[JAWS-Users] need help with security capture screens.
For my fellow JAWS users. I have been trying to set up an account out on STEAM for online games. Like most web pages these days it takes a security capture code. Now most companies these days are offering a audio challenge. But Valve corporation, the company behind the STEAM online gaming web page isn’t even offering we blind gamers a audio challenge. The web address is at www.steampowered.com I can get through all of the fields except when it comes to the security capture screen. Even my sighted father couldn’t even read the stupid security capture info to me. So, I’m running windows 10 and the latest copy of jaws 17. Can we get jaws to read capture screen info to us? That way, we too may enjoy some of these web pages. Very Thankfully Yours, Ron Kolesar who’s known in the FSX Flight simulator world as the Blind Pilot.

[JAWS-Users] Is the following a JAWS 17 issue or a windows 10 issue?
Hi to all. Anyone have the following problem when down loading a program or what ever, or transvering a folder or file from one drive or folder to another or what ever? I am seeing the following. You would start the transfer and or down load and you would see the following message Get less details checked. So you would tap your spacebar to uncheck that and the get more details would pop up which is what you want but it tells you that the get more details is’' not actually checked. So to get the get more details to be checked to get more details you tap your spacebar. But when you do tap your spacebar thinking that you’ll check the get more details the get less details pops up and it states that it is checked once again. So which is giving you the accurate info. Are you getting the more details when you have the less details checked or are you getting the more details when the get more details is checked like it should be checked? See my issue that I’m having? Many Many thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] would anyone have any tips on using open office with JAWS?
Hi to all. I just down loaded and installed open office to see how it would work. I’m running win 10 and jaws 17 latest copy. Any and all advice is welcome. Many thanks. Ron For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] noticed the following.
To my fellow JAWS users. I noticed when down loading I would get less details checked. So I would uncheck it. Then when I do that I would see the pop up more details not checked. When I would go to check the more details to get more details while down loading, I would get less details checked. Is this another jaws 17 display issue or is this another win 10 issue. Also, one more item as I think of it. In windows 7 when I would down load items to the pc or move folders and files around, you would see how fast the folders and files are moving at. Now in win 10, you do see how many files and or folders you’re moving, it also shows up how many files and or folders are left to be moved and a eta to complete the moval of everything. But you don’t se your processer speed to move those items. It this too a JAWS 17 display issue or is it a win 10 display issue? It would be nice to receive this info once again as well as the already info that we’re receiving. Many Thanks. Ron and semi-retired Leader Dog Boz.

[JAWS-Users] Is the following a JAWS issue or a win 10 issue Eric?
Hi Eric, from Ron and Leader Dog Boz. When we would do a win I and check up on the updates, we would get your computer is up to date or we're down loading updates and would you like to reboot your system and so on. We're no longer are getting those messages when we check up on the updates ans such. Could you look into that with the next jfw update?\ Or was that changed with the win 10 update? If it was a change when JFW 17 was released, any chance or giving us back those messages? Many Many Thanks from a JFW user. Many thanks.

[JAWS-Users] asking a few questions.
Hi to all, from Ron Kolesar. I’m currently using the latest version of jaws, which also encludes the patch that came down the other day as well. I purchased a USB to nine pen adaptor so that I may be able to use my dec-talk express once again. I see that my dec-talk is plugged into com port 3, how can I change this to be plugged into com port one? Also, not sure why this is happening, but noticed it after using the dt express. When I press the deleete key on the calculator keypad to delete a letter some time it will just say delete and other times it spells the word delete and still kills the letter. Would anyone know why this is. Also, one last item. I’ve tried I think it’s a alt l or is it a ctrl l for language. I’ve tried to type in english, but it will not expcept it. So for synthesizer language it is set to none. Do we need a language? Because it is working fine without a language set. Just some thought and I’m enjoying dec-talk express on a win 10 machine. Thanks for all of the help. Ron Kolesar. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Hi If you're referring to Dectalk Access32, the version from Freedom Scientific will run on any Version of JAWS, but only if it is run on Windows XP or lower. Unfortunately, Dectalk Access32 cannot be successfully used on Windows Vista, 7 or 8 and I assume Windows 10. So Dectalk Access32 can be used on JAWS 15 and earlier on Windows XP. But it cannot be used with JAWS 16 or later since they can't be installed on Windows XP. To use Dectalk Access32 from Freedom Scientific you had to pay for an upgrade to your JAWS license. There also used to be a version of Dectalk Access32 from GW Micro, but I believe JAWS stopped supporting that version in JAWS 11 or 12. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Vicky Vaughan Sent: Friday, February 12, 2016 7:11 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Access 32?

