Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS And Google Chrome
Hi Steve, Unlike Firefox, Chrome does not have a built-in option to prevent pages from being refreshed. However, you can prevent JAWS from refreshing the virtual buffer by changing Automatically Page Refresh option which is present when you press JAWS+V from witting Chrome. You can change it permanently or temporarily, as well as for all websites or only the one in which you are.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws OCR?
Hi Adrian and all, As I understood, Arvind is asking if it's possible to launch an OCR command on an image of a web page with no need to save the image or other advanced tricks first. If that was the question, although theoretically should be possible to locate the Virtual Cursor over the graphic and press JAWS+SPACE, O, C to recognize the current control (graphics are a control type as well for JAWS various managements like verbosity level settings and speech and sound schemes), I never could get this to work for graphics in web browsers. Therefore, I manage to open the graphic's context menu to choose the item for displaying the image alone. When I can display the image, I press CTRL+S to save the actual image file to a folder in the computer, and then I can get JAWS (or a specialized OCR software like ABBYY FineReader in case of complex documents, but these are not frequent in web graphics). Since I prefer making JAWS to recognize the file itself instead of the screen contents because it is more accurate, when there was no direct recognition of image files like JPEG ones in JAWS, that is before version 2018, I used to choose the option for printing the image and selecting in Windows 10 the virtual printer called Microsoft Print to PDF which does exactly that, so then I could open the resulting PDF in Adobe Reader and make JAWS to recognize the file itself by pressing JAWS+SPACE, O, D. Hope it helps! -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2018 5:00 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws OCR? Hi.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs
Now that I have Jaws 2018 with Windows 7 on a 64 bit desktop computer, Jaws
is doing the same thing rather often. Since I don't know anything and my
memory isn't great, I ended up resorting to the same process without trying
anything else. Jaws partially disappears, says alt tab but won't say where
I've landed, so I quit jaws with insert F4, and then turn it on again.

John,
Interesting...One thing I can do (and have just done) is to increase the
priority of the JFW process. I'm going to try running my system this way for
a while to see if anything improves.
My system is a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, dual core processor.
I'm running the latest build of JAWS 2018.
What I did was to launch the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape) and
Ctrl+Tab to the processes list. I arrowed down to jfw.exe and opened the
context menu. From there I selected the "set priority" menu and right-arrow
to open. JFW was set to run as normal, and I've changed it to high, waited a
bit, and then selected the set priority button after the cautionary warning.
Close Windows Task Manager with Escape.
Now let's see if JAWS behaves better with this setting. If it does, I'd sure
like to know how to have it permanently set to high priority, as I suspect
it will default to normal after a restart.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs
Hello Mike,
John Justice, here.
I work for the state and use configurations which are similar to the ones
you describe.
In the interest of correcting the problem, I brought it to the attention of
our upper level Access group. Their explanation doesn't solve any issues
but it might give you food for thought.
1. THE ISSUE AT HAND: apparently, what we are experiencing is the
assignment of RAM. Current versions of Jaws tend to utilize a considerable
amount of RAM, especially when changing from one software environment to
another. The result is that the system has to {wait} for enough RAM to
perform the function.
2. PROGRAM PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT: It is possible to assign certain programs
on a PC so that they have a priority when RAM is distributed. This is way
beyond my pay grade Mike but apparently, within reason, certain programs can
be allowed to operate at the expense of others, at least temporarily. There
are exceptions to this rule and certain pieces of software are assigned a
permanent top priority. I imagine that the Windows operating system might
have that kind of assignment.
3. According to our A. T. department, reassignment involves the division of
RAM into smaller compartments which then handle this function. The entire
process scares the heck out of me. It isn't something I'd want to attempt.
There might be someone on our list with more technological knowledge than I
have.
4. A WORKING SOLUTION: I am now operating two computers simultaneously.
One is dedicated to some of the functions I need while the second unit
handles primary functions. For example, I use the secondary unit to load
and display Excel spreadsheets. But even with that arrangement, certain
pieces of software will temporarily shut down Jaws until they are fully
loaded. The down time has been measured and it is usually approximately32
seconds.
5. CREATING HOTKEYS FOR RELOADING JAWS: Finally, we have established
hotkeys which can be used to encourage Jaws to restart. Occasionally,
though rarely, Jaws wil not restart after one of these incidents. We use
three key combinations which are dedicated to reactivating Jaws.
The entire thing is frustrating to say the least, Mike. But it's something
we just put up with since jaws performs so well in most other respects.

I am a Windows 7 user, so I'm not sure how well this applies to Windows 10. Furthermore, I don't use C Clener. However, I do use a program called Registry First-Aid. This program gets rid of unused registry entries. I believe C Cleaner may do this, too. If it does, its funcions differ from Disk Cleanup. Disk Cleanup is used to obtain more disk space on your hard drive or any drive you choose. It does this by removing various temporary files which can be customized by the user. One can optionally remove System Restore points and programs from Programs and Features or whatever the aplicable option is for Windows 10. Disk Cleanup is not a substitute for fixing registry errors, cleaning viruses, or removing spyware.

