[JAWS-Users] programming on line for totally blind novices like me.
Hello Friends, My only experience with writing programs goes back about 30 years. I purchased and used the Eureka A4 and learned how to program using basic. Now that I am retired and have time on my hands; I would like to try and write programs again. I keep getting led around the mulberry bush when trying to find out how and where to learn where we totals can go for learning just for fun and on what platform the practice can be exercised. I use Jaws 15 and have Windows 7. I can and would graduate to whatever I needed to if it would help.

[JAWS-Users] Difficulty with e mailing JAWS
Hi Jorge and Leonard, I think what he is getting at is, he is not seeing his posts to the list when he reads the list mail, and if the message appears in the sent items folder, it indeed has been sent, however it does not mean it reached it's destination. I am having a similar situation with my postings , where the message is actually making it to the list, but when I receive mail from the list, my message does not appear in my e-mail client. This is usually caused by an incorrect setting in the e-mail client. Haven't gotten around to correcting mine yet, since it is with A T&T, and right now I have better things to do with my time then go traipsing around their ridiculous website. I have notes on this, but I don't have those files with me where I am, and won't have access to them until later in the month, so if someone else has that info please post it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws stops whenever I plug in my uSB stereo and turntable
Hi Randy, That may be true of the stereo, but typically, turntables are output devices so the sound of Jaws would not come thru the turntable. To set the preferred soundcard for Jaws: 1. While in the Jaws program window, open the utilities menu, and then open the soundcard sub-menu. 2. it should display something like this: Windows default sound card checked Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) In the above example, Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) , is the on-board soundcard in this system. Notice that the Windows default sound card is checked, and I have it this way so that when I plug another audio device in, such as a USB headset, Jaws will jump right to it. In your particular case, having Jaws use something different than mine would probably be your best bet.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws stops whenever I plug in my uSB stereo and turntable
Hi Randy, I think the incorrect terms are being used here, causing the confusion. I believe what Clifford is meaning to say is, "soundcard", or sound device. Windows takes the last sound device plugged in to the system the default sound device, and if Jaws is set to use the default device, then you are not hearing it because your USB device is not equipped with speakers. You will need to determine the name of your soundcard, and then set Jaws to always use it.

[JAWS-Users] List guidelines Reminder
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list! This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader Program. So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently. Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is perfectly fine. The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly. Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval. Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done for your protection. The message list might state that there is an attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them. When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here. Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not receive an answer for a number of reasons. Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a number of such messages then the Mailman program will remove your email address automatically. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the to: field often times such rules get fouled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list.

[JAWS-Users] Unable to send e mail to JAWS
I have 15.0 and Win7. I receive e mails from the list and I am able to reply to them. But, when I try to send a new message, it does not go through. I have tried using the address of JAWS Users from my contacts list and will see the message in my "sent" folder, but never see my message in my "in box". Earlier today, I sent a e mail from this link from the JAWS web site and did not see the message in my "sent" folder or in my "in box". What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

[JAWS-Users] Trouble sending message to JAWS
I have Win 7 and 15.0. I've sent messages to the JAWS list but do not receive the message in my In Box, even though the message is in the Sent folder. I'm wondering if I have the wrong address? I used the link on the help page to send this message. When I reply to an existing message, the message goes through. I'm using WLM and see the JAWS in the address /contact section. Is there a way to know if I have something wrong with the address in WLM? Thanks. Rich For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Question on Media Center.
Hi all, I have Win 7 and 15.0. I was playing with Windows Media Center, looking how to utilize the internet TV and other features. I was clicking on all types of options to see what would happen. Now, when I boot up the PC, Media Center starts up and I can’t close out of it. Could someone tell me what this program does and steps to use it? Or, how to un-use it. I was clicking on options like, set up speakers, monitor,settings etc. I have no idea how these adjustments may effect my computer now. Sometimes, I think I should listen to my wife who tells me not to experiment with things I don’t know about, but, I seem to learn better that way. Thanks so much.

[JAWS-Users] Edit field in WLM
Hi all, 15.0, Win 7 and WLM. When I send a new e mail, It seems that the edit field will only hold about 3 words on 1 line. When I hit the read all command, all I get is the word,”edit” repeatedly. I seemed to have success by hitting the menu key and arrowed down to “Maximize”. Is there a way to keep this setting so I don’t have to go through this process every time I compose a new message?

