[JAWS-Users] Jaws Hot Key
Hello. I have a question about Jaws and setting up a hot key. Is there a way I can set up a Jaws hot key and not lose it every time Jaws updates to a new version? NVDA for example never loses its hotkey. Jaws should be the same. Thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Hi all. I am currently using the latest build of Jaws 17 and Microsoft Office 2007 on a windows 10 computer. My issue is with the calendar in Outlook.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Not Reading Phone Numbers Properly
I am using the latest build of Jaws 15 and have tried both eloquence and 1 of the new vocalizer voices.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws And Blind Tunes
Hi all. I installed the Blind Tunes scripts on my computer. This was when I was using Jaws 14. I upgraded to Jaws 15, thinking that the scripts would automatically work with Jaws 15. But they don't. I thought that merging my settings may have caused the problem. So this afternoon, I uninstalled and reinstalled Jaws 15. But everything is the same. What do I have to do to get the Blind Tunes scripts working with Jaws 15? Thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