Ok. Let’s see how long roadrunner will allow me to use the address to access the jaws mailing list this time around. Hopefully since I had shipped roadrunner a letter telling them that this is a valid address I’ll stop being bounced from this list. I had just tried to subscribe to this list and was told that I’m already subscribed to this list.

Hi Ron, Here's a tutorial I wrote on how to use the batch converter, a feature that GoldWave has. This will allow you to do more than one file at a time, and you don't have to sit there and wait for the file to decompress in the main window. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. ***Begin Tutorial*** If you are in the Gold Wave main window, once it opens up, if you press the alt+F to get to the file menu, then press the letter B for batch conversions, it will open up another dialog box that you can do batch conversions with, or you can choose to do just one file, it's up to you. Once in that dialog box, tab to the button that says add, and press the space bar. Another dialog box will pop up, similar to the save as dialog box, so if you know exactly where the file is, go ahead and type it in. If you don't know the exact file location, just do a shift+tab to the window just above the one you're in, and backspace four or five times, or until your screen reader reads out my documents. Once it says that, just go ahead and find the folder where the files are that you want to convert. Once you find the files, go ahead and select them, either, contiguously, or non-contiguously, and tab to the open button and press the spacebar. Once you press the open button, you'll land back on the add button. If you have more files you want to convert, just press the add button and go through what I just outlined above. If you don't have anymore files to convert, you can tab to the check box that says, convert files to this format. Make sure this box is checked, so you can tell it what to convert the files to. Once you check that box, tab down to the combo box that asks you what file type to convert the files to. You must want to select the exact file type for all the files you want to convert. You can't do one file type for some of the files and another file type for another bunch of files you selected. That's why this function is called the batch conversion feature of Gold Wave. You can only convert the files to the same file type. Once you select the file format you want to convert the files to, tab down to the bitrate and frequency selection. I'm going to assume, for time's sake, that you already know all about bitrate and frequency rates, and just continue on from here to the next step. Once you set the bitrate and frequency rates, do a control+tab over to the file locations tab to set where you would like Gold Wave to save the converted files once their done. You have two choices here. You can either choose to save the converted files in their original folders, or save them in a different folder. This I leave up to you, and I can tell you that this tab is pretty much self-explanatory, so go ahead and make your settings as you see fit. Once you've made your selection, just tab over to the button that says begin, and press the spacebar. Once a dialog box pops up, with an ok button, you're files are done converting, and you can just press the ok button. You'll land back on the begin button, so just tab over to the cancel button, then you'll land on the Gold Wave main window. You can just alt+F4 out of that, and you can go delete the pre-converted files. Just make sure you clear your recycle bin, as those files will use up a lot of space on your computer. I would also recommend you check the files for length and bitrate choice, as you can always go back into your recycle bin and restore the files you deleted, so I suggest you check the files before you empty the recycle bin. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask, and I'll endeavour to answer them as quickly as possible.

Hi to all. Has anyone else noticed the following with j 17 with win10? 1. the dictionary will not work. 2. When you tap your five key on the calculator keypad to do fanatic spelling, it works in the following way. You tap your five key on the first letter and it will spell fanatically for you. but right arrow to the next letter. That next letter is not fanatically spelled. You have to tap your five key once again. Any one know if we can fix these problems? Thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[JAWS-Users] Can i get step by step instructions for converting m4a files to mp3 files?
Hi to all. I have both goldwave but not yet installed, but I do have VLC installed. Would anyone have good step by step instructions for converting m4a files to mp3 files? For we Victor Reader Stream version 2 owners. VRS will play m4a files in the music bookshelf. But you can not fast forward or rewind the file. Plus, it’s looking like when I go to try to play a different audio m4a formatted tutorial, it plays only the one file. So I’d like to listen to Jim’s tutorials on my small VRS unit to be easier to follow along. Until I pick up a couple of USB to nine pen adaptors so that I can have my dec-talk express back. Because everything coming out of the speakers will drive you nuts. SMILES. So many many thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Is anyone having problems with the dictionary?Hi to all, I am playing a online truck driving game. There are some abbreviations and some words that need to be placed in the dictionary to sound better. Just using the insert d command crashes JFW and you have to wait a good two minutes before it will start up again. Don’t even ask me about the default for the dictionary. So I was curious to know if anyone else is having problems with the insert key with win 10 and jfw 17? Thanks. Now it looks like the problem is with the dictionary when you go to the default dictionary.

