[JAWS-Users] jaws and conference calls

[Eyþór Kamban Þrastarson]

Hi all 

I am trying to set myself up to have no problems with conference calls and
am wondering if any of you have figured anything out that you would like to
share. 

I have had skype headsets in the past but they tned to pick up my
synthesizer blabbering away as I talk. Doe  anyone know about a headset that
doesn’t do that or a good free standing mike that’s not to expensive? B

Thanks for this, however I am not looking to create tables but text columns on 
the Page so it will look sort of like the newspaper. I know how to create the 
columns but not how to navigate between them with jobs.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Statistical Package for Social Science (spss)

[Eyþór Kamban Þrastarson]

I have tried spss and the interface is not accessible. You can read output 
tables from spss if they are exported to excel. In my studies I used R which is 
a free statistical environment that can do all the samet hings as spss but it 
is harder to learn. R is accessible with jaws using the Jaws cursor and there 
is even a package for R that allows you to write output into text files easily 
readable by screen reader users. If you have any questions don't hesitate to 
contact me via eythor...@gmail.com

[JAWS-Users] Microsoft office hot keys

[Eyþór Kamban Þrastarson]

Hi 

I seem to remember Jaws reading the sequencial hot keys that office started
to use I believe in 2007 version. You would find file save as and jaws would
say alt followed by F A. It doesn‘t do that any more so I wanted to know if
this is something with office 2013 or if there‘s a setting I can change that
will make Jaws tell me these key tips.

[JAWS-Users] Ms word question

Hi 

I’m wondering if there’s any way of having Jaws tell you how much of a page
of a word document has text and how much is empty. I’ve used empty lines
until I get to a new page to get some idea of this but would like to know if
there’s a way to know how many lines of text fit on one page if you’re using
a particular formatting.

Re: [JAWS-Users] wildcards in dictionary manager

[Eyþór Kamban Þrastarson]

Thanks for being of help 
My thoughts actually were to try to create a rule in dictionary manager that
manages to detect references in research articles and play a sound instead
of reading them because in some research articles references make up for a
lot of the letters and it would spare a lot of time to be able to skip over
them. 
This is possible by using find and replace but I thought it would be more
convinient to use the Jaws dictionary manager because that way I won't have
to save a copy of the article and risk accidentally overriding the original.
Plus it would work on pdfs to.

Does the following Help topic, taken from the JAWS Dictionary help,
Introduction,  assist in the process?

Adding Speech for Special Symbols
While JAWS correctly represents the most frequently used symbols with
speech, you may need to add new ones. If you are reading a document and find
that JAWS misrepresents or does not announce a symbol, do the
following:

  1.. Open Settings Center (INSERT+F2) and expand the Images and Symbols
group.
  2.. Select the Speak Character Value in Hex check box.
  3.. Choose OK to save changes and close Settings Center.
  4.. Return to your document. Move the cursor to a lowercase letter a 
(type one if none are present) and press NUM PAD 5 three times quickly. 
JAWS should say, Character U+61HEX. If you hear anything else, do not
proceed with these steps.
  5.. Move the cursor to the character whose speech representation you want
to change and press NUM PAD 5 three times quickly to obtain the hexadecimal
unicode value of the character. Be sure to make a note of this value, as you
will need it in the next steps.
  6.. Using a text editor like Notepad, open the .sbl file for the active
synthesizer. This file is located in your user settings folder (C:\Documents
and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X
is the JAWS version number)\Settings\Enu). If your user settings folder does
not contain Eloq.sbl, then look for it in the shared settings folder.
Note: Character definitions are specific to your synthesizer and selected
language. For example, if you are using Eloquence and American English, you
should open the file named Eloq.sbl and modify the section named [American
English].

  8.. At the bottom of the appropriate section for your language, add a new
entry for the specific symbol you want JAWS to speak. The entry should be in
the following format:

  U+=SpokenRepresentation

  (Where  is the unicode hexadecimal value of the symbol, and
SpokenRepresentation is the desired pronunciation).
  9.. Save your changes to the .sbl file, and then quit and restart JAWS.
Your speech changes should now take effect.

I think there are no possibilities to use wildcards in another way.
JAWS is the simplest screen reader speaking about dictionary.
Even Talks is better, at least we can replace a letter with another one,
this being a very good option for those who use diacritics unspeakable 
by a
specific voice.
We wrote many messages to Freedom asking to improve the dictionary, we 
don't
need it so advanced like that found in NVDA, but at least to replace a
string with another one.

Let's wait for version 16...
