Hi David. Thanks for your tip on organizing Favorites. Once the folders are made, how then do I go through my list and select, copy and paste it into the folder?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Suggestions or Cautions Please?
My first tuner card is an Adaptech duel tuner. I think if both channels were working, I might be home free. What I want to happen, is for a card to give me the opportunity to think of the DVD or video playing in the same way as a TV show that is playing and be able to record it in the same fashion.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Suggestions or Cautions Please?
Hi and thank you for continuing to try and help me! However, I think we are having some misunderstanding. Only 1 of my tuners on my Adaptech duel tuner is working. I am placing the video or DVD in my machine that plays either one of them. I do not put the DVD in my computer's disk drive, to be read by my tuner, Instead, I want the Win Hauppauge tuner to receive the video and audio signal from the video/DVD machine. That is why, I thought each of my videos or DVDS could be available through my Windows Media Center. Are you saying that this is not possible? What would make their video and audio signals any different from the cable's video/audio signals? Again Many thanks!

So let me get this right you have the adapctech dual tuner and a Hauppauge tuner card? That makes 3 tuners. You would have to have your cable source hooked to both to get both to get channels. Running both shouldn't be much, because there software and drivers are different. Now as far as DVD and video's. The computer handles those two different. you can rip the DVD and get a 4mbg file. Because you can only have one DVD in the CDROM. Its not possible to get the tuner cards listings to show up with the DVD or video files. there just to different in handling.

You can change your screen echo to All from highlighted. This should cause JAWS to read more of the details as you use up or down arrow keys between the listed items. You can also leave screen echo on highlighted and use right arrow key after moving on to a file name. Keep using right arrow key to hear the associated headers. Using left arrow will read them in the other direction. You can also use tab key to the headers and use right and left arrow keys across them. Pressing enter key on any of them will sort the list of files in reverse order. If you press enter on the Name header, the list of files will be listed from Z to A. If you press enter on the same Name header again, the list will be sorted back in A to Z order. The same is true for the other headers. Pressing enter one time on the date modified header will sort the list by most current date and pressing enter on the date modified header again will sort files showing the earliest modified files at the top of the list. You can choose which headers to show by going under the view menu and opening the Choose Details menu item. In the dialog box, you can check items you want to show in details, uncheck those you do not want showing, and move items up or down in order. If you check an item, it will not show as moved to the checked items at the top until you close the dialog and go back into it. You can then sort the checked items as you wish. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
How can I tell by the file name if I really need it? The only way I know how to proceed, is to remove one at a time, and then restart and try out your computer after rebooting. As you can guess, that takes quite a long time. Do you know of a better way to tell from an unknown program name, if it is really necessary? Thanks!

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
This is Vicky responding. In my slow down case, it is something that I've just noticed within the last year or so. However, since I am known for trying out various JAWS settings and then not being able to figure out what new change was caused by what specific setting I might have changed, let alone under what sub menu to look for it, I have no idea if this problem comes from a JAWS setting or the ageing computer.

