That's why I have one laptop at W 10 and one at W 7.  I have the best of 
both worlds for the time being?

My all-in one printer is 4 years old so got to find out if there's a Windows
10 driver available.  I would hate to upgrade only to find out I have to go
out and purchase a new one.

Also using Open Book 9.0.  Is that compatible with windows 10?  How about
Microsoft Office 2007?  These are my issues that is holding me back from
upgrading to Windows 10.

I'm confused as to why people have stopped using this program?

Just because it's not being supported anymore, doesn't make it any less of a
great media player.  It just means we won't see anymore versions past the
current one.

Is there any reason people are stopping it's use?

Just curious because if I'm missing something, then maybe I should stop
using it also.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] music stuff and more.

I have a couple of questions which may or may not be related, or even
relevant. I am running windows 7 and jaws 16.

I am currently using winamp as my music program. But, since it’s no longer
supported I’m thinking of using something else. I have VLC on my computer,
and it works fairly well, but I miss the enhancements that jaws scripts give
to winamp. I also have a copy of windows media player on my hard drive, but
I hate it with a passion, but I might be talked into updating it and trying
it again. So any recommendations for a replacement for winamp?

Second question, what are rapsody and spotify? Does one work better than the
other with jaws?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Bob

I don't know why this topic keeps running. Some think that you should wait 
to update to windows ten and some think that it is OK to update now. So 
what! Let's let each do as he pleases and quit quibbling about it.

Besides the fact that actual tech professionals from both Dell and HP
continue to recommend waiting to upgrade to Windows 10 there really is no
reason to upgrade if you don't have to. If Windows 7 or 8.1 works then don't
break what is not already broken. I have very successfully helped install
Windows 10 as both upgrades and as clean installs on new machines and while
it is a good Operating Machine there is issues of accessibility that both
Microsoft and all the major screen readers are continuing to work out. That
is not a negative on any company it is a fact based on a very deep
understanding of computers as an instructor, programmer, and writer of
tutorials since  1984.
Never mind the fact that many people are upgrading only to find that they
have printers, scanners, external hard drives, and other peripherals that
will no longer be supported under Windows 10. Not everyone learns at the
same level. And not everyone can afford to replace outdated hardware just to
scan their electric bill after they get a nasty surprise from an upgrade.
I have my machines working just great on Windows 10 and for the record I
used Windows 10 the Missing Manual via bookshare. I even got my windows 7
sound scheme working on a machine I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10
with a little bit of geeking and tweaking.
And I highly recommend that if you do not need to upgrade this minute, wait
a few months to upgrade to Windows 10. Unless you are buying a new machine.
Then by all means get a Windows 10 machine with at least 16 GB of ram and
run Jaws 17 and it will rock your world.

Winamp is still my default player, but, lately I've noticed more and more 
sluggishness, thought about going to foobar2000, but, that's a whole new 
learning curve I don't want to go through until winamp plays out.

Does winamp work on later operating systems, like windows 10?

[JAWS-Users] Insert key stopped working

[wayne smith]

Hello-

This is a new one for me.  When I use the insert/Jaws key it no longer does
the Jaws commands associated with it.  For example, if I do Insert plus T to
learn the window I am in  it only says T.  I don't know if I accidently put
in a command to change things.  This just started.  Using JAWS 14 with
Windows 7.

 

Happy Thanksgiveing,

[JAWS-Users] decided on laptop, thanks

[Lenny McHugh]

Thanks to all that made recommendations. Price being the main force, I 
decided on a special black Friday hp for wal-mart. Although a basic model it 
should do everything that I need for $199.
I only will use it for email, internet and MS word. Later maybe watching a 
movie. I did decide that I wanted the windows 10 system. Why spend $50 more 
for an old, but new, windows 7 machine. I would have liked the bigger HD but 
I can make this one work. The better HP system from Staples is a notebook 
not a laptop and I like the full size keyboard. I may not have to purchase 
an external full size Bluetooth keyboard and adaptor. Here is the

[JAWS-Users] Apparently Google Chrome doesn't support importing bookm arks from Firefox.

