved customer reported issues where "sts" messages were being shown on the braille display even when the option to display status information was turned off. In addition, the flash messages for the INSERT+T and INSERT+Q commands now display the short message as expected instead of the long message. • If the JAWS cursor is configured to follow the PC Cursor using the CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD Minus command, an issue was resolved where JAWS was not reading as expected when moving between applications with ALT+TAB. • Addressed an issue with JAWS not correctly identifying the factorial symbol in MathML content. • If you perform a two-finger double tap to open a context menu while text selection is active, the flick gestures will now work as expected to navigate through the menu items. Text selection is toggled by performing a triple tap with one finger. • If you perform a five-finger tap to open the Run JAWS Manager dialog box from an Internet Explorer window, addressed an issue where you could not use touch gestures to navigate this dialog box. • To address potential issues, changes have been made to the process of compiling scripts so they are compatible with versions of JAWS prior to 17. The Compatibility Mode option has been removed from Script Manager and the –c command line switch has been removed from scompile.exe. To compile scripts that will work with prior versions of JAWS, you must now insert the following line without the quotes into your JSS file: ";#pragma usePoFile 0" list end Adobe Acrobat list of 1 items • Resolved an issue reported by Adobe where labels for check boxes in PDF documents were being read twice in the virtual buffer. list end Microsoft Excel list of 2 items • In Windows 8.1, resolved an issue where the backstage view in Excel 2013 was not being announced when it gained focus. • Resolved a reported issue with the GetCellSpan script function. list end Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox list of 5 items • Resolved a customer reported issue where JAWS was not

Re: [JAWS-Users] November windows 10 update
Hi Kevin, Yes, you should check, you will also notice many new sub categories which were added. Also, some changes in current sub categories. Over all, w-10 and Jaws work fantastic after the major update. Things are a lot smoother now. The new keystroke for the live tile region, in the latest Jaws 17 update, seems to be hit or miss right now. But finally, the smart navigation, seems to be working very well for me right now in w-10. I have it set to, controls and tables, and have chose semi-mode. Thanks to, Freedom Scientific and Microsoft, w-10 is working great... Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

There is an interesting story on my web page about the first talking computer linked to an IBM main frame computer. -Original Message- From: anna vimini Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 4:48 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info, but if you have an upgrade to Jaws 16 or 17 should it not be stated in the about section of jaws? [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info this is what FS responded If you purchased the SMA with the JAWS� screen reading software version 16.0 release, it will enable you to obtain the next release or the next two releases depending on the SMA you purchased. Therefore, if your SMA will allow you to obtain the JAWS 17.0 release and the JAWS 18.0 release if this is the following release after JAWS 17.0. If you have a SMA for the nenxt release that enable you to get JAWS 17, you can’t not use JAWS 17 and use JAWS 18.0 for your SMA. so I guess there are many types of SMAs that can be purchased, you need to ask about which one is best for your needs!

Re: [JAWS-Users] November windows 10 update
hey Jim I just checked my start menu, some of my programs when highlighted such as Internet Explorer say jump list what's that? -Original Message- From: jim Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 11:58 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] November windows 10 update Hi Kevin, Yes, you should check, you will also notice many new sub categories which were added. Also, some changes in current sub categories. Over all, w-10 and Jaws work fantastic after the major update. Things are a lot smoother now. The new keystroke for the live tile region, in the latest Jaws 17 update, seems to be hit or miss right now. But finally, the smart navigation, seems to be working very well for me right now in w-10. I have it set to, controls and tables, and have chose semi-mode. Thanks to, Freedom Scientific and Microsoft, w-10 is working great... Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info
I think this is probably not so simple any more like it was for XP, 7, and 8. Even if 10 is to be the last version of Windows, it will be updated on a faster scale than ever before. This has the potential to break accessibility in a way that the current version of Jaws, or any screen reader, may not handle well if left forever on an old version. - Original Message - From: "Kevin" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info but if one chooses to just stick with jaws 16.0.4463 running windows 10 won't you be ok forever because microsoft will not be creating any OS higher than 10 and jaws 16.0.4463 works fine.

[JAWS-Users] jaws activating wrong link why?
I'm not sure if it's after the windows 10 update, or after I made changes in the quick setting which I don't remember what the changes were; however, here is the skinny. Let's say there are two links I am passing by, about and contact us. I click contact us and the about page opens. The only way I can get the right link to launch is listing the links, tab to move to link, then activate link. That is to much just to read a page lol, thoughts? Windows 10, jaws 16 and IE 11.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws activating wrong link why?
Hi, I can confirm this behavior. It's happened a few times to me recently on Amazon.com. I was on the your orders link. It verbalized your orders but somehow after entering on what verbalized as your orders I ended up on a page for sellers on amazon. thank goodness for alt left arrow. I could reproduce this at will so I think I can safely say it wasn't user error in this case. As for its cause or solution such still escapes me but I can indeed confirm the behavior you report. I know it isn't a solution but sometimes knowing that an anomaly isn't unique to you and your set up can bring a bit of solace.