How often you need to defrag also depends on what you do on your computer. If you do a lot of copying and deleting, you need to defrag more often. Maybe use a memory manager/memory defrag program though some will argue on the usefulness of such a utility. I use Freeram XP Pro, a free memory manager utility. YOu will need to google for its homepage If available, use a hardware synthesizer such as aDECTAlk express or Accent external. Many of these can be had used for cheap these days as they require a legacy serial port on the computer used.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
Thank you for your instructions! They sound very useful for speeding up my computer. However, what I am particularly referring to, is the time delay between pressing a letter key and hearing JAWS echo it. Sometimes, JAWS seems to not even know that I have pressed a key. I've cleaned my keyboard, with the compressed air and got a lot of dog hair out of it. May be it's just wearing out? I had thought that this was just a Jaws problem, but now, I'm not so sure.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible PDF's
Brian, If you have OpenOfice and Writer, can you take a PDF and have it turn it into a Word document? If yes, what Word generation would it be? Many Thanks! Vicky - Original Message - From: Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 12:01 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible PDF's Hello, Writer (part of the OpenOffice.ORG suite) will export Word documents to PDF files. You can do a custom install and only install Writer if you don't want the other programs in the suite installed. When you pick customize you will be presented with a tree view of components. You can press spacebar on each one to choose to have the given component installed or not enabled. Of course you need to leave the suite on level 0 checked, but the programs listed on level 1 can be installed or left out of the installation. After installing Writer, you should run the JAVA accessibility bridge so it will recognize Writer as a JAVA application and then restart your system. When you open a Word document in Writer or when you create a document, open the file menu and use down arrow to the export choice. PDF will be a choice. In the next step of the wizard you might need to use the JAWS cursor and find the graphic before the tagged PDF choice. use a left mouse button click simulation on the graphic. use JAWS cursor to find the button to proceed at the bottom of the window and do a left click simulation on that button. It seems to do a good job tagging, as I use the accessibility version of Acrobat and there was no tagging needed for the exported PDF file. If you use Word 2007 then you can download and install the SaveAsPDFAndXPS plug-in from Microsoft and then you can save as PDF in the normal Save As dialog. Take care.

I tried the www.zamzar.com online service, and it did not create an accessible pdf. Although it did convert Word doc files to a pdf file, the pdf was not tagged and thus not accessible. To be a little techie, the difference is that Acrobat Standard/Pro uses a plugin called PDF Maker for the conversion from doc to pdf, which does the accessible tagging. Whereas, Zamzar uses another conversion tool called e-PDF Converter or Creator v2.1, which does not covert to tags. I also tried GhostWord, which is a free software download, and the first thing I noticed is that the most recent file is from 2004. This is problematic because many of the tagging features necessary for accessible PDFs where not really in the market then. When I tried to open the installation file for the most recent version (2.1), I keep getting the error message The Compressed Folder is invalid or corrupted. The other problem I noticed is that it will only work with Word 2000 or Word 98. So, it looks like GhostWord is not an option. If there is anyone out there that knows of any other software they know of for doc to accessible pdf conversion, please let me know. Thanks!

[JAWS-Users] Super Anti Spy Ware
Hi Folks, I'm using Jaws 11 on an XP3 machine. My Super Anti Spy Ware, is supposed to run quietly in the background and not interrupt or prevent Jaws from speaking. However, frequently it does just that! Is there some parameter I can change to fix that? Or, what ante virus anti spyware do you use that does not cause such problems? In addition, is there a setting in your program, that must be set a certen way, so as not to interfere? Many thanks for any suggestions!

I use both Internet Explorer and FireFox and find them to be pretty similar in accessibility. Webvisum is mainly just used for solving CAPTCHAs and isn't required for a screen reader to work with FireFox. You no longer need an invite to get a webvisum plugin. You can just sign up and get one. As far as flash goes, it is hit or miss on both sides. Listening to samples on audible.com has been a problem for a long time. Apparently in JAWS 12 it is no longer a problem. also System Access seems to have had no issue with the samples for a while now. Having said that, running JAWS 11 I cannot easily access samples on audible.com using Internet Explorer, but have no problem accessing them when using FireFox. I see no reason not to have both browsers on your machine. It is very nice to know that you can easily try a second browser if one is giving you trouble. Also, the ability to automatically solve CAPTCHAs is extremely satisfying. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

[JAWS-Users] Fire Fox instead of Internet Explorer?
I am using Jaws 11 on an XP machine. So far I have stayed with Internet Explorer V7. Adobe Flash has been a problem for me. Some people, on another list, say, Flash is not a problem in Fire Fox. Have any of you tried Fire Fox? Are there Jaws keyboard commands for it?Has Flash troubled you by saying it needed to be installed, even though you had installed it on a previous occasion?