[Flor Lynch]

Hi,
  was able to import all of my Favorites from Internet Explorer – including 
those from my XP machine that went south last December (probably thanks to an 
iPhone app that picked up my Favorites from it), but not Firefox (at least on 
my present desktop; and, perhaps, not Internet Explorer 11 here either?) I’ll 
confess to not yet having listened to David Moore’s audio tutorial. Hopefully 
there’s a way to get Google Chrome to recognize all of your other seriously 
used browsers, and import from each of them.

Re: [JAWS-Users] music stuff and more.

[Mike B]

Howdy Kimsan,

Here you go!  A Happy& safe Thanksgiving to all!

From: Scorpio Forever
I wrote this tutorial up some time ago for someone else, and, given the 
currently circulating thread of Winamp playlists, I thought I would post it.

Basically, it deals with creating and managing playlists using Winamp and 
Jaws.

I'm sure there are no end of ways to create and manage playlists, so, keep 
in mind that the below instructions are of my own method, and I've been 
using the below method for quite some time.

Hope people get a use out of it.

***Begin Tutorial***

Believe it or not, it's easier to create a playlist with Winamp, than it 
sounds.

First, go to your desktop, or where ever you keep the Winamp shortcut, and 
enter on it.

Once the Winamp window opens, control+tab twice to get to the playlist 
editor.

If you find that you've used the control+tab keystroke twice, and Jaws 
didn't say playlist editor, then that means you have the playlist editor 
closed.

You can open it in one of two ways.

You can press the keystroke of alt+E, or you can press alt+F, then arrow 
down to playlist editor and enter on it.

I think you'll find the alt+E keystroke is easier.  Smile.

In any case, once Jaws reports that the playlist editor is opened, 
control+tab up to the playlist editor.

Now, this is going to sound weird, but go with me on this.

Once you land in the playlist editor, press control+A to highlight 
everything, then press delete.

Don't worry if Jaws doesn't say anything, what you've essentially done is 
delete any tracks that were in there from the last time you used Winamp to 
listen to something.

Unfortunately, Winamp likes to leave residual ghost images of files it's 
played in the last instance, and so, in order to create a clean playlist, 
you have to delete what was previously there.

So, now that you've done that, press the letter L for lists, and this will 
open up an open dialog box.

Those of you familiar with downloading from send space, or saving as and the 
like, will be familiar with this dialog box.

When this dialog box opens, you'll land on the filename edit box.  Do a 
shift+tab to go to the file list window just above the filename edit box.

Now, depending on where you last took Winamp, you won't know where you'll be 
in the file list, so a good rule of thumb is to press the backspace key 
seven or eight times until Jaws stops talking.

When he does, do a say line command with insert+up arrow, and Jaws should 
read out, "Not Selected My Documents".

This means you're on your desktop, and you can now go to the folder where 
the files are that you want to play.

So, if the files are in a folder three levels deep into your my documents 
folder, let's call it Thea's audio files, you would press the spacebar to 
select My Documents, press the enter key to go into that folder, then arrow 
or find the folder titled Thea's Personal Files, highlight it, then press 
enter.

Once in that folder, find the next folder, called Thea in Hawaii, enter on 
it, and finally go to Thea's audio files, and press enter.

Be careful here, you don't want to make a common mistake that everyone 
makes, even me before I realized it, smile, do not touch any of the arrow 
keys, or the spacebar key, or anything on your keyboard until you've done a 
select all with control+A, and I'll explain later.

Once you've done the control+A, tab to the open button in the dialog box, 
and press the spacebar to allow Winamp to place all the files you just 
selected into the playlist.

