[JAWS-Users] updating the newest patch and moving on to 14 when it is released down the road.

[brad]

What truly stinks is that my vr councelor did not purchase the S M A where I
can get jaws 14 and this is upsetting.  To tell you the truth, I cannot even
update jaws 13.825 because after it downloads it states that I have to make
some fixes that are difficult to make.

[JAWS-Users] VLc media player

[brad]

Has anyone had any experience using VLc media player?  My sister thinks I
would enjoy the software but we are not sure if jaws will support it.  I am
using Jaws 13.825 and my computer is a fujitsu and I am running windows 7.
If you use or have used VLC media player, which version would be more
beneficial with jaws.  2.1 is the latest version.

[JAWS-Users] cdex

[brad]

I am runnin the most recent version of cdex and I am helping a friend to use
the same program as I.  When I was introduced, a friend showed me how to
make sure that any cd I extracted, went directly into a music folder where I
could then move it to any location I wanted.  Because he was so quick at the
computer, I am not able to take what he did and help my friend to do the
same thing.  We have had difficulties locating the first cd she extracted.
Would anyone know where I can find what she extracted and furthermore, would
anyone know how  to set it up where when she extracted a cd, that it would
extract to a folder she wanted it to go.

[JAWS-Users] large PDF file

[brad]

I am on our home owners association and every month the management company
sends me this 165 page progress report and it is in a PDF format.  I can
read bits of the document but it runs real slow.  I also seem to get held up
on turning pages at times.  I can navigate using the alt key but it gets
very time consumeing.  I was wondering if someone can send me a list of key
commands that would make it easier for me to swim through this document
rather then being weighed down by cement boots.  

 

I am using jaws 13 with windows 7 and adobe 10.  If anything, could anyone
from this list e-mail me privately and give me instruction if I send them
this 165 page report to use as an example?  It might help me grasp it more
easily.

Good luck with that, Brad.  I don't like the way Adobe handles largish
documents, it seems to choke and take forever.  You can go into preferences
and tell it to only convert portions of the document as you go.

If you have a few Benjamin's lying around, avail yourself of Open Book or
Kurzweil.  You can use the Freedom Import or Kurzweil Virtual Printer
respectively.  Just open the .pdf document, issue the print command and
select whichever one is applicable as your printer.

The disadvantage to reading docs in Adobe like that, is any table conversion
doesn't work all that well.  You have to be able to do a bit of mental
interpolation.

There's also the issue of whether the pdf was made accessibly or not. 
(it takes much longer to resove/OCR a poorly formatted pdf.) If people are
referring to pages while discussing the pdf, then you can use the Go to Page
Feature in Adobe Reader - ctrl-shift-n, and then type the page number and
press enter.

[JAWS-Users] windows 7 layout

[brad]

I am using windows 7 with jaws 13 and it is easy for me to use the functions
of windows 7.  I have a friend that is using windows 7 and jaws 12 but she
seems to have different features and screens seem to be layed out
differently.  She is having difficulties. With the layout.  For Instance,
When she goes into the control panel, it is layed out much like a a webpage
while, for me, it does the same but I can use first letter navigation.  

 

My question is Does windows 7 have to be in a different mode or classic mode
for her to navigate its operating system more easily.  Are there some
settings that she needs to change so she can have her computer set up either
like mine or a person that can easily use windows 7.  She is willing to
learn windows 7, but, at the same time, is getting frustrated and wants to
go back to XP.  How can I help her?

go into control panel, tab to appearances and personalization, and enter on

now tab to task bar and start menu.   and enter on it.
now control tab to start menu tab, go to "customize", scroll down to
"control panel", and instead of "display as a link" check "display as a

[JAWS-Users] jaws 11, braille displays work upgrades and help needed

I am forwarding this onto the list for a friend.  Can anyone help?

Subject: Hey, can you post this to the jaws list for me? Thanks and have an
awesome day!

 

Recently, I have had an upgrade to my systems at my place of employment. For
the longest time, we used JAWS 7 because it worked the best with our
proprietary systems. Now after the upgrade, it has become necessary to use
JAWS 11. JAWS 11 is the highest that our license allows us to utilize at
this time.

I am also using a focus 80 Braille display. My question is this. Since
upgrading to 11, I am noticing that every time I go in to an application
such as email or the application needed to update a customer's address and
phone number there is unnecessary information all the way to the left hand
side of my display. For instance while in E-mail the left side of the
display will show the word "inbox." I'd like to get rid of this information.
It takes up room on the display, and for the work I do it is not needed. I
have tried turning off Flash messages completely, and have changed many of
the verbosity settings with no success. Any suggestions to fix this problem
would be appreciated.