Not all electronic books are created equal in the site of the cyber gods. Kindle is a format not necessarily the same as other e-book formats. It is the old Betamax/VHS wars all over again. Same with Audio books. I am discovering that not all of our MP3 reading solutions, Victor Stream, Plextalk, Olympus DM4 so far tested give good access to all of the audio books they all claim to support. I expect the same is true with e-book readers. Is Epub the same format as Kindle? Are all titles available to ePub equivalent to those available to Kindle? Will we, the consumer ever actually get what we want or will we continue to accept and actually purchase what they, the providers insist we should have? And when will we, the blind, have access to the promise of universal accessibility that the printing press now four or more centuries ago gave seeing people who only needed to take the initiative to learn to read. The universality of binary 1s and 0s is being very deliberately subverted with the specific intent to limit who has access to written material. This is not the coincidental barriers of things like Adobe PDF but a deliberate restriction. Kindle will certainly hear from me on the subject but it is a message which requires far broader broadcast. This goes around and around and around.

The books (those which the publishers have allowed), are read using Text To Speech provided by Kindle. In the case of other books, the application is still accessible (menu and dialogs), but the books are not at all. The quality of this speech from the Text To Speech they provide and the lack of control leaves much to be desired.

Seems no matter when I send a tech support request, I invariably reach him. As I briefly mentioned in another recent post, when the JAWS 12 beta was initially released, I submitted a bug I found in the new Text Analyzer feature, using the recommended bug report form, and received a confirmation screen after submitting the bug, but the issue was never addressed and is still present in JAWS 12.0.522. I couldn't figure out any other way to reach FS with the steps in written form other than through tech support email. I've reproduced this bug on multiple machines, all with different hardware, on the same release of JAWS, so I don't feel it's something unique or specific to my environment. I provided clear steps to allow FS to reproduce this bug in both my original bug report and the tech support email. I finally receive a reply back today, after several days, again from Mr. Jackson, who now wants me to provide my JAWS serial and a phone number and time I can be reached, because this issue needs to be forwarded to the escalations team. Oh, so, the escalations team can't simply follow my steps to reproduce the bug? We've got to waste my time on the phone, where I can't easily record the call, so I've got no record of it, as opposed to being able to archive email? It's because I seem to end up with Mr. Jackson that I posted my question here about whether it's possible to use the 32-bit Microsoft SAPI 4 speech engine under 64-bit JAWS on 64-bit Vista SP2, because I figured I'd just receive his response without feedback from anyone else in tech support, and I wanted to make sure this wasn't perhaps just something odd under Vista which perhaps isn't a problem under Windows 7. Unfortunately, no one on the list has responded to the original post, which I did receive, so I must assume no one has any feedback to offer on that issue. I'm inclined, however, after the numerous tests I've run on this client's machine, to think that only 64-bit SAPI 4 speech engines will show up under the Detect SAPI 4 synthesizers option of 64-bit JAWS. Problem is, I've yet to find any free 64-bit SAPI 4 speech engines, and I personally haven't found any commercial known 64-bit SAPI 4 speech engines, so it would seem a moot point to even have the Detect SAPI 4 feature in 64-bit JAWS. At any rate, is there any way for me to reach anyone else in tech support besides Mr. Tracey Jackson, or is it just bad luck of the draw? -- -Greg Epley Thinkzo Systems Web: http://www.thinkzo.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com
Re: [JAWS-Users] Installing Braille display after Jaws
Hi Betsy, I'm trying to install my Powerbraille 40. Many years ago, when I got my laptop, I hooked up my Braille display from my Pac Mate to it. However, after my Braille Light died for the second time, I decided it was time to give up on it and make my Pack Mate take its place. To that end, I wanted to rehook up the USB Focus Braille display to its Pack Mate querty keyboard. This left my Laptop, with only USB connections, displayless. Thus, my struggles began with trying to figure out how to get my 16 year old, non-USB Power Braille to work with my laptop.

[JAWS-Users] Express Batch in Backround
Hi folks, I've check the openbook 8 Users Guide to no avail. The Freedomscientific web site also was of no use. I would like to start an express batch in background and have it read to me as it processes the pages. Even though the guide says we can do this, it does not make it clear, how to tell it to start reading, once the first few pages are ready to be read. It also doesn't tell us how to suspend scanning, when we've grown tiered of standing there turning the pages. Have any of you figured this out yet? If so, would you tell me how to do this?
