Keystrokes will be different for a laptop configuration. In the Hotkey Layout menu found under the ZoomText Application menu there is an option for explaining the keystroke differences between the desktop and laptop configurations. 1. With Fusion already opened move into the Fusion window either by using Alt with tab key or CTRL with caps lock and U. If using the mouse just double-click the Fusion item on the taskbar. 2. Click on the Reader tab at the top of the fusion window. If using the keyboard use CTRL with tab key until the Reader tab is in focus. Tab to the spin box where you can adjust the rate. Up and down arrow keys adjust one percentage at a time. 3. Use the OK button when the rate is where you want it. There are a couple ways to save the changes so that your new settings load each time you start Fusion. To save your changes as default settings: 1. Click on the ZoomText application menu button. If using the keyboard you can use up arrow until focus is on the tabs and use left arrow until you find the button. Use down arrow to open the menu. 2. Use down arrow to the configuration menu and then right arrow into the submenu. 3. Choose Save as Default from the submenu. 4. When you click or use the enter key on Save as Default you will be asked to confirm. Either click on Yes or tab to the Yes button and press spacebar. If you want Fusion to always save your changes you can do this by using the ZoomText application menu button again, using down arrow key to the Configuration menu, using right arrow into the submenu and pressing enter key on the Program option. Tab across this window and you will find a checkbox to save your settings automatically. Use spacebar to check it or click it with the mouse. Click OK. In the desktop configuration you can temporarily change rate of speech by holding down Alt key with caps lock key and pressing the up or down arrow key. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fusion question
Hi, I have Fusion, but for the time being, I am running JAWS and Zoomtext separately. This is because when I run Fusion from the logon screen, and even for the first time after a reboot, I am getting a "Comm Initialization Error" message, which is supposed to be fixed sometime this month, according to VFO. I would think that when you run Fusion, it would be using the same copy of JAWS as you use when you run JAWS by itself. Or are you running a different version of JAWS from prior to installing Fusion? By any chance, is Fusion running with the reader option in addition to the magnifier option, instead of running JAWS? Do you know how much memory you have? When I was trying to run Fusion on an older computer with 4 GB of memory and a slower processor, it was extremely slow. I am now on a PC with a faster processor and 8 GB of RAM, and Zoomtext and JAWS are running with better performance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] migrating to a different web browser
Adrian, I most definitely agree with you that the number of combinations we have to go through sometimes to get the results we need can be very frustrating, especially when it is necessary to get something done quickly. As you brought up, I had forgotten the need to sometimes go back to prior versions of JAWS to get something done.

People are suggesting that we should also have the two screenreaders, JAWS and NVDA, on board, which I do. But that means we may need to try six combinations before we can access certain websites. Then there's the question of which version of JAWS will work. To give an example, a certain website I use is accessible to IE11, but it moves painfully slowly after the log-in page. Chrome gets to this page right away, but later there's a critical page on this same website that Chrome can't even open. For a while, I was trying to access this website with Firefox, but Firefox couldn't locate the edit fields for the username and password fields, and so obviously I couldn't log in. Then, on a whim, I switched from JAWS 2018 and 18, which I already need to alternate between, to JAWS 17. Lo and behold, the edit fields appeared. After that, Firefox and JAWS 17 seem to move seamlessly through the entire website. This is a website that requires logging in to test, which is why I'm not posting the address. The amount of time and distraction involved for screenreader users in working on the Web lately is getting ludicrous. Maybe VFO's efforts to work with MS on Edge will bring us back to a single universal browser. Until then, the lives of screenreader users are complicated. My ambition is to work as fast on a computer as fast as a non-techy sighted user, but all this browser/screenreader/version number switching is an obstacle to fast, distraction-free browsing. I can't imagine what it's like for a new screenreader user. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Friday, February 23, 2018 4:23 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] migrating to a different web browser I use Chrome and IE 11 but have suspended using Firefox until accessibility issues are cleared up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS, ZoomText and Fusion question
Hi, So far, I have not found this to be the case. I have given up on Fusion for the time being, as it will not start up when I try to run it so it comes up at the logon screen. I get a "Comm Initialization Error", which is supposed to to be fixed in an update coming out next month. For now, I am running JAWS and ZoomText separately. Even running it this way, the latest ZoomText crashes on average twice a day. Sometimes I have to reboot to get it started again, and sometimes I can just restart ZoomText. I am hoping the next update will also fix this issue. Do you have issues with ZoomText crashing? I am on Windows 7, 64-bit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] ZoomText Fusion List
Yes, I have noticed the lack of tracking more on websites than when I am in a document. The other thing I am noticing when running JAWS 18 and ZT 11.7 together is that sometimes if I am in notepad, for example, JAWS will read words from other windows I have open, mixing those with what is actually in the notepad file. If I alt-tab out of the window and back in, and/or maximize the window again, this temporarily clears up. I will probably need to call VFO again. I wanted to see how things were running for a few days before I call them again. I haven't tried using Fusion again since I last talked to them.

