[JAWS-Users] Controlling Which Dialect Jaws Speaks
I have Jaws 9 and 17. When I am reading a Spanish web page, Jaws automatically detects the change of language, speaking in Castilian Spanish. But I live in Guatemala, Latin America! I don't really care for the Castilian dialect. Is there a way to change the default dialect when Spanish is detected? --- I am, therefore I think.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Downgrading to JAWS 16
I've still got JAWS version 9 running on this Windows XP machine, along with Microsoft Word 2003 and Outlook Express. I also have a Windows 7 laptop with JAWS 17 instaled. But sadly, on that computer, JAWS seems to get stuck and has to restart itself rather more frequently than I like. I can tell you, that makes for some very anxious moments when speech stops and will not restart. My advice is, do what you need to, in order for you to do your job. If a newer version would give you better productivity, by all means upgrade it if you can. In my case, if I want to use Windows 7, I have to use the later JAWS version. But after several attempts to fully upgrade, I only use that system as a backup. Conversely, if you find that a piece of software isn't helping you, and you're spending time trying to force it to perform its function, it's best to go to an earlier version or try another program. This is why I use the fine port someone made of Outlook Express to Windows 7. Why? because other email programs (and believe me, I've tried many) don't meet the requirements which OE has met for all these years. --- I am, therefore I think.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Excel Column Headings
Hey Steven, I did some more digging in the Jaws Keyboard manager. Just to get the record straight, I use Jaws version 9.0 and Microsoft Excel and Word 2003.

Alt plus shift plus C. but in the Microsoft Word JKM file the keystroke is alt plus jaws key plus shift plus C. now the strange part. When I tried it in Excel, it wouldn't give me the column title.

[JAWS-Users] Eloquence, Pauses, and some pronunciation adjustments that I like
Good morning. Oh, the beauties of switching to newer software! some benefits, but also difficulties that I hadn't expected.

Jaws keeps running through the sentences without any pauses. I have my punctuation set to None; would that have a bearing? Maybe you can help solve this riddle. For the record, here are some of my favorite pronunciation fixes. Maybe they'll help you with some nagging pronounced errors that you keep hearing.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws, Braille, and Print Newline Indication
Hello to all. Is there a way to force Jaws to handle print newline characters differently? I do a great amount of proofreading using braille, and it's a constant source of annoyance to me that many times, the braille display isn't used to its fullest potential. Many times, the first part of the print line is shown nicely on the display, but the latter part only takes up a very small amount of the cells. Also, lists are repetitive to navigate. For example, when reading this list: IMPRESSION: 1. Asthma. 2. COPD. 3. Chronic back pain. 4. Migraine headaches In that example, I have to press the Next button on the braille display four times in order to get that little bit of information, because Jaws wraps the braille line to the end of the current print line. Does anyone know of any script that I could use to indicate the newline character by a special braille symbol? Or if there are any skilled scripters out there, I'd be happy to pay for such a script. In my above example, let's say that the newline character is indicated on the braille display as "space L with dot 7 space" making the list look like this: IMPRESSION: symbol 1. Asthma. symbol 2. COPD. symbol 3. Chronic back pain. symbol 4. Migraine headaches Any help is greatly appreciated. I use Jaws 9 or 17, depending on the computer I'm running at the time.

You could post the explanation, and I'm sure someone would have a good answer. I can think of lots of reasons why you could have difficulty, beginning with the "save" process to locating the file in the download folder to knowing if it's an executable file. I don't want to speculate because this post would get very long. FYI, it's my understanding that people prefer to save online files rather than run them for two reasons. Andy gave you one-the ability to use it again. The other is that people sometimes encounter problems when running from an online site. My own practice various according to the website and my plans. I will run an Acrobat Reader update from the website because it will be easy to find again and installation always goes smoothly. However, I save current JAWS releases because I'll need the current one if I ever have to do a repair.

In general, to do a clean install of an antivirus program you need to download and run a removal tool from that program's web site. Of course, they don't want you to remove their product, so they don't make the process easy. For example, you may have to solve a CAPTCHA to access or run the tool.

He told me that he hid the Windows10 installation icon. I asked how long will the icon stay hidden and he said for a few days.

As I stated earlier, despite my best efforts, the "Get Windows 10" message re-appeared on my home Windows 7 computer once again late this afternoon. Admittedly, I did not install the GWX control panel program software that a few had suggested, because I was a little leary of putting new software on my computer without really knowing what I was doing. Anyway, having spent far too many hours on this needlessly-created issue so far, I decided to call the Microsoft Accessibility Hotline for assistance. It turns out that somehow, the "get windows 10" message, and associated files had been installed on my computer in several different locations. It took the accessibility specialist a full hour to get everything properly uninstalled and operating as it should. I couldn't tell for sure, but I even think the accessibility specialist was getting frustrated at several points. I used this situation as an opportunity to let her know in no uncertain terms that Microsoft is not making any friends among blind computer users who are being harassed repeatedly with the "get windows 10" message, and that I would hope this could somehow be taken into consideration. I am sure, as someone else pointed out, this complaint and my situation will not mean diddley to Microsoft. But, I would urge anyone with this issue to contact the Accessibility Hotline, rather than trying to go it alone with only frustration as the end result.