There is an even easier way to create a playlist, if you aren't selective 
about what it is you're wanting to play, in other words, if you're not 
actually trying to create a playlist for a party, or just want some music 
playing in the background while you're cleaning house, or a book playing 
while you're knitting or something like that, you can just go to your 
desktop, without opening Winamp, navigate to the folder where the music 
files are that you wish to play, now, this could be a music album, or an 
audio book of some kind, and highlight it without going into the folder.

Once you do this, press your applications key, which is generally the first 
key to the left of the right control key (*keep in mind your keyboard 
configuration my be different from other configurations*), and arrow down to 
"Play in Winamp", or press the letter P for playlist, and Winamp will open 
up and start playing the tracks in the folder from the beginning, and in 
alphabetic order.  If you wish to add more folders to the playlist, simply 
pause the playback of the playlist you just  started playing, alt+tab back 
to the window where your files were located, and navigate to the folder 
where the other files are located that you wish to add to the playlist.  One 
might do this if they wish to listen to an entire catalogue of an artist 
like Led Zepplin or Eric Clapton, or an entire series of books, like the 
Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, arrow down to

Re: [JAWS-Users] WIN 10 upgrade advice from our computer people

[Flor Lynch]

No need to be defensive! There are still several months during which it's 
freely available. Tech consultants aren't saying that you shouldn't upgrade. 
They're saying that most people would do well to wait a few months before 
doing so. The more one learns, the better equippped one is tohandunforeseen 
situations that may arise (for one reason or another). To some people, their 
printers and scanners are important tools so they may need to tread 
cautiously before trying to upgrade with them and/or get replacements that 
will work as well.

Besides the fact that actual tech professionals from both Dell and HP
continue to recommend waiting to upgrade to Windows 10 there really is no
reason to upgrade if you don't have to. If Windows 7 or 8.1 works then
don't
break what is not already broken. I have very successfully helped install
Windows 10 as both upgrades and as clean installs on new machines and 
while

it is a good Operating Machine there is issues of accessibility that both
Microsoft and all the major screen readers are continuing to work out. 
That

is not a negative on any company it is a fact based on a very deep
understanding of computers as an instructor, programmer, and writer of
tutorials since  1984.
Never mind the fact that many people are upgrading only to find that they
have printers, scanners, external hard drives, and other peripherals that
will no longer be supported under Windows 10. Not everyone learns at the
same level. And not everyone can afford to replace outdated hardware
just to
scan their electric bill after they get a nasty surprise from an upgrade.
I have my machines working just great on Windows 10 and for the record I
used Windows 10 the Missing Manual via bookshare. I even got my windows 7
sound scheme working on a machine I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 
10

with a little bit of geeking and tweaking.
And I highly recommend that if you do not need to upgrade this minute, 
wait
a few months to upgrade to Windows 10. Unless you are buying a new 
machine.

Then by all means get a Windows 10 machine with at least 16 GB of ram and
run Jaws 17 and it will rock your world.

eight times until Jaws stops talking.

When he does, do a say line command with insert+up arrow, and Jaws should read 
out, "Not Selected My Documents".

This means you're on your desktop, and you can now go to the folder where the

Yes, it will work.

There are ways to modify Win 10 if that tracking really bothers you.

The drawback on buying a new PC with Win 7 is that you will not get any

no reason to doubt their objectivity.

The consultants had experience with 33 update attempts. 11 failed. Most
failures could be reversed and returned to their previous condition, but
some lost
their computers completely. This isn't a large sample, and computer
consultants might not have heard from clients who updated successfully,
so my guess
is that much less than 33% fail. Probably more like 10% or 15% and of
those probably 80% can return to their old operating system and continue
to run fine,
but it still seems crazy to do this with an important machine.
Furthermore, possible that if you aren't getting the latest versions of
all your software,
you could have some incompatibility there.

Tech support centers say that the problems caused by the Windows 10
update are double that of most other Windows operating system upgrades.
This is probably
not because the upgrade process is worse, but because people are being
forced to do it.

