[JAWS-Users] Instacart
I hope this is an appropriate topic. I am trying to sign up for Instacart for my food shopping needs. The website is slow and does not work all that well with JAWS. I thought the problem was my system until I tried it at work with the same result. Any thoughts? At home, I am on JAWS 17 and Windows 10. At work, I am not sure as I am working at someone else's desk while I am supporting another office.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I wont to change the star Punctuation to say something else
Robin, no question, JAWS has made what used to be a simple task difficult, and I have no idea why. It would help if you explained exactly what you want to do. Meanwhile, first, you can select "punctuation" in the JAWS quick settings dialog. I realize this isn't exactly customizing punctuation, but maybe changing this setting when you go to that application will give you some flexibility. Second, David Ferrin, one of this list's moderators, posted instructions a while ago that just might help, even though at first they might seem only indirectly related to your query. My guess is to skip the "navigate to default" step: Assigning A Keystroke To Adjust Punctuation On The Fly. 1. Press, Insert + F2, to open the Jaws Manager. 2. Go to Keyboard Manager and press enter. 3. Navigate to Default, & then tab 1 time to get into the list of options. 4. In the Default keyboard manager list navigate to Set Punctuation Level If it says none. That means there has not been a keystroke assigned. 5. Press the Alt key to open the menus, & right arrow to Action. Then down arrow to Add Keystroke, & press enter. Or press control + A which is the shortcut for assigning a keystroke. 6. Insert a keystroke combination like control + dash for example. If the combination is already being used for another command jaws will tell you. Doing this in the Default Keyboard Manager, allows this keystroke to be used in all applications. 7. Tab to the Okay button, press the spacebar, then a dialogue will open asking if you are sure you want to modify the default JKM. Press the spacebar on the Yes option. Now, every time you press the control + dash keystroke it changes the punctuation level. So press the control + dash keystroke until you hear the punctuation level you want. If you ever want to change or remove the keystroke, simply repeat the above steps. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Robin Sent: Friday, March 02, 2018 5:32 PM To: jaws list Subject: [JAWS-Users] I wont to chane the star Punctuation to say something else Can anyone help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble with Keyboard Echo
Hi Matthew, If you wanted to change this only temporarily, Press the, Insert / Jaws key + 2, on the number row above the main keyboard until you hear, Words. For permanent change: 1. Press Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Settings Center, & press, Control, shift, + D, to open default all applications. 2. Arrow down to, User closed, right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Typing Echo, & press the spacebar to toggle through your options, stopping on the option you want. 4.

Re: [JAWS-Users] keyboard shortcuts on webpages not working
Hi Roger. Yes, this was my conclusion as well. I personally feel this particular implementation of keyboard shortcuts is great, and spoke very enthusiastically about them to the developers.

They are great, but they may not work for everyone. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Roger Newell Sent: March 2, 2018 4:19 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] keyboard shortcuts on webpages not working Some web accessibility professionals discourage using keyboard shortcuts because browsers, screen readers and operating systems interpret them in different ways.

I wonder if is related to how you and her have forms mode set? - Original Message - From: "JM Casey" To: Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2018 5:08 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] keyboard shortcuts on webpages not working Hi everyone. Forgive the half-formed inquiry, but I'm about to have a meeting about this and I don't yet have a lot of info. There's a website being designed where the user can rate a series of statements on a numerical scale. The creators of the site designed it so that you can do this directly from the keyboard by using ctrl-key combinations from 1 to 5. So, for example, the user might see a statement, and press ctrl-3 to give that statement a rating of 3. Once the key bombination is pressed, the next statement loads. This is something I have tested and works fine in both Firefox and Chrome using JAWS 18. However, one of the testers is having problems. The keyboard combos do not work at all. She is a JAWS user. I do not yet know what browser she is using, but I'll shortly find out. I looked a little at a page describing how one can use JAVA to do this when developing a site, but I myself am not a developer, and there's a lot I could be missing. So, in brief, does anyone know if there are any caveats, prerequisites and such, for these sorts of shortcuts on websites to work? Is there some setting in either a browser, or even in JAWS, related to this functionality that she might have to change? I know it's not presently a lot of info to go on, but any help would be appreciated nonetheless. Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC Media Player 3.0
Yes, but we are talking about VLC player random function, not winamp. I prefer randomising the playlist in winamp with alt-shift-r rather than using shuffle mode. The reason is that when using shuffle it's impossible to tell what song has just played after it's moved on to the next one. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: March 2, 2018 11:32 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC Media Player 3.0 In WinAmp, pressing the letter S, should shuffle the currently loaded playlist.

Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC Media Player 3.0
Hey jerry. Isn't this something of an ongoing issue for you? Did you ever get your external CD rom to be recognised for the other program (was there more than one?) you were using? You can find all disk options under "open disk" in the media menu. Looking at it now, there is a series of radio buttons from which you can choose the type of disk. This changes the playback options in the dialog box. There's also a combo box that lets you choose a drive. I only have one CD drive, but it should register any such drives plugged into your computer, external or not. The hotkey for the "open disk" dialog is ctrl-d. It's also accessible from the media menu from the menu bar. If you have already seen that dialog and looked at that combo box, and if it's only showing your internal drive -- then I guess your problem with the external and Windows is ongoing. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: March 2, 2018 10:00 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] VLC Media Player 3.0 Regarding VLC, can you tell me the process for accessing an external cd rom drive?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox ESR Version
I found Sound Alerts and muted them. It worked. -Original Message- From: Cristóbal Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2018 11:07 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox ESR Version This sounds like the Webvisum add-on. I recalled going in and disabling some settings as I only used it for the capcia stuff and didn't need the other accessibility features. It may also depend on any other extensions you also have running. NoScript can be pretty clicky too for example. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Tom Fairhurst Sent: Thursday, March 1, 2018 8:42 PM To: List Jaws Subject: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox ESR Version When Fire Fox starts, it keeps making an annoying clicking sound. I know this mightt be due to Webvisum loading, but it can continue for a minute or longer when clicking on a web site. Is there any way to turn off sounds in Fire Fox or must we just live with them. This has been true for a long time with earlier versions of JAWS and Window-Eyes. I’m finally getting tired enough of it to ask about it. I didn’t see any options in the Fire Fox menus. Does JAWS have any settings for this? I am using JAWS 2018 with Windows 7 64-Bit Pro. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] adobe digital editions
Hi Roger/al, I was late in responding bbecausse, spending most of the day in my office where outgoing mail comes from a different address, I was unable to respond until our moderator kindly, added tis second address. Unfortunattely, this program is used by big publishers and I can not know the software they are using. My main problem is with ADE userid aand password but there are some accessibility issues, and I was just wondering if anyone among us had some experience with this software as treated with jaws.

Do you know what program the documents were created in? It is quite likely that the tool has features to make accessible documents; it's just that they are probably not being used.

I am still on version 11 and I use the software a lot. I can confirm that it is a most useful tool.

Hey. I'm looking into this software, and it seems useful and has a lot of recommendations for its excellent OCR. It's also not too expensive in comparison to some others I have seen.