Also JAWS 11 tends to speak a lot of unnecessary information as well. Each
time I move from screen to screen JAWS will say "secure connection." Is
there a way to turn some of this chatter off?

Thank you in advance

[JAWS-Users] alphabetizing music files

[brad]

Hello 

I am new to the list and it has been a long time since I used a computer.  I
am using CDEX to extract my CDs and put them in a music file on the
computer.  I am most of the way done but it seems that each artist is placed
in reverse alphabetical order.  How can I fix this problem?  I would like it
to be in the correct order.

 

I am using windows 7 and Jaws 13.  CDEX is 1.7.

[JAWS-Users] CDEX 1.7

[brad]

I have some CDs in my collection that are too corrupted or scratched to
extract to the computer.  I am to the understanding that CDEX has a fix for
that.  In fact I understand that there is an entire directory of music and
albums to where if a CD cannot upload, you are able to download it from
their directory.  How do you do this?

[JAWS-Users] winamp and playing more then one song

[brad]

First thanks to all that helped with cdex.

 

I have placed all my music files in my c drive under music.  I also linked
up winamp so I can play such music.  I figured out that if I select all
music on the album, then I can play multiple tracks.  I want to create a
play list though and wanted to know if someone can walk me through how to do
such.  I would also like to know how to pull up the music files directly in
Winamp without typing the long drawn out file name.  it is quite easy to do
such in windows explorer but not in winamp.  Any other tidbits would be
greatly appreciated.  

 

Thanks again.

Hi Brad. I am using a fairly old version of Winamp but here is how I make 
playlists.
If I want to play more than one track at a time, I open Winamp then press 
letter L then shif-tab in to the folder where my songs are located. Select 
the ones you want then press Enter and they should start playing.
If you want to create a playlist, you might press Alt+E then control+tab to 
open the playlist editor.
Press letter L to add tracks to the playlist. Add as many tracks as you like

even if they reside in different folders. You can move from folder to folder

using either shift+L or just backspacing to the various folders. You can 
then save the playlist with control+S.
Note: you can obtain a list of winamp keystrokes specifically for the 
playlist editor by pressing insert+W while in the playlist editor.
Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] Line lengths

[Brad Dunse]

I am a freelance writer and have need to limit the length of lines via
characters, not by way of word wrap unless it put a hard return at the end.

 

I was told; years ago screen readers had a feature where you could set a
tone to play once you reached a settable character length. Similar to the
old typewriter  margin bell prior to the end of the carriage.

 

Does anyone know of a Jaws feature or a script that might allow this?

 

I don't know if it occurred when typing or when passing over the line, but
both instances would be good.

 

Thanks.

yes. the feature was reintroduced or revamped. it's known as "indicate

do a search for new line or indicate new line. It speaks the new line as 
you type and/or edit, either or both. In Microsoft word, you might want 
to justify your lines - ctr+j does this to both right and left.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Volume control shortcut fixed

[Brad Dunse]

Okay. I wasn't sure since it isn't a Jaws thing per se, but I'll post it due
to interest and future  post inquiries.

Windows 7 Volume Control Shortcut

1. Right click on an empty area on the desktop. Point Jaws cursor between
icons and hit the apps key or right click.

2. Go to New, and right arrow  to Shortcut. Press enter.

3. In the location area, paste in: 

%windir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 49825268

Tab to the next button and press enter

4. In the name area, highlight the text that is there, clear it, and type in
Volume, or whatever you want to name it. Tab to and press on the Finish
button.

Now if you want a shortcut key to the desktop icon, do the following.

1. Focus on the newly named volume icon.

2. Press CTRL Enter to pull up the properties window

3. Tab to the shortcut area and press something like CTRL Shift V, or
whatever hot key you want.

4. Tab to the OK button, and that's it.

If you want to rid the ding ding ding when adjusting, you can set your
Windows default sound to none by: 

1. Go to Sound in your control panel or type sound in the search box and
arrow to it.

2. Go to the sounds tab.

3. Tab until you find the list of events which sounds are assigned and fine
Windows default.

4. Tab again until you get to the wound assigned and then press the home key
or arrow to "none" at the top.

5. Tab to OK and hit enter. Wala!

properties of the Jaws 13 icon still shows Control+Alt+J as the hot key

In the past assigning a key stroke to a newer version would override the 
old
setting.  This is not a big deal but I am wondering if this new scenario 
is

what FS expected. t

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory

[Brad Keller]

The first thing I would do is reboot the pc. It sounds like your memory is 
getting full. IF you haven't rebooted in a while than now is agood time. If 
this isn't the problem than the player your using to listen to the stream 
may not be freeing up memory as needed. If this is the case next time just 
try closing the program and restarting it.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory



Hi,

I am using windows XP with 3 GB ram with latest Jaws 12.