[JAWS-Users] Finally Back up and running.
To all of my knoledgeable friends, I need your help with a problem. I have my mail back up and running. Before killing the older computer and there’s more things to get off of the older computer. But I went down under user, then app data, then local, then microsoft then to windows live mail and copied that folder and all of my mailboxes and everything inside the folder. But I have the following problem. How can I get my older mailboxes with all of those EM:L files of letters, into the new windows live mail folder in the new computer? I know a couple smart people like Londa and Dave could help me with this small problem. So, I hope I haven’t lost all of that mail. Many Many Thanks. Also, one weird thing that I am still receiving even on the newer computer. When I go to type a address in the to field. Even those I only type in the address once, and it could be because some times I type in the address by the address and other times via the nickname for that pers. But, it doesn’t matter how I do the address in the to field, it still comes up two copies of the address. The first address is fine, but then without a space at the end of the first copy of the first address I get a greater than sign then the second copy of the address then a lesser than sign then a colon. Then I usually have to cut the entire line out of the to box and place it into the cc box or where ever. Go to the greater than sign and space it once so it isn’t near the original copy of the email address that I want and then deleete the greater than and crap out, and then cut the original copy of the email address that I want and place it back into the to field once again, then double check it to make sure there’s no colons or spaces at the end of the address. Then only then can I ship out the letter. Also, To the left of the body of the letter it states that I have a personal business card. I never put it into any of my out going mail. So how can I kill that as well? I thank anyone who can help me out in advance. Now I can read all of that back log of mail from about the last week from being down getting the new window ten computer.

But who in this day and age would want a 32 bit processor versionof any software program? I'm surprised that there is still a 32 bit processor still on the market these days. Just my two cents on this topic. Ron and current Leader Dog boz who states "that a service dog beats a cane paws down any day of the week." -Original Message- From: Mike B Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 6:33 PM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17 Download Links & What's New Hi All, Below are the direct download links for Jaws 17 for both 32 & 64 bit systems. Also, what's new is below the download links. 32 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J17.0.1010enu-x86.exe 64 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J17.0.1010enu-x64.exe What's new: JAWS 17 Features Smart Navigation, More Efficient Interaction with Complex Web Pages and Applications Today and in the future, users will be faced with an increased need to work with complex web forms, tables, and even applications that run inside of a web browser. This will impact your day to day interactions with services on-line such as banking and shopping, in addition to many web apps found in both companies and government agencies. For instance, Internet Explorer can be used to log onto a Microsoft SharePoint server to collaborate with other co-workers and create and store documents. The new Smart NavigationT feature is designed to make it more efficient when navigating web-based applications with the Virtual Cursor as the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW or CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW commands move by control instead of character and word. This makes navigation such as moving across toolbars, tab strips, and navigation links more like navigating around a desktop application. Pressing the Say Character, Say Word, or Say Line commands twice quickly changes to the traditional navigation by character, word, line, sentence, and paragraph so you can review the text of the control. Smart Navigation resumes when you move to a different control by pressing UP or DOWN ARROW or TAB. Alternatively, you can use the INSERT+X command to quickly toggle between Smart Navigation and the more traditional character and word navigation depending on the type of web site you are navigating. For example, if you use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move across a tab strip, you might hear JAWS announce something like; "Home tab selected," "Insert tab," and "Page Layout tab." If you wanted to review the items on the tab strip character by character, press the Say Character (NUM PAD 5), Say Word (INSERT+NUM PAD 5), or Say Line (INSERT+UP ARROW) commands twice quickly. You can now navigate by character or word until you press DOWN ARROW to move away from the tab strip to another control. Smart Navigation is off by default. To turn it on, there are a few ways. The quickest way to enable Smart Navigation is through the Startup Wizard which automatically launches after JAWS is installed. When the wizard starts, select the Next button until you reach the Common Options page. You will be focused on a group of radio buttons where you can use the ARROW keys to choose the Smart Navigation option you want to use (Controls and Tables or Controls). Pressing TAB moves you to another group of radio buttons that allow you to select how Forms Mode activates. For the best experience with Smart Navigation, it is recommended that users set Forms Mode to Semi-Auto or Manual. This prevents JAWS from unexpectedly turning on Forms Mode while navigating with the ARROW keys. Once you have changed the options you want, continue selecting Next until you reach the Braille Settings page and then select Finish to save your changes. Smart Navigation will now be enabled for any environments that use the Virtual Cursor. Alternatively, Smart Navigation can be configured through Settings Center or Quick Settings. For instance, you may want to use Smart Navigation in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. You can also temporarily toggle Smart Navigation on or off using the INSERT+X command. For instance, if you have configured Smart Navigation to be enabled by default and you encounter a web page where you would prefer not to use it, you can press INSERT+X to turn it off and use the more traditional navigation. JAWS will switch back to Smart Navigation when focus moves away from the browser or you navigate to a different web site. This command is also useful if you do not want to use the Say Character, Say Word, or Say Line commands twice quickly to switch to standard navigation. It offers the additional benefit of not automatically switching back to Smart Navigation when you move to a different control with the UP or DOWN ARROW keys. You can just press INSERT+X again to toggle back to Smart Navigation when you are ready. Note: When using this command to toggle Smart Navigation under certain circumstances such as inside a table, focus will not always remain at the location of the