Due to the configuration of some newer websites with maybe too many graphics--just making a guess--is there just no way to be able to use buttons and therefore the inability to complete tasks on these sites without sighted help? I truly hope there's an answer and that it's not impossible to use these sites independently. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: Drag and drop ...
I like Brian too. Basically what he offers are bundles of scripts. One problem with his approach is that whenever there is a new version of JAWS these scripts are often broken and the user has to wait for him to update them. His stuff does work, and I do not begrudge him charging for his work, as script writing takes time and effort.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Problem completing a privacy agreement screen on an HR portal commonly used in job applications
I do not know about this site in particular, but I have noticed that JAWS 16 does not always recognize controls such as check boxes. Generally when you can't get a button to activate, it's because something further up the page has not been done, like checking a box or entering certain info. I had this problem with JAWS and IE 11 on the ESPN fantasy football site, and it turned out that there was a check box that neither JAWS or Window Eyes was reading, and I had to get a pair of eyeballs to check it with the mouse.

I realize I rarely post on the JAWS users list, but I'm helping a family member apply for online jobs and have run into an issue with one of the big online candidate profile sites that I think could be JAWS related. The issue is with People Answers. People Answers (http://www.peopleanswers.com) is a Website that companies use to host online assessments and questionnaires for job candidates. When I log in to the site to begin a job assessment from an employer using this portal, I'm forwarded to a page asking me to scroll through an agreement and click "I Agree" to except it. When I scroll through the agreement, JAWS reads, "I Agree button unavailable" and "I do not agree unavailable." The sighted person I'm working with says the button is grayed out, and she can't click on "I Agree." I've scrolled through the entire agreement at least three times this evening using Internet Explorer; I also tried this page under Mozilla Firefox with the same result. I've had similar issues with this portal in the past. So far, I've only gotten this button to populate correctly twice, and both times it's taken me an hour to scroll through the information on the agreement multiple times. The agreement itself consists of two sections: a privacy statement and terms of use. Both have separate links to allow you to open and print the privacy statement and terms of service, then close the page to return to the application. I've had to open and close the page multiple times to get the "I agree" buttons to populate correctly. This evening, I was unable to do so at all after scrolling to the bottom of the page at least three times under Internet Explorer 11 and once under Mozilla Firefox 40. I'm using JAWS 16, build 4350 with a 64-bit PC running Windows 10. I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with this online job portal and has any solutions to this. Thanks in advance. Chris.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Leasey with JAWS
Keep in mind that because Leasey is based on JAWS scripts, whenever there is a major JAWS upgrade the program will be broken until he updates it. This can also happen if the programs that it supports are upgraded, such as a new version of MS Word, etc. I believe that he charges for periodic updates, so this will be another ongoing expense.

It also speaks when I first tab to the message body from the subject

This did not happen with the previous JFW 16.0 build, and I checked with

This string is different for each message created whether new from

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Opinions: Windows Live Mail or Outlook 2010
If the person is just wanting to do Email at home, WLM is more than up to the job. However if the person already has MS Office, then he or she has a choice. I think that the user experience for WLM and the Email component of outlook is very similar once you get Outlook configured. In fact, in some respects it is easier. One example is that first letter navitgation does not work in WLM for navigating among folders or moving messages among folders, but it does in Outlook. Another advantage is that you can sync your Outlook Emails with Email on a smart phone or tablet. I believe that this also works for calendars and contact lists. One thing that is easier in WLM is to save the senders of Email messages into your contacts.

Is there a difference that matters to a user" working at home and not on a network?

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Emptying IE History without losing Cookies
Personally, I have never found cookies to be a problem, and I just leave them alone.

In the tools tab, there is an option for cookies. When selected, this option will show you all of the cookies that are on your machine, and you can select the ones you don't want deleted. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Trish Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 10:17 To: Jaws Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Emptying IE History without loosing Cookies I just spoke to my credit union bank about the fact that when I delete the IE history, it also removes cookies that my bank requires I have in order to id my computer. When on the rare occasion I have deleted the history, and then tried to log back into my bank, I get a pop up from the bank that basically is trying to id my computer since the cookie has been removed. I have done all the necessary steps to register my computer for the bank, and this works just fine as long as I do not remove the IE history.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Emptying IE History without losing Cookies
It is a dialogue with check boxes. You can delete what you want and leave the rest alone, but if you choose to delete cookies, you will lose all of them.