I was listening live to a NFL football game today on my computer when I 
heard a sound, but it didn't sound like the sound you get  with a fatal 
error.


I lost Jaws and my wife told me that the screen stated a message low on 
virtual memory. She closed the screen and after that I got another message 
something to do with bector and Internet explorer 8 for which I have no 
idea what that means.


I don't recall any other problems with IE8 and I had only the home page of 
the radio station and a second page for the audio opened. For what it is 
worth, here is the URL of the radio station. When I got the page, I 
pressed enter on listen live.


http://www.espn980.com/

Does anyone have any idea what caused the error and what should I do? Even 
after my wife got me back to the desktop, Jaws was stilll not talking. So, 
I aborted Jaws (insert key+Windows key+F4) and use the shortcut key to 
bring back Jaws.


Any help and suggestions will greatly be appreciated. Take care.

Lennie

[JAWS-Users] Excel region naming/Reading

[Brad Dunse']

According to Jaws the old method of setting titles for columns and 
rows to be read with Insert CTRL ALT R and C respectively, is not 
recommended in lieu of using region names within Excel itself. The 
question I have then is, when is when two or more rows hold the 
text  for column titles, how is it defined? The Jaws training on 
reading titles does not address this. It can be done in the old 
manual way by highlighting the rows and setting them. I'd tried every 
conceivable way of doing this including making two separate name 
definitions, one for rows and one for columns.  I can get 
the  columnns to read with multiple rows   for the title area that 
way, but then the row title  in column A does not read.


Thanks.

[JAWS-Users] Alternate vioce

[Brad Dunse']

There use to be an option to press Alt Insert Down Arrow to read 
with an alternate voice such as SAPI instead of your default 
Elequence, or vice versa. Did they change the hot key or eliminate 
the option all together? I'd not seen any reference to it in the 
settings unless I've missed it. It was nice to just quickly read 
using an alternate voice on some things without changing the reading 
profile. I'd not seen this option since V11 I think.

OK well then I must not have something set correct. But where it is, 
is the issue. I can find no place to set the synthesizer for Say

one of the SAPI voices in the latter. But  my choice is to set either 
one of those as defaultin the first combo box and then the second 
combo box is for default for the particular application I launch the 
voice profile from. . Currently Elequence is for both so it ought 
be  switching to the Sapi voice with ALT Insert Down arrow, but it doesn't.
 Unless I'm missing it, it would be helpful to have 
synthesizer/voice options in the settings manager, as some of the 
settings are scattered about making it unsure where to find some of them.

Voice Adjustment
Say All Group Box
JAWS can immediately switch from one synthesizer, for example, 
Eloquence Software, to another, such as SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo 
Direct, when using the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW). While 
the default Eloquence voice may be useful for reading and navigating 
short text such as prior or next line, sentence, or paragraph, it 
may not be the preferred voice for longer passages of text. The SAPI 
5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct voice chosen remains active during the 
Say All even as you fast forward, rewind, speed up, or slow down. 
However, when you stop the Say All, the Eloquence voice returns.


Use the following controls in the Say All group to set preferences 
for how the Say All command works.


Speech Synthesizer
Use this combo box to select the synthesizer used for Say All. 
Select either Default, SAPI 5, or RealSpeak Solo Direct. When using 
Default, all other controls in the Say All group are unavailable. 
Also, note that RealSpeak Solo Direct is only available if you have 
downloaded and installed a RealSpeak Solo Direct voice.


If the Say All synthesizer is Default, then either SAPI 5 or 
RealSpeak Solo Direct will be used for an Alternate Say All 
(ALT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW). If either SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct 
is selected, the Default synthesizer is used for Alternate Say All.


Rate
Use this slider to select a comfortable speech rate for the Say All 
voice. PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP change the rate of speech by larger 
increments, while the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys make more gradual changes.


Punctuation
Use this list to set the punctuation level used by JAWS when the Say 
All voice speaks. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to select a 
punctuation level. The options available are None, Some, Most, which 
is the default, and All.


