Hi David, It won't be necessary to unsubscribe from the old list, to the best of my knowledge anyways. Did you get the confirmation email from the Groups.io Jaws-Users List? Here is the new message post email address for the new list, just in case. jaws-users-l...@groups.io Remember, no crossposting because that will stop your message cold!

No purpose is served by having multiple JAWS user groups. It's one thing, for instance, to have specialist groups like the JAWS scripting group, but if one is looking to bring end users together the idea should be reaching the largest audience in a single place. For anyone who's curious, send an e-mail message to the Help e-mail address listed below.

Re: [JAWS-Users] obtaing one's jaws key
Hi James, You can try the steps for getting your code I've pasted below, but these steps for getting your authorization code didn't work on my Windows 10 system, so you might have to call Freedom Scientific / VFO and they will tell you your code. Their phone number is: 1-800-444-4443 Code retrieval steps: From: Gene Warner Hi Everyone! Ignore my previous question, I found it, and in doing so, may have found a way for Adam to get his full authorization code, at least it worked for me. This will only work on an already activated copy of JAWS. Steps: 1. If you're running Jaws from the system tray, press the JAWS key + the J key, for me it is Insert+J, to open the Jaws context menu. 2. Go to the help sub menu. 3. Go to the Update authorization option 4. You'll get a dialog with several buttons, click the Start Authorization button. 5. In this dialog, choose manual activation, then click next. 6. In this next dialog there is a read only field with your locking code, and two input fields, one has your entire authorization code, the other is for your license code or serial number. 7. Copy the authorization code, then cancel out of the dialog. hth Cheers! Gen Take Care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool.

[JAWS-Users] Problem opening links that are in some email messages
Hi Using Outlook 2010 under Windows 10 and Internet Explorer 11 as the default browser and JAWS 2018 latest build, when I press enter on the links in some email messages to open them, all I get is an error message that says something like: Unable to find URL for Tracker ID. The links in those emails open fine if I change the default browser to Firefox. But I would rather keep Internet Explorer as my default browser until Edge is working well with JAWS. I have tried changing my default browser to Firefox and then back to Internet explorer with no success. I have also tried resetting Internet Explorer settings, also with no success. I will be sincerely grateful for any assistance. Thank you in advance. Mike For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] How to enable first letter navigation when you're in a folder?
Hi I recently added a 2nd administrator account to a Windows 10 1803 computer When I am logged onto that account and navigate into a folder, I can use first letter navigation to find the file I want and press enter to open it. But when I am logged onto the new User account and navigate into a folder, when I press a key for first letter navigation, a search box appears containing that character. So I can't just press enter to open that file. So are there settings which will make first letter navigation in the new user account work like it does in the first user account? I will be sincerely grateful for any assistance. Thank you in advance. Mike For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

If you use up and down arrow keys in this view you will only here the name of the file and the right and left arrow keys will do nothing. You can read the current line to get other header information. If you use CTRL with shift and 6 you go into the details view. In the details view you hear one file at a time but you can use the right arrow key to get more header information. One of these views might be what you are wanting. The numbers 1 through 8 go with the CTRL and shift keys to change views. The numbers go in the order of the icons in the view menu as follows: CTRL + SHIFT + 1 Extra Large icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 2 Large Icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 3 Medium Icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 4 Small Icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 5 List view, CTRL + SHIFT + 6 Details view, CTRL + SHIFT + 7 Tiles view, CTRL + SHIFT + 8 Content view.

