[JAWS-Users] website to the taskbar windows 10
I just got a new laptop. I am pimping my ride as they say and must start from scratch to customize this beast. Lol, I forgot how to pin a website to my taskbar. Actually, I know how to do it but there is that one keystroke that I forgot which is to bring up a list of your apps on windows ten. From there I can do it but anyone know the keystroke?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?
Since I'm looking at the list right now, I'll give my answers to your Dectalk Express questions. I'm sure Mike will have his. No, Dectalk Express does not allow early BIOs access. For the most part, think of it as another voice. However, it allows a computer to run on a single speech card without JAWS interference. Otherwise, speaking for myself, Dectalk Express provides the best combination of intelligible speech and fast response. Reasonable minds differ. However, for most people, the question is academic because the Dectalk Express hasn't been manufactured in nearly two decades. I cling to mine for dear life! I agree with Mike that the current so-called Dectalk products bear no resemblance to the originals. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Alan Robbins Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2016 3:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching to a newly installed voice
I hope this isn't a superfluous post, but when I look over this thread, it's not clear to me that all three steps were taken once the voice was installed. First, open the JAWS window with JAWS key+j, then arrow up (or l) to "Language," press enter, then arrow down to "voice profile," Enter. Then c for "Create new..." Enter, then tab. Second, return to the JAWS window, go to options, voices, voice profile, select the newly installed voice, and then tab through the settings in case any (such as pitch adjustment) need to be change. Finally, as mentioned, there's the JAWS key+control+s list for selecting the profile currently desired. With any luck, one of these steps was overlooked and the new voice will be recognized. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike O'Brien Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2016 2:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching to a newly installed voice Hi Were the voices you installed Vocalizer Expressive or Vocalizer Direct?

[JAWS-Users] Audible "numeric string" ...
HI ALL: To start, I use JAWS 17 on a Windows 8.1, 64-bit PC, and the below problem happens in Word 2013 and OUTLOOK 2013. JAWS has been set to handle "numbers", as aposed to the synthacizer, and it is set to say longer numbers in "pairs" - which may be relevant. This has been happening for a long time; so, I am not sure if it was doing this with JAWS 16, which was setup in the same way regarding the handling of numbers. When reading a long number (even if only 2-digits), individual digit by individual digit, I often hear a "numeric string" after every digit I hear. Sometimes, I hear this same numeric string after reading a "whole number" , seemingly attached to that "whole number". This has become much more bothersome lately, because I am working on things like "budgets" and "fund-raising" planning sheets - things with which I would not have been concerned for a long time. The audible, numeric string "appears to be" 112075, which reads as 11, 20, 75 - alided closely together. I can not seem to separate the individual digits, even using the "spell mode", because this string reads much more quickly than if I simply had JAWS read the text "11 20 75", and the reading speed does not seem to be at issue. For whatever reason that this may be happening, can anyone tell me how to stop this? I am worried that I may be sending messages/documents to people that will read the same way as they do for me, and this could be confusing. ... not to mention, make me sound stupid - at least for a minute or 2! :) :) BTW: I should point out, sadly, that this problem did not show up in re-reading this message; so, this would appear to be an inconsistent problem. Still, any suggestions would be appreciated, even if the only person's confusion, that gets cleared up, is mine. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?
Hi The Dectalk Express is only a speech synthesizer that Can be used by JAWS or other programs that support it, such as OpenBook 7. It does not replace JAWS or add any functionality to it. The advantage To me is the original Dectalk voices. To me, the original Dectalk voices sound much better than Eloquence or any of the other synthesizers provided by Freedom Scientific. I tried Eloquence when it first came out with JAWS for Windows version 3 for 2 or three weeks. I found that when reading long passages with Eloquence, I started to doze after the 2nd or 3rd paragraph. So I switched back to the Dectalk Express synthesizer I received when I first got JAWS, Until I could replace it with the Dectalk Access32 software synthesizer. But I had to switch back to the Dectalk express when I moved to Windows 7. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Alan Robbins Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2016 3:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?
Hi If they're using one of the newer Versions of Dectalk speech such as Dectalk USB or Dectalk Sappi 5, those will work on Windows 7 for JAWS and NVDA. But in my opinion, those versions are not Dectalk speech. The voices have very little resemblance to the Dectalk Access32 synthesizer. And as I stated in my earlier email, I believe that FS cut off using Dectalk Access from any other source than Freedom Scientific back in JAWS 11 or 12. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimberly Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2016 7:47 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?

Then you can back tab to the adjust combo box and arrow down to the next voice. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of The Iowa Gal Sent: Monday, February 8, 2016 9:12 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Switching to a newly installed voice Hi group, I'm using Jaws 16 on my new laptop. When I installed Jaws from a download the only voices included were Eloquence and Sappy 5. I downloaded a vocalizer voice from the FS site and I guess I didn't install it correctly because I can't find it in the voice profile dialogue. After I downloaded the vocalizer voice, I just hit enter on the file and I thought that would install it. Would someone please help me figure out where I went wrong so I can use the new voice? Also, where do I find pitch adjustment?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?
Hi The Dectalk Access32 synthesizer from Freedom Scientific is a software synthesizer. You install it like any other program. It does not use any kind of cable to connect to the computer. Therefore a serial to USB converter cable won't work. However, a serial to USB converter works fine with the Dectalk Express, which is an external hardware synthesizer. The Dectalk express synthesizer with a serial to USB converter cable is what I'm using on Windows 7 and 8.

Hi No, you cannot use Dectalk Access32 on a Windows 7 computer. It only works on Windows XP. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Vicky Vaughan Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2016 11:11 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32? Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. When you say, if I pay for an upgrade on my JAWS, I could use Dec Talk Access 32, are you saying that with that I could use it on my Windows 7 computer? Thanks again! Sincerely, Vicky -Original Message- From: Mike O'Brien Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2016 10:25 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32? Hi If you're referring to Dectalk Access32, the version from Freedom Scientific will run on any Version of JAWS, but only if it is run on Windows XP or lower. Unfortunately, Dectalk Access32 cannot be successfully used on Windows Vista, 7 or 8 and I assume Windows 10. So Dectalk Access32 can be used on JAWS 15 and earlier on Windows XP. But it cannot be used with JAWS 16 or later since they can't be installed on Windows XP. To use Dectalk Access32 from Freedom Scientific you had to pay for an upgrade to your JAWS license. There also used to be a version of Dectalk Access32 from GW Micro, but I believe JAWS stopped supporting that version in JAWS 11 or 12. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Vicky Vaughan Sent: Friday, February 12, 2016 7:11 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Access 32? Hi List, Does anyone here, remember using Access32, the first software synthesizer for JAWS? After a certain point, I thought we could no longer use it. However, I know I have heard of people using it far after I thought we no longer could do so. Therefore, my question is, Is there anyway we can do so with JAWS 16 or 17? If yes and if you know how to set this up, would you email me at: vrvaug...@mailzone.com I would greatly appreciate it! Many and sincere thanks!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?
I know several people who are using access 32 withNVDA on a Windows 7 machine. Do you mean to say it won't work with jaws on Windows 7 computers?