Person
The Person combo box lets you to select which SAPI 5 or RealSpeak 
Solo Direct synthesizer voice to use for Say All.


Pitch
The Pitch slider allows you to adjust the pitch for the currently 
selected voice. Note that some SAPI5 and RealSpeak Solo Direct 
synthesizers do not support pitch change like Eloquence and some 
other hardware and software synthesizers.


Volume
Use the slider to increase or decrease the Say All speech volume. 
The DOWN ARROW , LEFT ARROW, and PAGE DOWN keys decrease volume, and 
the UP ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, and PAGE UP keys increase volume.


OK
This button saves any changes made and then closes the Voice 
Adjustment dialog box. This button is not available when changes are

Choose this button to save your current voice settings as part of a 
voice profile. Type a name for your voice profile or select an 
existing profile from the list. If you select an existing profile, 
that profile's individual voice settings will be overwritten by the 
new settings when you choose OK.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Alternate vioce

On second  thought perhaps this is it? I don't have a Real Speak Solo 
voice installed but rather the SAPI 5 from Win7 OS. Do you think Jaws 
is not recognizing it as a full option for toggling a say all? If I 
set it in the Voice Profile I can use it as a default, it just does 
not change on the fly. Also I've got Real Speak Sapi voices from 
earlier Jaws which came on a CD, that ought install fine I'd thinnk.

It seems pretty consistent if I shut it all down via "End Program" 
and end the process as well, a couple three times, it then wil open 
up the options. I have it defaulting  to my email attachment 
directory where the newspapers come in so not like it's trying to 
scan my entire computer. And I had waited as well to see if it is 
populating or buffering the books to show, but that didn't seem to 
help. I should have mentioned I am using Win7 64 bit. At least I know 
I'm not the only one with an issue, so perhaps it is a systemic issue 
beyond my /our system.

I experience the same behavior with this program running in Windows7.  It

On one of them it simply crashes and won't open the book at all.  I've
re-downloaded the book several times thinking that it was corrupted during
the download, but I'm convinced that the problem is either with the book
it's self, or FS Reader.

Strange. I've done/had all that but Alt Insert Down arrow still 
produces nothing. I'm downloading some Real Speak voices to see if 
that will make a difference,Probably not.  If not I'll live without 
it, it's not worth un-reinstaling Jaws and redoing all the settings. 
Part of this issue's origin is non-transferrable settings from

Ok mystery solved but still weird. I've always used the left alt key 
for this combination, I'd be curious what you use. Jaws is not 
recognizing the left alt key in these key combos. The alt key works 
by itself and with other non-Jaws key combination hot keys I've set 
up for apps and such, but it will not work for this or other Jaws 
features. It does work with the right alt key. Additionally I do not 
have "differentiate between left and right paired keys" set  in the

is, is the issue. I can find no place to set the synthesizer for 
Say All  as the help described in the Settings Manager. Are we 
talkking in the Jaws menus/Options/Voices area? Or the voice

hsow Elequnce and one of the SAPI voices in the latter. But  my

is for both so it ought be  switching to the Sapi voice with ALT

 Unless I'm missing it, it would be helpful to have

Voice Adjustment
Say All Group Box
JAWS can immediately switch from one synthesizer, for example, 
Eloquence Software, to another, such as SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo 
Direct, when using the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW). While 
the default Eloquence voice may be useful for reading and 
navigating short text such as prior or next line, sentence, or 
paragraph, it may not be the preferred voice for longer passages 
of text. The SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct voice chosen remains 
active during the Say All even as you fast forward, rewind, speed 
up, or slow down. However, when you stop the Say All, the 
Eloquence voice returns.


Use the following controls in the Say All group to set preferences 
for how the Say All command works.


Speech Synthesizer
Use this combo box to select the synthesizer used for Say All. 
Select either Default, SAPI 5, or RealSpeak Solo Direct. When 
using Default, all other controls in the Say All group are 
unavailable. Also, note that RealSpeak Solo Direct is only 
available if you have downloaded and installed a RealSpeak Solo Direct voice.


If the Say All synthesizer is Default, then either SAPI 5 or 
RealSpeak Solo Direct will be used for an Alternate Say All 
(ALT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW). If either SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct 
is selected, the Default synthesizer is used for Alternate Say All.


Rate
Use this slider to select a comfortable speech rate for the Say 
All voice. PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP change the rate of speech by 
larger increments, while the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys make 
more gradual changes.