I'm using Windows 10 and JAWS 18. I recently switched back to the Eloquence synth more-or-less full-time after using Vocalizer for a year. I'm quite happy, except that I find the synth is too loud, relative to other sounds on my system. There are no controls for volume in my JAWS options, so I went into Windows volume mixer and turned it way down, to around 20%, which seems a level I am happy with. Only thing is, now something strange and slightly annoying is happening. If I don't use the voice for a little while, as in, maybe ten seconds or more, when it starts up again, it is quite quiet, and then gradually increases in volume. It's a small thing but I would kind of like the volume to remain at a consistent level. I've tried experimenting with volume levels in Windows to get the perfect balance, but it is surprisingly difficult. In general I don't want JAWS or system sounds to overwhelm things like media players, but everything always seems just a little too loud or too quiet, and of course there are other factors one always has to consider as well, such as the relative volumes of disparate media files, which I am ok with as I'm not a fan of auto-normalisation and such. This thing with JAWS trying to boost its own volume is strange though. Any thoughts from the group?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dectalk Synthesizer problem
Hi Which Dectalk synthesizer are you using? The original Dectalk synthesizers were made by the company Digital Equipment Corporation, which no longer exists. The JAWS 2018 Synthesizer and Braille manager supports the external Dectalk Express synthesizer and the internal Dectalk Access32 software synthesizer which were made by Digital Equipment Corporation and the Dectalk USB 64 synthesizer made by someone else. I am successfully using a Dectalk Express external synthesizer which I got sometime in the mid-1990s. It did get put in storage for a couple of years, while I used the Dectalk Access32 Software synthesizer until I upgraded to Windows 7, which would no longer support that synthesizer. But when I plugged the Dectalk Express into the Windows 7 using a Serial to USB adaptor, nothing happened. It was found that since the Dectalk Express was getting old, the battery needed to be removed and the Dectalk Express needed to be plugged into electrical power. When that was done, the Dectalk Express has worked since then. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Shai Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 12:35 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Dektalk Synthesizer problem Hello, What issue are you having with the DecTalk external synthesizer and JAWS? I am using a DecTalk external synthesizer and I am not having any issue with it. The machine is using Windows10 1803 and the latest version of JAWS 2018. Do you have a braille display by chance? I noticed that sometimes the comport for the USB serial port and Bluetooth get conflicted which makes the DecTalk express not work. If this occurs, removing the Bluetooth device from that comport if it's already on another port in ports and devices in device manager and restarting the computer resolves it for me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] texting from computer
Hi Orlando, Personally I'm running Windows 7 & 10 with Jaws 16 thru J2018, had to make this a Jaws thing, & Outlook Express. When I send out text messages from my computers I receive them back as replies to my Outlook Express In-box. I use a different email address for my iPhone than I do for my computers, but I can access my iPhone emails from an identity / separate account I have set up on all my computers. I know a lot of people that don't receive voice mail, texts, & emails because of whatever cellular or internet hiccups, so there's no way that I will risk not receiving something important because all my messaging is controlled by someone elses server / the cloud.

Hi David, Below are 2 different FN key layouts for Lenovo laptops. It'll take a little experimentation, but I'm sure one of these will be what you need. #1: These are the F key default functions. To get the normal F key functions you need to have FN key locked, or use the FN key with the F keys. FN key + Escape locks / unlocks the FN key. F1 = Mute F2 = Volume Down F3 = Volume Up F4 = Microphone Mute F5 = Screen Brightness Down F6 = Screen Brightness Up F7 = External Display F8 = WiFi On / Off F9 = Gear Icon F10 = Magnifying Glass F11 & F12 = ? #2: f1: Mutes/unmutes the sound. f2: Decreases the volume level. f3: Increases the volume level. f4: Closes the currently active window. f5: Refreshes the desktop or the currently active window. f6: Enables/disables the touchpad and the touchpad buttons. f7: Enables/disables airplane mode. (Wireless) f8: Switches the active program. f9: Turns on/off the backlight of the display. f10: Projects to a connected display. f11: Decreases display brightness. f12: Increases display brightness.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Invisible screen
Hi Leonard, If you're running Windows 10 & Jaws 2018 there's a feature called, Screen Shade, which darkens the screen so others can't see it. This feature uses a layered keystroke.