I am running Windows 10 and all appears to be working as it should... mostly. Here is how I have my ZoomText Fusion configured: Only JAWS starts when I start my computer. When I want the magnification portion of Fusion to be launched, I press Control+Alt+Shift+Z. I have both JAWS and ZoomText run from the system tray and the ZoomText window starts minimized. Because for now the individual components of ZoomText are updated independently, I am running JAWS 2018 and Fusion 11.7. In fact, if you have not updated to version 11.7 of Fusion, this may help. The reason I say that all is "mostly" working as it should is because I have found that I can not use the screen feature of JAWS 2018 if magnification is enabled, and of course this makes perfect sense. I hope some of my configuration info was of at least some help.

For cases in which this command doesn't work, I made a .cmd file that forces killing of all JAWS processes and then run a certain specified JAWS version. To do this, create a text file with the following content and save it with extension .bat or .cmd: taskkill /im jfw* /f taskkill /im fs* /f start /b JAWSnn pause In the Start command, nn is the JAWS version number as you would enter into the Run dialog, for example 17 or 18. You can save this file anywhere, then create a shortcut to this file in your Desktop and assign it a hotkey in its properties. This type of file lets you run a series of commands as if you enter each command into a Command Prompt window and then press ENTER. The /f parameter in the Taskkill command is the same as ending a process directly from Task Manager's Processes (Windows 7 or earlier) or Details (Windows 8 and newer) tab. If this parameter is not included, it is the same as closing the program windows or using the End Task button, that is, send a message for the program to close and wait to save data or any other operation the program usually do when closed. The * in names is to include multiple processes into a single command. The Start command, with the /b parameter, allows to launch something by specifying the string you would type in the Run (WINDOWS+R) dialog, in this case the JAWS version of interest. Finally, the Pause command, although not required, prevents the Command Prompt window from being closed, displaying a “Press any key to continue” message instead. This is useful to see the otput, for example, in case the file is not working properly.

I am using windows ten the most current version of jaws on a 64 bit all in one computer. The problem I am having is there a shortcut for moving from link to link without having to use the arrow keys. I know for headers I just push the letter H and I move from header to header. So I assumed the letter L would do the same thing moving from link to link. If someone can tell me what need to do for moving from link to link it would be greatly appreciated. The other minor issue is when I open an email using Outlook 2016 I used to just push the down arrow at the top of the document and it would read the email This also is a problem with word and text documents.

[JAWS-Users] keyboard focus not changing when form is launched in excel 2013
Hi, I've got a user form in excel 2013 that is launched when I press a keystroke. The keyboard focus isn't being moved to the user form when it is launched. It stays in the current worksheet. I have to press alt + tab to move away from Excel and alt + tab to come back and put the focus into my user form. If I don't do that then when I press enter, it is passed through to the worksheet rather than activating the search button on my form. Is there any easy way to fix this? I am using VBA so can use that to make any changes. I have noticed this behaviour with both jaws 16 and 17.

[JAWS-Users] Accessible rich edit control in VBA and Excel 2013
Hi, I'm using JAWS with Excel 2013 and VBA. I want to be able to display text in a rich text edit control on a user form in Excel 2013. At the moment, I have to copy text into wordpad to get it to format correctly. If I paste it into notepad, any line breaks are ignored. Once I've made any changes, I copy the text back into my spreadsheet. The standard text box control in Excel also messes up the line breaks when saving text back into my spreadsheet and it's not very accessible with JAWS. Can you suggest an accessible rich edit control I could use and how I can add it to my VBA project?