Punctuation
Use this list to set the punctuation level used by JAWS when the 
Say All voice speaks. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to select a 
punctuation level. The options available are None, Some, Most, 
which is the default, and All.


Person
The Person combo box lets you to select which SAPI 5 or RealSpeak 
Solo Direct synthesizer voice to use for Say All.


Pitch
The Pitch slider allows you to adjust the pitch for the currently 
selected voice. Note that some SAPI5 and RealSpeak Solo Direct 
synthesizers do not support pitch change like Eloquence and some 
other hardware and software synthesizers.


Volume
Use the slider to increase or decrease the Say All speech volume. 
The DOWN ARROW , LEFT ARROW, and PAGE DOWN keys decrease volume, 
and the UP ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, and PAGE UP keys increase volume.


OK
This button saves any changes made and then closes the Voice 
Adjustment dialog box. This button is not available when changes 
are made to any factory default voice profile template. You must 
use the Save As button to save any changes made to a factory template.


Save As
Choose this button to save your current voice settings as part of

SORRY TO HEAR THAT it's not working for you.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIMENT WITH jaws settings, you don't need to
reinstall  it from scratch. Just make a copy of your user settings folder on
another drive and copy it back if needed. If you want to start from defaults
just delete the contents of the user settings folder. Don't forget to have
copy of it somewhere before changing or deleting.

If you want your voice profiles setting stored, just copy
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\jaws version\Settings\VoiceProfiles.INI

If you don't feel comfortable with this, just relax and let it as it is.

Strange. I've done/had all that but Alt Insert Down arrow still produces
nothing. I'm downloading some Real Speak voices to see if that will make a

un-reinstaling Jaws and redoing all the settings. Part of this issue's

Regions and Language settings for the keyboard shows US English but 
good  thought. What is strange is, the left ALT key works in every 
other situation I've tried, plus  this: if you go into help 
mode  with insert 1, and press Insert + rightAlt key + down arrow, 
Jaws help tells you it will read in an alternative voice. If however, 
you press insert + leftAlt + down arrow, it says nothing. Conversely, 
if you press insert, + either right or left alt key, + "s" key for 
instance, the result is the same, gives you the voice profile 
box,  or help if in help mode. So it appears it is a Jaws issue 
specific to that hot key combination somehow rather than a keyboard 
or settings issue. I'd not found it an issue anywhere else.  I can

Thanks yes that would work. I can stil use the Insert+RightALT 
+DownArrow key combo for the alternative voice as I need it, it isn't 
so much a user inconvenience issue though I'd prefer the LeftAlt key 
to work, it is more trying to find out why the alt key isn't working 
in that situation. I may run into other issues if there's a bad 
install or the like. It is interesting after the "ctrl+f to find 
specific keystroke" in the directions you noted, if I try typing 
LeftAlt+Insert+DownArrow there, it will say nothing for the first few 
tries, then after a few tries will say "Alt Down Arrow" with it now 
missing the Insert Key. Very strange. The RightAlt+Insert+DownArrow 
shows up fine as would be expected. It's acting like a keyboard 
issue, yet outside of Jaws there doesn't seem to be an issue. At this 
point I'll use the RightAlt key for alternative voice reading and 
just keep watch of any other strange non-working key combo 
situations. I'm soon to purchase a mechanical keyboard, perhaps, 
though I doubt it, that willl help :).

2. press ctrl+shift+d to open the default file.
3. press tab to go in the list of keystrokes.
4. press ctrl+f to find specific keystroke.
5. Press the keystroke that works for you to read with alternate

Ah OK. Not sure what an "alt-gr" is :), but such alt-ctrl 
combinations   on either side of the spacebar are used with other 
keys. Thanks for the suggestion, I did diddle with them in case 
something was awry with the US English keyboard setting in control panel. ;)

Well, in the UK and Ireland our right alt key is given the alt-gr, 
or control + alt keys put together in one, functionality, which 
often forms the basis for accented letters. The left alt key by 
itself is then absolutely necessary.

Flor,

I think you had a missing key there :). Indeed I've checked both of 
those  previously ;).

What country keyboard layout? Press alt+shift (presumably the 
right alt key) to cycle between the different keyboard layouts on 
your computer. you could test the left alt key on a different 
keyboard layout should you have one.

That was the first thing I checked. It is set to Desktop :). I'm 
in no hurry to reinstall. I did try a different keyboard as well 
but it does same. I found out today however, that left alt key 
does work with the ctrl alt page up/down to change speech rate on 
the fly. I don't have any other  adaptable  software running 
other than Qwitter which I unloded thinking some strange key 
assignment  came into play. I don't have any alternative scripts 
other than Skype scripts, but I had those on an older machine 
with no issue/conflict.