Re: [JAWS-Users] e-mailing someone off list.
Hi Justin, If your reply directly / privately to sender keystroke, Insert / Jaws key, Shift, + R, isn't working here is a work around. If you are using Jaws you can get the senders email address doing the following: 1. With the email open, press, Alt + 1 on the number row, to make sure the persons name is in the, From field. 2. If it's there press, Alt + 1, twice quickly. Pressing, Alt + 1 twice quickly brings the focus to the, From, field. 3. Press, Control + A, to select all the text in the, From Field, or, Press the home key to move the cursor to the beginning of the line, press, shift + End key, that's the E N D key, to select the text from the cursor to the end of the line, & copy this to the clipboard. i.e, example below: Mike B. After copying the Name / email address, it does not have to be edited at all. You do not need to remove the less or greater signs. 4.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message, Possible Fix
Hi Sharon, Well, I went to check my Windows 10computer, and I don't have that showing any more either! LOL Beats the heck out of me where it went, but below are the steps I used to make Jaws report the safe to remove message. I know the steps below work in Windows 10 Pro, but I don't know if they'll work in other versions of Windows 10. Thanks again to, Fernando, for the steps below: From: Fernando Gregoire Hi Mike and all, If the confirmation message appears on the screen but JAWS is not saying it, perhaps it's helpful to know that in Windows 10 balloons was replaced with toasts, which like notifications in the Action Center are handled by the ShellExperienceHost process, too unstable like most UWP apps and areas, unfortunately increasing. JAWS 17 and newer have a verbosity setting concerning Windows 10 notifications, but it is not as accurate as balloon reading, which was being developed since Windows XP. If you have Windows 10 Pro, there's a group policy which allows to use balloons instead of new toast notifications. Try the steps below: 1. Press WINDOWS+R, type the following and then press ENTER: gpedit.msc 2. In the Tree view arrow down to, User Configuration, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Administrative Templates, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Start Menu and Taskbar. 3. When you reach Start Menu and Taskbar, tab to the list view. In the list view, find the following policy: Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts 4. Press ENTER to open the properties of this policy, tab to the group of radio buttons and change from, Not Configured, to, Enabled, tab to, Okay, and press enter. 5. When finished, restart the computer for this change to take effect. By the way, File Explorer and other system and third-party apps which previously shown balloons will do that exactly as in prior Windows versions, including JAWS ability to simulate a left mouse click. Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Hot Key
Hi Geoff & Cristóbal, You can try assigning the shortcut keystroke from a different Jaws icon, and I believe it will solve your disappearing keystroke problem. I assign my pin to Taskbar shortcut from this Jaws icon and never have to mess with it after a Jaws build update. Try the following: 1.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows Updates Inquiry
Howdy Jerry, Do you have Fast Start enabled? If this is enabled then when you shut your computer down it doesn't really shut down, but it goes into a hibernated state that allows the computer to wake-up & install updates, run security scans, & whatever the Widows 10 system is supposed to do in this state. These tasks are all scheduled and designed to do their thing when your computer is not being used. But, if Fast Start is disabled it can't do these scheduled tasks. So, in your case if Fast Start is not turned on in can't wake-up to install the updates and you would have to do them manually. If you have Fast Start enabled and the updates aren't being installed there might be an error code message somewhere which explains why. if you do a search using the error code number as your search criteria.

Using JAWS 2018 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop, I have a confusing problem. When I go to shut down my laptop, I close all open programs with the exception of JAWS.

Hi David, I'm playing a spoken notification sound that Rick made for another operating system playing, but if Jaws reported the message I would still hear Jaws reporting.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your reply. Would you try the steps below to see if they'll work for you? Okay, by doing the following Jaws will report the safe to remove message, although not consistently. I knew I had a note about this somewhere because this also happens in Widows 7, and this is how I fixed it: 1. Windows key + I, to open Settings, Navigate to Personalization, and press enter. 2. Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter. 3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to remove after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update. I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive. Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue. I just assume that it's safe. If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should. I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS. If I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text. I haven't had a sighted person look at the screen. I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message. On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted? Shouldn't JAWS be removed if it's shut down. This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word. If I shut JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should. I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the alt-tab line up. Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about disappeared messages. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Hi Adrian, Like you I want the extra confirmation, but although Jaws doesn't report the message consistently any more the removal process is being completed. When the removal process is completed the Safely Remove icon disappears from the system tray unless you have more than 1 external drive running which I'm prone to do. But, let's say you have 3 external drives running and their drive letters are L, M, & N. You want to remove drive M, you open the Safely Remove from the system tray, choose driveM, and press enter. Now, Jaws doesn't report the drive is safe to remove, but if you look in, Computer, driveM won't be showing which means it's safe to remove. If you're only running 1 external drive, after you choose it from the Safely Remove icon, and Jaws doesn't report it to be safe to remove, look in, Computer, and if you don't see it in the drive list it's safe to remove.