Re: [JAWS-Users] vipre 2016
Hi Mike. So you're saying 1. If I get Vipre, it will take care of both win 10's built in defender and it will also take care of what Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is supp-ose to do as well? 2. For the one time lifetime fee, how many computer can use that one program? I ask this because I have the desktop in my bedroom. My brother has a laptop, and our folks have their laptop. So can you use it on more than one machine? 3. I remember seeing a while back from this list that there is a audio tutorial of the vipre program. For which version of the program is it for? Is it for learning one's way around ver 15 or ver 16? When one is on SSDI, you have to watch one's budget. Even if you do live at home with your folks. But the bills still have to be paid first before picking up new toys. SMILES. Many Thanks for the advice.

I know exactly where you are coming from on the income front. I feel that anyone should take the plunge one time and purchase a lifetime subscription for Vipre rather than the yearly subscription. For about the price of 2 years subscription, you can take advantage of the programs benefits for the life of your computer, and since I did purchase a 3 PC license, I am still using it on my newest computer. I am liking the 2016 version of Vipre, it is more accessible than it has been for the past year, and it is working well for me. The program does take a little getting used to, but once you find your way around to the different things that you need to use, it will become very easy to use. It will be quite awhile before I purchase another computer, but I am considering purchasing another license to Vipre when I do, unless something dramatic changes in the program by that time. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in helping you set up the program or other issues when you make your decision.

[JAWS-Users] A windows defender view point.
Hi to all. I just notice something interesting with windows 10 anti virus program defender. When you run a scan and when the scan is completed. If you do your normal insert f11 you'll see pc status protected show up in your system tray. But if you reboot your computer, then do a insert f11 to go back into the system tray, the statement pc status protection is no longer in your list of items in your system tray.

Then you're all set. A huge thanks but I wrote to the windows 10 list last night and Jim came up with the answer before this list did.

[JAWS-Users] Asking a question of curiousity.
Just was curious to know the following. What e-mail package comes with win 10 and is it jaws or screen reader friendly? I know that edge still needs some work. But just was curious to know if the mail package is blind friendly or not. Ron who is going to wait until at least jaws 17 come out before taking the plunge to win 10.

[JAWS-Users] finally back up and running.
Just would like to thank all of my fellow subscribers for all of your help. I just got off of the phone with microsoft support for the disabled hotline. Was on the phone with them for about a hour hour and a half and found out 1. had virouses that I didn't know that I had. 2. the UAC was up to high. But I always usually had the UAC set a one hundred percent and still was able to down load programs. But they ran my ie back to defaults then rebult it for me. I not sure what I am going to do with the win 10 icon. I know where to go in windows to back up my wlm mail and their mailboxes, I know where to go to gram bht favorites, the my documents folder and the down load folder. I think that pretty much covers everything to a rewriteable dvd disk. The lady from the phone said that I could grab the icon and up grade to win 10 from 7 but to back up the folders and files before doing so. Which we all know is the firstrule of computers is to back up back up back first. Also, they said that there's a link on win 10 to save files. I was told if that is checked that you shouldn't loose anything. Has anyone who has used the icon to jump from win 7 to win 10 loss anything from their computer? Maybe I just need a hand holding. SMILES. So many Thanks. Ron who's not sure if he sho9uld stay with win 7 or to dive into win 10 and click on the icon and jump to win 10 or wait to the back to school sells and grab a new pc with win 10 already on it.

one thing to think about. I have my updates set to automatic. But you will see a checkmark to let me to decide which updates I want to down load and to install first. I have that checked. So, you'll should still be able to get your updates but they will not install unless you check them off to be down loaded and installled. At least I think that's how that works out.