Re: [JAWS-Users] bin
Hope thisis helpful, it's from a while ago. Rich /// 12/2012.1. If you haven't done so then go to Add/remove programs and uninstall anything that remotely resembles 'bing' in the listing. 2. Hit the windows key to go to the windows7 edit search field and type msconfig. then go to the services tab, make sure 'hide all Microsoft services' is unchecked and then go down the long list there to see if you can find any listing with the word 'bing' in it. uncheck them, hit apply, then Ok and then you need to restart your computer. 3. Again go to the windows search edit field by hitting the windows key and type regedit. In the results, hit enter on regedit.exe. Now no need to be scared of screwing up your registry as if all you do is what I say below you will be just fine. You don't need to be any PC expert to do this in your registry. Once in the registry after hitting enter on regedit.exe, hit control F and type in bing. then hit alt F. You are searching for any entry in the super vast registry files and folders for any entry with the words bing in it. Each time you land on a result, hit the delete button, ignore any doom/gloom msg and accept the yes button. After deleting the first entry with the word bing in it, hit F3 to jump to continue the same search and repeat the delete process if it finds another entry with 'bing' in it. Hit F3 again and so on and so forth until you have deleted every registry entry with the word 'bing' in it. /// -Original Message- From: Marilyn Walker Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2014 3:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] bin Fred, did anyone try the Microsoft accessibility number in regard to this Bing problem.

Now tab to okay press enter. To read an attachment, 1, open the message which contains the attached file, 2, now shift+tab, You should see the attached file, Press enter. You should hear; Do you want to open this file? If you do, just tab to open. You also have the option to save the attachment, 1, open the message which contains the attached file, 2,press alt+f=file, 3, S=save file, Down arrow and enter on save attachments, Now you will first hear the name of the attached file, Tab once you'll see/hear, the destination of where the file will be saved, Now tab and enter on the save button.

When you are on the menu you want you'll hear, File sub-menu, for example, so, press enter to open the dropdown list & you can down or up arrow through the list of options. 4. When you are on the menu you want press enter or if you hear an option / button, press the spacebar to open. Note: That anything new to 2007 or later shows up at the bottom of the appropriate menu, so you don't lose anything. Excel: 1. Press the, Alt key, to open the menu bar. 2. Right arrow 2 times to the, Menu tab. 3. Now you can tab from menu to menu. When you are on the menu you want you'll hear, File button dropdown, for example so, press the spacebar to open the dropdown list & you can down or up arrow through the list of options. 4.

None of the other navigational techniques I know work either - tab, etc. I enabled the JAWS ribbon menu for ease of access. Any ideas how to unlock the dropdown grid's secrets? More generally..I see where not using the JAWS ribbon menu feature can be advantageous to one who can first letter navigate. Is the ribbon menu feature just the equivalent of training wheels? This said, I use Word only for drafts and won't likely need more than an occasional layout and print color change.