Hi Tom, Yes, using access keys underline in the ribbon is also convenient. I can't however indicate commands of that type here, because unlike the ones in ribbons of Windows apps such as WordPad and File Explorer, access keys are different in non-English Office versions, because Office 2007 and higher allow some Office 2003 access keys (which were language-specific as in any menu bar) for backwards compatibility. By the way, while the access key for attaching a recent file in Spanish Outlook 2016 is ALT+B, A, V, the key sequence will probably be different in the English version. For the case of the High Importance button, even when I don't remember the access key, I'm sure ALT+H is ALT+O in Spanish, the one for the Home tab for compatibility with the Tools menu previously opened with ALT+H (Tools in Spanish is Herramientas). 2018-05-02 10:57 GMT-03:00 Tom Behler : > Fernando: > > Others have suggested the alt H followed by H command, and this seems to > work well for me when I want to designate a message as "high importance". > > However, your strategy is also a good one, and I'll save it for future > reference if the key strokes mentioned above do not work. > > Thank you very much! > > Tom Behler > > > -Original Message- > From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf > Of Fernando Gregoire > Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2018 10:10 PM > To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] High Importance E-mail > > Hi Tom, > > The easiest way to add a keystroke for this is to add the item to the > Quick Access Toolbar by opening a new message, finding in the Message tab > the High Importance button, pressing APPLICATIONS or SHIFT+F10 and choosing > Add to Quick Access Toolbar item.

Dave, don't think increasing RAM will do much. I am running Win 7 and have
24G RAM installed and I still have the problem. Tom

You caught me. I forgot to give feedback. Overall, I saw no discernable
improvement. The only solution that works for me is to dump JAWS and restart
(Insert+Windows+F4) whenever it starts to get cranky, then it starts working
better again.
I'm also considering purchasing RAM to double my capacity from 4G to 8G,
thinking that JAWS is becoming a memory hog, or not playing nice when
sharing space.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs
John,
Interesting...One thing I can do (and have just done) is to increase the
priority of the JFW process. I'm going to try running my system this way for
a while to see if anything improves.
My system is a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, dual core processor.
I'm running the latest build of JAWS 2018.
What I did was to launch the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape) and
Ctrl+Tab to the processes list. I arrowed down to jfw.exe and opened the
context menu. From there I selected the "set priority" menu and right-arrow
to open. JFW was set to run as normal, and I've changed it to high, waited a
bit, and then selected the set priority button after the cautionary warning.
Close Windows Task Manager with Escape.
Now let's see if JAWS behaves better with this setting. If it does, I'd sure
like to know how to have it permanently set to high priority, as I suspect
it will default to normal after a restart.

Hello Mike,
John Justice, here.
I work for the state and use configurations which are similar to the ones
you describe.
In the interest of correcting the problem, I brought it to the attention of
our upper level Access group. Their explanation doesn't solve any issues
but it might give you food for thought.
1. THE ISSUE AT HAND: apparently, what we are experiencing is the
assignment of RAM. Current versions of Jaws tend to utilize a considerable
amount of RAM, especially when changing from one software environment to
another. The result is that the system has to {wait} for enough RAM to
perform the function.
2. PROGRAM PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT: It is possible to assign certain programs
on a PC so that they have a priority when RAM is distributed. This is way
beyond my pay grade Mike but apparently, within reason, certain programs can
be allowed to operate at the expense of others, at least temporarily. There
are exceptions to this rule and certain pieces of software are assigned a
permanent top priority. I imagine that the Windows operating system might
have that kind of assignment.
3. According to our A. T. department, reassignment involves the division of
RAM into smaller compartments which then handle this function. The entire
process scares the heck out of me. It isn't something I'd want to attempt.
There might be someone on our list with more technological knowledge than I
have.
4. A WORKING SOLUTION: I am now operating two computers simultaneously.
One is dedicated to some of the functions I need while the second unit
handles primary functions. For example, I use the secondary unit to load
and display Excel spreadsheets. But even with that arrangement, certain
pieces of software will temporarily shut down Jaws until they are fully
loaded. The down time has been measured and it is usually approximately32
seconds.
5. CREATING HOTKEYS FOR RELOADING JAWS: Finally, we have established
hotkeys which can be used to encourage Jaws to restart. Occasionally,
though rarely, Jaws wil not restart after one of these incidents. We use
three key combinations which are dedicated to reactivating Jaws.
The entire thing is frustrating to say the least, Mike. But it's something
we just put up with since jaws performs so well in most other respects.

on an issue where JAWS freezes unexpectedly when switching from one window

it doesn't happen every time he switches windows. It does happen two to
three times a day on average, and is hindering his efforts to perform his

JAWS freezes, he has to wait some 30 seconds before speech comes back.
I wanted to reach out to the list to see if any of you had any ideas as to
how I could minimize this behavior. I would appreciate any feedback.

Hi Again Dave, Okay I just gave the latest version another run, and the only way I was able to use this new version as far as scanning in Windows and Application modes, but not able to find the results was use the Touch Cursor plus other cursor calisthenics. Doing the first run using the clean button / checkbox is no problem, but now the cursor calisthenics begin. I think this new version is now doable, but it will just require more effort. I was able to clean the Registry and view the results of this scan with no problem, so I'm taking back my statement that it's not accessible, but I will say that it's not nearly as accessible using the cleaning options as versions 5.40 and earlier.