[JAWS-Users] laptop computer win 7

[Lenny McHugh]

I just called a very small family computer repair and sales shop. I was 
curious to see what they may have in stock to compare to the Hp at staples.
They have an older new laptop with windows 7 home. It is an Asus x550a I3, 
4gb ram and a T-byte system for $250.
Wonder if it will work ok with jaws.
He highly recommended that I stay away from win 10. He has about 15 
computers on the shelf to have win 10 removed and a few more coming into the 
shop.
He also stated that there was something on the news that windows 10 tracks 
you. That was on the morning news.

Re: [JAWS-Users] WIN 10 upgrade advice from our computer people

[Gerald Levy]

What works well for you may not necessarily work well for somebody else. 
When my sighted techie friend attempted to upgrade his Windows 7 desktop PC 
to Windows 10, the upgrade failed and he was forced to roll back to Win 7. 
So results may vary from system to system, and for most blind Windows 
users,especially those who do not have tech-savvy sighted help on hand to 
bail them out,  it is probably advisable to wait awhile before upgrading to 
Windows 10.

This is one of those fear letters and worry groups.

Re: [JAWS-Users] WIN 10 upgrade advice from our computer people

[Merv Keck]

Besides the fact that actual tech professionals from both Dell and HP
continue to recommend waiting to upgrade to Windows 10 there really is no
reason to upgrade if you don't have to. If Windows 7 or 8.1 works then don't
break what is not already broken. I have very successfully helped install
Windows 10 as both upgrades and as clean installs on new machines and while
it is a good Operating Machine there is issues of accessibility that both
Microsoft and all the major screen readers are continuing to work out. That
is not a negative on any company it is a fact based on a very deep
understanding of computers as an instructor, programmer, and writer of
tutorials since  1984.
Never mind the fact that many people are upgrading only to find that they
have printers, scanners, external hard drives, and other peripherals that
will no longer be supported under Windows 10. Not everyone learns at the
same level. And not everyone can afford to replace outdated hardware just to
scan their electric bill after they get a nasty surprise from an upgrade. 
I have my machines working just great on Windows 10 and for the record I
used Windows 10 the Missing Manual via bookshare. I even got my windows 7
sound scheme working on a machine I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10
with a little bit of geeking and tweaking. 
And I highly recommend that if you do not need to upgrade this minute, wait
a few months to upgrade to Windows 10. Unless you are buying a new machine.
Then by all means get a Windows 10 machine with at least 16 GB of ram and
run Jaws 17 and it will rock your world.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws crash/pause update

[Alan Robbins]

Hello list,

 

Well I just got off the phone with   a senior Jaws
escalation specialist. He called to get additional
information on the Jaws crashing and/or pausing issues some
of us are having with Jaws 16 and/or 17 and Windows 7 and/or
10. I know we have had several folks speaking of some or all
of the above. Unfortunately only myself and one other person
has reported this to Freedom Scientific as far as he knows
of.

The purpose of this post is to urge anyone having this issue
(all or part) to contact Freedom Scientific by phone or
email to report this issue. This will generate a case number
and the team can then try to get at some similarities to
begin to debug the issue. Again, and this has been said many
times, if you don't report issues to freedom scientific and
only do so on the list, remedies will not be made. So, you
can let me know on list or off if you report. 

 

Best,

Al

before taking the plunge.

My all-in one printer is 4 years old so got to find out if
there's a Windows
10 driver available.  I would hate to upgrade only to find
out I have to go out and purchase a new one.

Also using Open Book 9.0.  Is that compatible with windows

that is holding me back from upgrading to Windows 10.

Has anyone tried extraing the key that it generates and using this to perform a

Re: [JAWS-Users] I need directions to put Windows Live mail onWin10 and add Gmail to it.

