Interesting. I am having a problem with Jaws volume dropping at times. I ran 
through the settings on the Wizard but I don't see that setting. Running 
Jaws 2018.  Tom

I fixed my JAWS losing volume issue by checking the drop the volume of
other programs in the start up wizard.  Hope that doesn't mess up
something else?

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

I have been shopping on Amazon for years and for the most part have no

Gerald,

The presence of variable will depend on what you are ordering. I selected a
DIY frame, and a combo list was presented with a style type to pick. But
regardless, I was not able to work the buttons after that.

But I did see a thread on the JFW list with a similar issue in selecting
something on the screen. Here is that solution:

To select the tick box with JAWS, simply press the bypass key, JAWS key+3
then space bar.  This will tick it.

Give that  a try and let us know.

On Hollar.com, there are no variables.  There are no elements other than the
quantity edit field which is set to 1 by default and the add to shopping
cart button.  You enter the quantity of the item you want if if it is more
than 1 and click on the button to add it to your cart.  But no keystroke
will activate it with JAWS or any other screen reader.

I'm speculating that in the case where you cannot press the "Add to Cart
Button" there is some other element (checkbox, combo box, editable combo
box, edit field) that needs to be used/selected before the button will
activate. For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then a
number needs first to be entered. In other cases, I've seen where a size or
a color choice must first be selected before the button can be activated.
There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on
the item itself, that it's hard to pin down a specific problem related to
JAWS.

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.

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.

Good morning all!  I'm trying to help with one of our employees here at work
on an issue where JAWS freezes unexpectedly when switching from one window
to another using the Alt Tab key.  The issue is difficult to resolve because
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
job.  I have offered several solutions, but nothing has worked yet.  When
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.

or are you talking about the windows mail app, with windows 10.
if it's the windows live mail,
the autofill will never work, because there's no jaws scripting, so, even
the NVDA doesn't autofill.
if your talking about the windows 10 mail app, again there's no jaws
scripting, however with the NVDA, there's a windows essentials add-on which
works well.

that if I write the first few letters and press control K, I'd get a list of

The first time Windows update failed to install, I had to hire someone who 
knew what he was doing to manually install the update. I'd first contacted 
MS Accessibility. After an hour, they gave up and escalated. However, I 
didn't get any follow-up until this past Sunday, more than a month later. By 
then, the initial failure had been resolved. However, it's just happened 
again. I haven't decided what to do. In the past, MS Accessibility was going 
to solve another problem by reinstalling windows, which seemed to me much to 
dramatic. In that case, too, I turned instead to an expert who made the fix 
without trauma to my system, although some to my bank account.


I wish I had more confidence in MS Accessibility. For certain relatively 
minor things, I'm guessing they're fine, but for anything complex, you 
really need to monitor what they're up to. In addition, letting a month 
elapse before acting on an escalated matter, especially when security is 
involved, was unconscionable.


The short answer is that I have no idea how to solve this recurring Windows 
update failure by myself. If someone on this list does, we'd owe them a free 
subscription!!

Good afternoon all!

I am writing because I am encountering an odd issue when trying to load JAWS
18 onto a Windows 7 operating system.

When I click on the J18.0.4534 executeable, it begins the process.  At the
46 percent mark, an error message appears saying the following

JAWS Set-up package error, The JAWS set-up package could not install the 
required component RunTimeJAWS.  The process will now exit.


I'm looking for help with this issue.  Any ideas would be helpful.  Many 
thanks!

It doesn't sound like everybody is reporting this IE issue.

Still, it makes sense to accustom oneself to moving away from IE. I know it 
has some decent features, but it's increasingly ineffective and unusable on 
some websites. I don't know when security updates for it will stop .. 
probably not til 2020 as that's when Windows 7 support ends ... but still.


Firefox 52 ESR is currently the thing to get if you are wanting to use FF 
and JAWS. It works without any issues. There has been some difficulty in 
adapting JAWS to Firefox Quantum, but they are working on it. You could also 
use NVDA. Really, nowadays it makes sense to have both screen-readers on 
your machine.

Go into quick settings with JAWS key+v, then arrow down to "Select and copy

Tab to okay.
The default is to display a webpage more or less as it appears on the 
screen. The "virtual cursor" gives JAWS greater precision so that when you 
select text, it selects the text you intend.

neither the insert F10 or F11 show Jaws. I am looking at he application tab 
in the task manager. However someone suggested insert J, that works.

Hi Tom,

First, which version of Windows are you running?  If you're running Windows
7 you're using the wrong keystroke to open the Task Manager.  If you run
Jaws from the system tray it won't show in the list of running programs,
Insert + F10.  Press, Insert + F11, & see if it's in the system tray.  When
you open the Task Manager for Windows 7, Control, Shift, + Escape, which Tab
are you looking at?  There are 5 Tabs in the Task Manager: Applications,
Processes, Services, Performance, & Networking.  If Jaws is running it
should show in more than 1 of the tabs, but check the Applications tab, & if
Jaws is running & it isn't showing here, someone else needs to give you more
help because I sure as hell don't know what to tell you at that point.  LOL
Take care.  Mike.  Dodgers, try again next year!

Greg,

I'm sure you're right. To the extent I understand anything about PDF files, 
they need to be properly tagged. What I do in order to get the information I 
need from untagged financial statements is to figure out what exactly that 
is. Typically, it's the amount due and the list of transactions, if any. I 
go directly to the amount due by searching for the $ dollar sign.


If I want to read the transactions, I search for a portion of a date. For 
example, if the statement has a closing date in mid-September, I'll search 
for the two characters

9/
Since the most recent, and therefore top, transaction probably occurred in 
September. Naturally if 9/ doesn't work, I substitute 8/.