Regions and Language settings for the keyboard shows US English but good
thought. What is strange is, the left ALT key works in every other
situation I've tried, plus  this: if you go into help 
mode  with insert 1,

and press Insert + rightAlt key + down arrow, Jaws help tells you it will
read in an alternative voice. If however, you press insert + leftAlt +
down arrow, it says nothing. Conversely, if you press insert, + either
right or left alt key, + "s" key for instance, the result is the same,
gives you the voice profile box,  or help if in help mode. So it appears
it is a Jaws issue specific to that hot key combination somehow rather
than a keyboard or settings issue. I'd not found it an issue anywhere
else.  I can live with it, but yes maybe down the road if I get 
some time,

I'll save my settings somewhere and un-, re-install Jaws and see if that
helps. Appreciate your taking some idea swings at it though.

Ok mystery solved but still weird. I've always used the left 
alt key for

this combination, I'd be curious what you use. Jaws is not recognizing
the left alt key in these key combos. The alt key works by itself and
with other non-Jaws key combination hot keys I've set up for apps and
such, but it will not work for this or other Jaws features. 
It does work
with the right alt key. Additionally I do not have 
"differentiate between
left and right paired keys" set  in the settings manager so 
it ought not

make a difference.

First, the settings are in jaws/options.voices/voice adjustment.
Second, if you adjust the speech synthesizer (alt+l) and choose sapi5,
it will work by pressing insert+down arrow. If you set it  to default
it works by pressing alt+insert+down arrow.

I can't comment if windows7 voice is the problem - probably not. I use
sapi5 voice and it's ok. I think you just need to press alt+down arrow
with your settings.

[JAWS-Users] Excel 2010-Jaws 13-Cell border info

[Brad Dunse']

Is anyone else having the below issue? I am running Win 7 64 bit, the 
latest Jaws 13 update and Excel 2010.


Pressing Alt Shift B to get the cell border status, that is, to tell 
you which sides have  what kind of border on which sides. It only 
reads:  Black surrounding border of active cell" no matter if a 
border exists or not. I had contacted tech support but didn't get 
anywhere other than they'll look into it which was probably a month a

solution? End of the year is coming and time to revamp some business

While in Excel press Insert F1 twice quick, you'll get more info

ctrl shift apostrophe will give a list of cells with comments.  I use 
the apps key for content menus to insert a comment. Press apps and up

[JAWS-Users] Text analyzer and corrections

[Brad Dunse']

Breaking into the free-lance commercial writing field, I really enjoy 
the text analyzer feature in Jaws. However, does anyone know of a 
faster way to access the mistakes it's found? For instance if it 
finds a space run at the 65th character, it would be awesome if a key 
could be pressed to take you there instead of counting in from the 
left margin, or ctrl right arrowing guessing roughly where 65 might 
be and arrowing from there to find it.


Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Word 2010 and heading text

[Brad Dunse']

Thanks for the tips and replies. Are you telling me we no longer then 
have the ability to just arrow down a document and know whether it is 
a header or not? I hope not. I'm starting to find very helpful 
features being dropped off the more updated we get here. In Word 2003 
one could create a heading text by:


1. Highlight the text
2. Press Alt Shift Right  or left Arrow to scroll through the heading 
text levels

3.  Then go about your business

Each time then you arrowed across that header text Jaws would say 
"Header level 1". Jaws 13 says it ought be reading this If you go to 
the Quick Settings  it says:


"This option controls how JAWS announces headings in Word documents.
Select between Off, On, and Heading and Level. If you want all styles 
to be indicated instead of just headings, choose the Style Changes 
option rather than Headings Announce from the QuickSettings dialog.

The default setting is Heading and Level."

One shouldn't have to enter into quick key mode to find out where you 
are in a nest of headers. One can always find the headers with Insert 
F6 as well but I'm talking about reading a document and as you scroll 
or read, you are able to tell what heading level you are in and if it 
is nested  within another . For example:


(Header 1) Honey  Do List

(Header 2) House

* Mow grass
* Fix door
* Clean garage

(Header 1) My To Do List

(header 2) Calls to make

(header 3) Cold calls
* ABC Company
*DEF Company

(header 3) Follow ups
*XYZ Company
*STP Company

(header 2) Personal calls
*Call parents for anniversary

A cheezy example but it is helpful to know what level is what when 
just arrowing down a document. Especially if it is one you haven't 
created and never saw before.