Re: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and menu bar problem
Gerald, I suggest you pass your information to tech support at Freedom Scientific. When I contacted them a few months ago, they said Jaws 9 does not support I.E. 8. It's fine to have your anecdotal information, but I don't think you're in a position to make a claim different of that of F.S. At 09:56 AM 5/11/2011, you wrote: I hate to keep sounding like a broken record, but IE 8 works just fine with JAWS 9. The key is that you must have the latest build of JAW 9 which is 2191U. IE 8 will not work with earlier builds of JAWS 9. Maybe the folks who claim that IE 8 doesn't work with JAWS 9 did not have the latest build installed. The only JAWS feature that does not work is read Address Bar (JAWS key-A), which is really no big deal.

Hey listers, I am dealing with a new Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. First problem I noticed was that Narrator, although loaded, does not speak. Second problem is there was no speech during the installation of JAWS 12 from a DVD. All I heard was the waves sloshing against the beach. Which is nice, but hardly worth the money. Anyway, Jaws is loaded, but no speech. I do have Windows system sounds, and audio CDs and Internet streams play fine.

I know there are those of you who are using this combination, and I'm glad you're having good luck with it. I guess I'll roll back to I.E. 7 for the time being.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and windows live!
Don, I wish I could be more help to you. I am using WLM on both my XP and Window7 computers. It works identically on both. As for screen resolution, my XP machine here at work is set at 1152 by 864 pixels. I'm sure my Windows7 home machine is roughly the same. If you'd like, I'd be more than happy to get with you on skype, and possibly compare settings, ETc. Good luck and God bless you, Bles the Lord O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

If anyone is interested, I copied the JAWS 10 scripts for Windows Live Mail to the JAWS 11 user settings directory and recompiled. JAWS 11 still will not function correctly for me. What screen resolution do you have set on the system that works reasonably well?

However, I just did a insert plus Q and heard that Microsoft Widnows Live Mail Version 14 settings are loaded, so, I assume there are prepackaged scripts with JAWS. -- From: "Donald Marang" Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 10:38 AM To: Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and windows live! Does that mean you deleted the "Windows Live Mail" scripts in the shared directory that are shipped with JAWS? I have no user scripts loaded. I have considered copying the JAWS 10 scripts to the JAWS 11 user directory. Not usually advised, but easy to reverse if it makes matters worse. It would make life easier if I did not need to switch back and forth!

Hello Don, I certainly understand your frustrations, however, I experience none of those issues. I don't have any scripts loaded, and read the header fields by tabbing through them. Perhaps, uninstalling JAWS scripts, then uninstalling and re-installing Windows Live Mail may improve it's performance. It has a couple of minor quirks, but, after trying several different clients, I chose it because I could sync all my email accounts with my Windows Live email account. Each email program I tried had one quirk or the other, so, I find WLM is the best compromise for my needs. I hope you are able to get better performance from it, but, I would never suggest that it is the best, or easiest, just my personal preference.

Using JAWS 11 latest with Windows Live Mail, I can move between folders all works well. It will announce unread and attachment when appropriate, all is well. However, if I hit Enter on a message to read the message, it will read only about 50% of the time. Most of the time, the Delete key will announce "delete" but do nothing. Even using Control + D, I can only read a couple of messages before it stops reading correctly and nothing I do short of unloading and starting JAWS again will it start reading again. If I attempt to compose a message it gets confused regarding Forms Mode, and again sometimes, the only way to get it right again is to restart JAWS. These issues make it unusable for me! Strangely, the scripts that came with JAWS 10 work much better for me! Of course, there are also minor issues with both 10 and 11. The address autocomplete name does not get announced. The number of unread messages are not announced as you arrow through the folders. The last thing I remember off the top of my head is that the hotkeys Alt + 1 through Alt + 3 do not work to read those header fields to read the From, Date, and To fields. Using Alt + 6 to read the Subject is the only such header info that reads reliably.

I am fairly sure that Windows Live Mail will not work well with JAWS 8 since I do not think Live existed at the time. I have had the best luck using JAWS 10 with Windows Live Mail! In fact, I have been switching from JAWS 11 back to JAWS 10 just to read mail and then switching back to JAWS 11 for everything else. FS claims an update is imminent. I hope it fixes this issue.