[David Moore]

Hi Mike,
I have WLM on win10 laptop. Here is what you do. First, install Windows Live
Mail 2012 on your computer. next, Go to the Google home page and create a
Gmail account if you do not have one. Next, go back to WLM and press alt +
F as in frank. Arrow down to options sub menu and press right arrow. Now, 
down arrow to

email accounts and press enter. Next, press enter on new...
Next, type in your email address and pass word, and make sure that 
automatically

create the account is checked. Press enter on the Okay button. Now, close
the ribbon and inter your email and password in the WLM edit fields. You
will then get a message saying that it could not except your password. Here
is what I had to do from here. Go back on line to your Gmail account on the
Google page. Go to your in box. You will have a message that you will want
to press enter on. The message will say that WLM does not pass Google's
security standards, because Google does this for all clients, even Outlook.
In this message, there is a link to enter on that says to ignore this and
except your client. After you press enter, find where you need to press
space bar. It will say except my client anyway. After you press space bar on
that, close your on line Gmail account. Go back into WLM and re-enter your
email address and password again. This time, finally, it will except your 
information. You

see, Google is set to reject any client. So this is what you have to do, but
after you get through this, your Gmail account will import into WLM and all
will be well. Please ask me if you have anymore questions. Take care and 
have a great one.

Hi all,

I have had Win 10 on a desktop now for almost 2 months. I have tried every
way possible that I can think of to get Live mail on it with my  g mail
account attached to it. This computer was freshly cleaned out before 10 and
I am trying to get it all put together like my laptop so that I can start
learning 10 but can't get mail on it.

If someone could give directions before I throw this thing out the window it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kurt

Re: [JAWS-Users] WIN10 upgrade advice from our computer people

[DJ Reese]

I notice everyone's situation is different when it comes to upgrading to 
Windows 10 so its best you do your homework before taking the plunge.

My all-in one printer is 4 years old so got to find out if there's a Windows 
10 driver available.  I would hate to upgrade only to find out I have to go 
out and purchase a new one.

Also using Open Book 9.0.  Is that compatible with windows 10?  How about 
Microsoft Office 2007?  These are my issues that is holding me back from 
upgrading to Windows 10.

[JAWS-Users] music stuff and more.

[Bobb Wiley]

I have a couple of questions which may or may not be related, or even 
relevant. I am running windows 7 and jaws 16.

I am currently using winamp as my music program. But, since it’s no longer 
supported I’m thinking of using something else. I have VLC on my computer, 
and it works fairly well, but I miss the enhancements that jaws scripts give 
to winamp. I also have a copy of windows media player on my hard drive, but 
I hate it with a passion, but I might be talked into updating it and trying 
it again. So any recommendations for a replacement for winamp?

Second question, what are rapsody and spotify? Does one work better than the 
other with jaws?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Bob

[JAWS-Users] Chrome & Jaws 17

[Mike B]

Howdy All,

When using Chrome & Jaws 17 if you press the, Alt key, this will open a menu 
list of options / settings, for lack of a better term.  When you arrow down 
this list pressing enter or right arrowing into another list of options will 
usually work but, with Jaws 17 pressing enter on the, Settings option, 
doesn't work like it does with Jaws 16  If you want to access the, Settings 
option, arrow up / down to it, & turn the virtual cursor off with the, 
Insert / Jaws Key + Z, keystroke, & press enter  You will now be able to tab 
through the settings options.  If you are on the, Settings option, you can 
also press enter on it, then immediately turn the virtual cursor off , which 
will also allow you to tab through the settings options.
HTH
Take care.
Mike

Hi Wayne,

Reboot the computer & see if this problem persists.  Many times a reboot 
will fix such problems.
Take care.

Hello-

This is a new one for me.  When I use the insert/Jaws key it no longer does
the Jaws commands associated with it.  For example, if I do Insert plus T to
learn the window I am in  it only says T.  I don't know if I accidently put
in a command to change things.  This just started.  Using JAWS 14 with
Windows 7.



Happy Thanksgiveing,



Waybne