If you're wanting to read header style in a document, you could turn 
on the quick keys in Word with insert-z, then press h to move from 
header to header.


If you want to read the header above the page or footer below it, 
press insert+f1 for the page summary and the header/footer will be included.



Hi
 If you are using the heading that one accesses through the alt V
followed by the h command, the only way I know of to read this heading is to
use the JAWS cursor. The actual heading in this case is located above the
text edit window.
 I hope this helps.

As others have mentioned, this does not seem to work in JAWS 13 as of last
week.  I am not really a football fan, but it was a nice easy way to see if
the home team had lost yet again for social conversational reasons.

Does this breakage result from changes on the website where Research It
looks for results?  Just curious as to why these problems with sports
results occur.

Having just migrated to JAWS 12 and 13 from an earlier version of JAWS, I
will say that I do like Research It for its quickness and the ease of
glancing over headlines, definitions, and other things.

[JAWS-Users] Virtual Ribbon menu speech repetition

[Brad Dunsé]

Word 2010. Windoes 7 64 bit. JFW 13. More times 
than not when using the Virtual Ribbon, if for 
example I go to Insert, then to Text, when 
arrowing down from there all it says is "Text 
button drop down grid" everytime I down arrow. 
The only way I've found to rid it is to unload 
Jaws and fire it back up. It will reoccur shortly 
thereafter. Refreshing the screen does not affect 
it. I've noticed it does not do this when the 
Virtual Ribbon is turned off, all items are 
accessible then. It is not limited to justthe the 
text menu options but just about any last menu 
level. I'd hoped perhaps the new update might 
have the remedy. If anyone had this occur and/or  has a clue, I'd appreciat it.

What would be the optomum version of Skype to use with Jaws 12 and if 
any scripts other than what is in Jaws? I was running version 4.x 
with Jaws 11 and some scripts from Doug Lee I think? However with 
install of Jaws CTRL 1 and etc which normally moved to  contacts list 
just rambles  about no script to call  blah blah blah.


I can get older versions from www.oldversion.com if need be. I'm 
running XP Pro SP3. If scripts are needed and you have, please send. 
Actually I want to think I don't even have the Jaws default  scripts 
as I overwrote them with Jaws 11's assuming it'd actually work :).


Thanks.

Brad

[JAWS-Users] Anytime Organizer

[Brad Dunse]

For a long time I've used Anytime Organizer by Individual Software 
and am currently using version 12. Sadly, it hasn't been supported 
by  Jaws for a number of years. Thanks  however to some users on this 
list in the past I managed to get some scripts that allow it to be 
used in these later versions of Jaws. My question is I would really 
like to make use of the color labels were it would speak a text label 
as you scrolled down your To Do list and etc. Now all Jaws says is 
black, it doesn't recognize the red on blue or other  colors that are 
there and verified by doing a Insert 5 command.


Does anyone use this program and make use of this feature?

thanks.

Brad

Re: [JAWS-Users] Anytime Organizer

[Brad Dunse]

Thanks. I haven't been too successful on that feature. I can never 
get the color scheme to show up in the choices. I took a different 
approach and am experimenting with what I think is a solution. I've 
given all my music tasks a bdm in front and then assigned a sound to 
it in that applications Jaws dictionary so I can quickly scroll 
through when working on those items and lisen for the unique sound. 
Actually I think this might be a better solution :). Takes  up a 
couples characters real estate in the edit field but so far so good.


Thanks for the suggestion. I do need to work out the custom highlight 
for Quickbooks Pro however but haven't explored it much.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Anytime Organizer

[Brad Dunse]

Don,

This is me too. I'm so invested in years and information I really do 
not want to switch. And then to find something that has the features 
Anytime has is tough I think. As for my queue to which task is for 
what part of life, it seems to work well to asign a two or three 
character string to it, such as hm for home, ps as personal or maybe 
bz for business, then have the Jaws dictionary for Anytime play a 
sound when it runs across that lower case sensitive string.


Hope that helps.

[JAWS-Users] MS Excel Comments

[Brad Dunse]

Using XP Pro, MS Ofice 2003 and Jaws 12 here. When I am in Excel and 
insert a "comment" in a cell all is fine but aside from Jaws 
cursoring somewhere on the spreadsheet I don't know how to get out 
of that insert window. Is there some hot key or way of doing this 
efficiently? Tabbing, F6ing or CTRL F6ing doesn't work.I've not used 
comments as I ought because of this and would like to get it solved.