Note. To search in a PDF document, press JAWS key+control+f.

I realize this is a workaround, but perhaps it's helpful.

There are several different ways these controls work. You should be able to

work, start over by pressing enter, then skip the alt-arrow step and just

In one box that I work with all the time, the trick is to press enter when I

Hello, everyone.



It seems that I have narrowed the Jaws crashing issue on my current Windows
7 computer down to the following sequence of events.



Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open.
Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws
either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command.



The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer.



My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she
can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down
the computer.



Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue?



Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem??



I did not have this problem prior to  updateing to Jaws 18.

[JAWS-Users] speech engines

[T. Civitello]

OK! I downloaded the Voice Express 2 synthesizer and installed it. Went into 
the Jaws 18 utility menu and added it, went into the Jaws voices menu and 
selected Nathan and saved the profile. Works great until I leave Jaws and then 
Eloquence comes back. I must have missed something, didn’t see a button to make 
Voice Express the default. Where did I go wrong.  Tom

Yes I saw that and I am running Jaws 18. Are the voices as good or better 
than Eloquence.?.

When you go to synthicizer downloads it will tell you that the Vocalizer 2
is only for JAWS 18 and higher.

As I am having trouble with Eloquence varying the volume I would like to try
a different speech engine. I see in the Jaws menu for synthasizers that
there is a vocalizer Express and on the Jaws Web site there is a Vocalizer
Express 2. Has anyone on the list used these? Is there a difference between
the two? Is downloading the ?  Vocalizer Express 2 and installing it
difficult?  Thanks,  Tom For answers to frequently asked questions about

HI



Are any of you using the Logitech K760 keyboard with windows 10 and Jaws? By
default it seems to be set in enhanced mode for the F1 through to F12 keys.
To work in standard mode I have to press and hold down the fn key while
pressing F1 through to F12 to get Jaws to recognise. Is there a way to get
the keys to work in standard mode?



There is a new model, K480 which claims to work with windows. Looking at the
manual I am thinking that it too may not be possible?



Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth keyboard that you have successfully used
with Jaws, without having to hold down the FN key to make the function keys
work?

I am a bit concerned over the significant drop in list traffic over the past

others have done the same.


It might be possible that the list has run its’ course. It is 11 years old 
this week as a matter of fact which I find hard to believe myself.


Let’s see how things go for a while before any major decisions are made so 
don’t anybody panic at this point. I am just expressing my concern about the 
way things have dropped off so much. It had to happen sooner or later. The 
fact is I have no idea how long the average email list stays in business, I 
suppose that would be an interesting study.

I have a Citi Bank account and pay my bills on it. When They made changes a 
couple of years ago and I started having problems, I called them and they 
provided me with a link to the older version and I haven't had any problems 
since.  Tom

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Citibank website navigation

Hi. I'm trying to help a new JAWS user who is experienced with IE. We've run 
into problems on the Citibank website. I don't have a Citibank account, and 
so I can't log in. So, does anyone have thoughts about the following three 
issues?



1.   The website has a virtual assistant that seems to interfere with 
JAWS. Can it be removed?



2.   I notice on the log-in page a purported link for screenreader 
users. However, I can't activate the link no matter what I try. Any ideas?



3.   Finally, is there more than one bill pay page? My friend isn't 
recognizing the organization of the bill pay page he found. I think this may 
be a misunderstanding, but I could be wrong.

Hi,
I get much more consistent results if I press windows+B to get into the
notification area. Once you do that, just right arrow to all of the icons in
your notification area and press the applications key on any of them if you
want to do something with that icon. After you are done, press windows+D to
get back to the desktop. The windows+B works so well. It is best if you have
all of your icons showing in the notification area. To do this, Press CTRL
+I to open the settings app and press enter on system and down arrow twice
to notifications and actions. press enter on that and tab to the link that
says choose which icons appear in the system tray and enter on that. Check
the box that says show all. Close settings and press windows+B and all of
your icons will be there and just press right and left arrow to get to them.
By doing this, you do not have to mess around with the JAWS command of
insert+F11 to do anything with the notification area. Jim Flusche taught me
all of this, so give him the credit. I am just repeating what Jim taught me
to do. Thanks and take care.

Hi Everyone,



I am using Windows 7, Word 2010, and JAWS 13, on a laptop.  I have an
existing five page document in Word that I would like to change it to a
different font style♣.  I have placed the cursor at the beginning of the
existing document and than I press control, shift and the letter F, to take
me to the list of different fonts styles.  Once I find the desired font, I
press Enter and it takes me to the beginning of my document.  However, it
does not change the font in my existing document.



If I follow the above procedure in a blank Word document, the new font will
appear when I type something new.  Am I doing something wrong, or fonts can
not be changed in existing documents?



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm having an issue with reading PDF's using Adobe. I'm working on a

the text. When I try to use the OCR to read the document, it does not.
Before opening the PDF, the following message appears on the website used to
gather the PDF's:
This PDF document opens in a frame, to view the document outside of a frame,
please change your Adobe Reader settings. To do this, open Adobe Reader, go
to help menu and select accessibility setup assistant options then select
use recommend settings and skip setup.
However, I cannot seem to be able to find where any of these options are in
the help menu through Adobe.

Hi All,

I was cleaning out my office the other day (they are giving us new

connector. Now aside from the connector issue, is the hardware DecTalk
even supported anymore by Jaws? If so, is there a converter that will
allow me to connect it to my laptop?

In my opinion, the hardware DecTalk was the best speech ever so I am
really hoping it is still a viable option.

Thanks for any info.