Here you go, from Jaws training: The Virtual Ribbon Menu Feature - New in JAWS 12 Introduction The ribbon is a new style of menu available in many new applications being released today. Ribbons first appeared in Office 2007 programs, but are now becoming more common in other applications tailored for the WindowsR 7 operating system. Ribbons create an accessibility challenge due to inconsistent navigation between various groups and items. For example, the lower ribbon contains groups of icons, sometimes arranged in several rows. When you press the ARROW keys to move between items in a group, you can skip items if there is a row above or below the one you are on. When pressing the ARROW keys or TAB, no indication is given when focus leaves one group and enters another. You cannot use first letter navigation in the ribbons, because pressing keys might activate ribbon key tips. Finally, because of a group's layout, you do not know if you should navigate up, down, left, or right to select an item. The new virtual ribbon menu feature in JAWSR screen reading software provides predictable navigation, lets you see everything in the ribbon, and offers consistency when navigating with the ARROW keys. For example, each group on the lower ribbon is treated as a submenu. Once you open the group submenu, you can press DOWN ARROW to move through all of the items within that group. When you reach the bottom of the items in that group, focus wraps back to the top item, and vice versa. You can also use first letter navigation in the virtual ribbon menu. Here are a few keystrokes to help you get started using the virtual ribbon menu: list of 6 items . Move from one ribbon tab to another, ALT to move to the first tab, then LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. JAWS reads the name of the tab as you move to it. . Move from an upper ribbon tab to the lower ribbon groups, DOWN ARROW or ENTER. JAWS announces and treats the lower ribbon groups as if they were submenus. . Open a ribbon group submenu, RIGHT ARROW or ENTER. . Navigate the items within each submenu, UP or DOWN ARROW, or first letter navigation. . Close a submenu, LEFT ARROW or ESC. . Move from the lower ribbon back to the upper ribbon, ESC. list end NOTE: One nice feature of the JAWS virtual ribbon menu is that when you activate an item and focus returns to the document or application you are working on, JAWS remembers where you just were on the ribbon. If you press ALT again, instead of having to go back to the upper ribbon and find your place again, JAWS goes right back to where it was previously, in the same group, and on the exact same control you were last on. I'll demonstrate all of these things to you, and you can practice along with me in just a few minutes. Also, just a reminder, whenever you want to pause the audio of this DAISY book, just press CTRL+P. When you are ready to resume, press CTRL+P again. Remember, you can leave the DAISY book in the background and use this keystroke to play or pause the audio while working on your practice documents in the foreground.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws tandem
Greetings, My experience with Tandem has been very good. Has the issue you encountered been when you gain access to another PC, when you allow access to your PC, or regardless of who initiates the tandem session? When the lag occurs, do you know what type of connection the two PC's have? I'm wondering if it could be due to slow internet connectivity on one or both machines, or a lack of sufficient system resources.

If I remember correctly, if you install MSSE in Windows 7 it turns off Windows Defender. However, if you are using Avast, AVG or some other antivirus program in Windows 7 then you can use Windows Defender as an antispyware application. It's kind of strange but in Windows 7 Microsoft made MSSE their antivirus and antispyware program and turned off Windows Defender when MSSE gets installed, but in Windows 8 they chose Windows Defender for their antivirus protection.

The BT device fits snuggly in a USB port. If you get this particular model, it has a row of additional function keys above the typical function keys for, email, browser, searches, media player, etc. thus eliminating need to go to start menu or desktop icon. Also has numpad, it's a complete full size desktop keyboard. It only has one window's key on the left side though. Keys are good size on the qwerty section. The function keys are in one long continuous row, you might have to mark them if necessary. It operates on 2 double A batteries, I've had good success with the 2 I own. - Original Message - From: "Richard Hamel" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 4:04 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer feature question Thanks for that, I can now relax.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Looking for "spell checker".
Hi all, I clicked on the link for TinySpell and followed the prompts for the free download. When I tried to open it up after saving it then running it.I got a message that said it could not be opened. I went in to "Programs and Features" and saw at least 3 programs that were added for today's date that I did not pick out. So, I uninstalled all of them including TinySpell. Is it normal to get additional programs when you try to download just one? p.s. I apologize for the possible edit field on my replies, but I do not know how to adjust the edit field to have longer or bigger lines.

I got so rattled about all of this that I couldn't remember how to turn on the computer! This, after having gone through win 95, 98, xp and now 7 and all jaws since version 3.

[JAWS-Users] Negotiating DVD player?
Hi all, I have 15.0 and Win 7. I have Windows Media Player and VLC on a new ASUS PC. I am having trouble when running a CD &/or DVD. The CD will play, but I am unable to go back and forth from 1 track to another. I've been using the JAWS curser in the menu section and clicking on stop/pause/next/back with no actions responding on the disc. Also, when I put the JAWS 15.0 disc to run a repair, it was complicated getting the disc to run. I initially was given a host of options like, audio in either VLC or Media player, run in Dropbox, and many other options. Please help with any suggestions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Collapsed messages in WLM
George, For some reason, even though WLM is not the default, my e mails seem centered in WLM. If I open the WLM first and delete an e mail then, the message is not in Outlook. However, If I open Outlook first and delete e mails, WLM keeps them and then I have to go through the list again to delete. Please give any advice on how to make the Outlook the main e mail client Thanks so much.
