Re: [JAWS-Users] Recent Jaws issue with typing and focus jumping around
I don’t think it’s exclusive to outlook 2010 or jaws 18. I have jaws 17 and using outlook 2016, and I have that focus issue as well. I’m typing in an email, whatever I wrote at the end, or the middle, for example, I find it at the top of the email some times, or somewhere else other than where it should be. It began just recently, so I just compose my emails from word and send it that way, since that doesn’t occur in word..

[JAWS-Users] Recent Jaws issue with typing and focus jumping around
Hello list, So I dont know what I may have done, but for the last few days, I have been experiencing an incredibly annoying issue with Jaws and composing Outlook messages. When I begin to type, the first few letters are spoken by jaws even though Ive always had this setting to echo speech off. The more frustrating thing is that focus will jump around and what I type is spread out all over the document. This is especially annoying when Im working off a template text and have to go hunt for the stray letters. The thing is, if I type the first couple of letters and then erase them, everything works fine. I have to believe that in all my typing, I must have accidentally enabled some sort of odd setting since this has only been a recent issue and I dont experience it in a standard Word document. Only in Outlook messages. My version of Outlook is 2010 and my messages are set to HTML. I am using the most recent version of Jaws 18. Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing this issue or what setting I might try to change to fix it? That or is there some sort of set to default setting in Outlook for composing messages? Thanks, For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[JAWS-Users] abby fine reader
Hi, I'm using latest jaws 17 on a windows 10 pro and abby fine reader version 12. I've never been able to scan and read documents. I need help. I've put the paper in the scanner, clicked scan to word, selected plain text, I think it's called dtI? I chose 300, scanned it and I just get jibrish. I mean, it'll read text here and there but I find myself needing to decipher what has been scanned. How can I get a crisp and clear document to read? Thanks.

Born and raised Catholic en Havana but having lived in the US during the last 56 years, I celebrate "Nochebuena" or Christmas Eve with a large, traditional Cuban supper and also celebrate the traditional American Christmas dinner tomorrow. Now 74 and with kidney trouble, it isn't as easy as it used to be, nevertheless, it is the best time of the year. It is the time when we reflect on our many blessings and wish all who surround us much happiness and peace; those are my desires for every member of this list and their respective families: Merry Christmas!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pirate website-I lost control
It's not a built in function of Windows or Internet Explorer, it'sw provided by another program, Avast anti virus has one, but I personally use Sandboxie, except for one control, I've found it to be quite accessible, and have since been in contact with the developer who is interested in making sure it is fully accessible Unfortunately it's also not free, I know I paid around $30 for a lifetime license about 13 years ago. I don't know if the price has changed or if lifetime licenses are still offered. By lifetime I mean that my license is good for all future versions of the program. http://www.sandboxie.com Cheers!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pirate website-I lost control
Hi, Perhaps you could have closed the browser by bringing up the windows task manager with control shift escape keys... From there find the processes tab by pressing control tab. When you find the processes tab once and you will hear all the programs that are running. To close the one you want, just press alt E. I use a little program call peview for that... hth -Original Message- From: wayne smith Sent: Friday, December 23, 2016 7:21 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Pirate website-I lost control Hello to all, Yesterday I went to the website of my former employer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] text as images
Try the JAWS' convenient OCR feature. While the cursor is on the graphic, press Insert + Space baar, the press O, then press C for the current control, if it works it will read the text in the image, if it doesn't, you have to use S in the last step to OCR the screen instead or the control. Good luck!