Thanks for any help.

[JAWS-Users] IE8 and focus question

[Brad Dunse]

I'm using XP Pro, JFW 12, IE 8. Though I think I had  this with 
Firefox too sometimes.
When I log on to a web page, it loads up  and ttells me 100%, the 
status bar says "done", but I arrow down, I get the http://www. 
whatever. And I find I'm in the address bar. It'll do this even if I 
access it from a favorite.  Sometimes you can refresh the screen and 
then Shift TAB out but not always. Mostly when you Shift tab or tab 
it just says nothing, arrowing down just says blank.


Is there a hot key that will put focus on the web page by chance? Or 
if you know of any other fix by turning something off or on even. It 
gets quite annoying and to get focus to the browser you have to use 
the Jaws cursor and  try to find something that isn't a link when you click it.


Thanks.

Brad

[JAWS-Users] Same page hyperlinking in Word 2003

[Brad Dunse]

This problem  has existed for a while now, tech support says its a 
Word issue but when I  try it without speech running it works fine. I 
like to use same page linking in Word to easily get to a certain part 
of   adocument. I know about bookmarking but  you have to continually 
remove the ole links in there that are  generated from 
copying/pasting and it just isn't cool.


The problem is you ought to be able to highlight a certain text in a 
document, go to the top of the page, hit ALT E, then H to "Paste As 
Hyperlink" and it ought make a link there that is executable and 
whisks you to the point from where you copied it. Only  when Jaws is 
running it won't paste it at all. It did back in version 8 or 9, 
can't remember which, but never since. Tech support stands by the 
fact its a Word issue even though it worked in past versions of Jaws 
and it works without Jaws running.


Have any insight on this?

Thanks.

I notice that quite a few people write the list about Research It 
not working from time to time.
The most likely cause for this, is that website information used in 
Research It has changed.
Jaws relies on specific information from each site to be available, 
and when the website in question changes that information,

the Research It utility fails to work correctly.
This is why FS will have to continually update Jaws in order for 
Research It to work.
Whenever you have a problem retrieving information using this 
utility, and you will , simply contact FS to make them aware of the problem.
I'm not bashing FS, I'm just pointing out why folks that use 
Research It experience these problems.
Personally, I prefer using Internet Explorer since the same 
information can be obtained from the individual sites that Research 
It accesses.
So, if Research It fails to get the information you are looking 
for, try going to the  corresponding website and getting it.

HTH,

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dates in Word

[Brad Dunse]

Betsy/Mike,

The enhanced setting didnt' seem to make a difference but I'm glad 
I'm aware of that setting in case I need it in the future, I did set 
it to 8 digits or more but I think setting  it to read by 
pairs  worked. I played around with various text processing/numeric 
settings and perhaps a combination of them got it to work. Thanks 
for  the suggestions and pointers. A happy date reader now :).

Brad,
Have you tried setting your JAWS numbers setting to something like 
read single digits if number contains 8 or more digits? That's what 
I did and it was solved.

  Is there anyway to  prevent Jaws from saying:

  January, sixth, second, zero one one

  when it ought be January sixth, twenty eleven. Or two thousand eleven

  Thank ya kindly,

Re: [JAWS-Users] skype

[Brad Dunse]

You can get older versions of software at

http://www.oldversion.com

but they only have Version - 3.1.0.144 as the newest there.  To go to 
that page direclty go to:


http://www.oldversion.com/Skype.html

I don't know of a list for it but I'm sure there's one around.

Hi All,
I have two questions regarding Skype. First, is there a user list 
for Skype and if so, what is the address? Secondly, is it possible 
for someone to down grade rather than the reverse? Any help will be 
greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jo

It would seem that the most recent version of Skype does not like 
the idea of JAWS users adding a contact. My guess either I am 
missing something or they need to fix what ever the problem might 
happen to be at this time. Never the less I find it interesting and 
will look further for more updated scripts ETC. This is just my 
impression after a few minutes of playing with it. It's been a long 
time since I added anybody so this kind of thing simply slid under my radar.

[JAWS-Users] FRAME SETTING

[Brad Dunse']

I am trying to set a frame to speak the status of a "Done" check box 
in my tasks in Anytime Organizer. I thought I had this a long time 
ago  in an earlier version of Jaws which I don't have anymore, but I 
can't seem to get it to say checked or unchecked. Are there any 
specific tweaks to get it to speak an element? Frame setting hasn't 
been a useful tool for me for some reason, but I'd like to get this to work.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Brad