Before going to the system tray, do you close the window displaying that drive's contents? Then does the confirmation show up in the system tray? A related point: My tech consultant says that removing an item, such as an SD card, can be done safely so long as the window is closed. He'd say, then, that even if you aren't getting that reassuring confirmation, you'll be okay. Even so, I admit I take the extra precaution of getting system tray confirmation. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Mike B.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws saying misspelled in browsers
Hi Adrian & Josh, To navigate Chrome Settings a little more quickly you can navigate by heading after opening Settings. 1. Open Chrome, well duh LOL , press, Alt + F, for the file menu, and press, S, to open Settings. 2. Now navigate by heading using the letter, H, and the headings you will hear are, People, Appearance, Search Engine, Default Browser, & On Start-up. For each heading down arrow line by line for the options of each heading. Ignore the lines that say, Clickable, because when you down arrow one more time you'll hear Jaws report the button that activates or deactivates the options. If you hear, Button Pressed, that means the option is turned on, and if Jaws only reports, Button, it's turned off. 3. If you press the letter, H, 1 more time after the, On Start-up, heading you will hear Jaws announce, Advanced heading level2 button collapsed. Press enter to expand the Advanced options and navigate the same way here as explained above, by heading and up / down arrowing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Recent Mode & Gmail, Step #3
Good Morning Again Dave, The steps on the server do not tell someone how to set Gmail to receive a copy of their own messages. The steps say how to set up Gmail for POP3, but not how to get a copy of their own messages. As I said earlier, there are 2 schools of thought for someone to get a copy of their own messages sent to a list. The first was to put, recent plus a colon in front of your email address on the General tab in account properties, and the second was to put, recent plus a colon, in front of your Account Name / email address on the Server tab of account properties. People have had success using both ways, but I guess the important thing to remember is that if one way does not work, try the other! LOL Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.

[JAWS-Users] Getting My Messages With Gmail, How I Did It
Hi All, Okay folks, in order for me to be able to receive my posts' sent to the Jaws-Users list I had to do the following using Gmail with Outlook Express: Open up the tools menu, then arrow down to accounts and press enter. Once in the dialog box, highlight your Gmail account, and tab to the properties button, and press the spacebar. In the resulting dialog box, control+tab to the servers page, and tab down to the, Account Name, edit field. In the Account Name field, type the word recent with a colon before your e-mail address. So, if you're typing this information into your e-mail field, you would type in: recent:usern...@gmail.com Tab down to the apply button, then shift+tab back to the ok button and press the spacebar. You'll land back on the accounts dialog box, at which point, you tab to the close button, then press the spacebar again. The next time you send and receive your messages, you'll receive each and every message you ever sent via Gmail, so be prepared to get a flood of e-mails once you do this. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Desktop Shortcuts That Will Open With A Specific Browser, How To

Note: If you have the file path of the browser already pasted into a text file, and also the website's URL you're creating the shortcut for also pasted into the same text file it makes doing the following much easier. Otherwise you'll have to browse for the browser file path. The example I'm going to use is with Chrome and the Jaws-Users website. 1. Go to the desktop and make sure that nothing is selected. Either press F5 when on the desktop or hold down the control key and press the spacebar to deselect anything that is already selected. 2. Press the, applications / context menu key, / right mouse click, to bring up the context menu items. 3. Choose new from the menu and then choose create shortcut from the sub menu. 4. A 2 stage dialogue opens. The default field says type a location. Paste the Chrome file path right here. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" Take notice of the quotation marks at the beginning and end of the file path. At the end of the file path put a space with the spacebar to the right of the ending quotation mark. Now put the website URL you want this shortcut to open, but you, do not, need to put the, http:// orr www., you only need to put everything after the, http:// or www., text. See example below. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" jaws-users.com 5. Tab to the, Next, button and press the spacebar to open. This is where you put in a name for this shortcut. After typing the desired name tab to, Finish, & press enter. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Desktop Shortcuts With Firefox
Hi All, Okay, a long way of doing it, but here are steps for creating desktop URL shortcuts. Note: If the shortcuts are made with Firefox, the shortcut will only work if Firefox is your default browser. I'll post steps for shortcuts that can be assigned to open with a particular browser at a later time. There may be an easier way, but here is what I do to create a desktop icon for a web page. 1. Open your browser to the desired website. 2. Press, Alt + D, to move to and highlight the address bar , or pressing, F6, works as well. 3. Press, Control + C, to copy the URL to the clipboard. 4. Move to the desktop and make sure that nothing is selected. Either press F5 when on the desktop or hold down the control key and press the spacebar to deselect anything that is already selected. 5. Press the, applications / context menu key, / right mouse click, to bring up the context menu items. 6. Choose new from the menu and then choose create shortcut from the sub menu. 7. A 2 stage dialogue opens. The default field is address. Paste the address from the desired web page into the address field and tab once to the next button and press space bar. 8. A second page opens and the default field says 'type a name for the shortcut.' Type in a recognizable name for the shortcut and tab to next and press space bar. 9. A finish button should appear. Press space bar or enter on it and you are done. This is a bit convoluted, but it seems to work quite well. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Desktop Shortcuts With Firefox
Hi Adrian, I'm sorry, but I failed to mention that I run the portable version of Firefox ESR 52.8, and this doesn't appear in Start menu/ All Programs. There's a way of creating a desktop shortcut with the version I'm running, but it requires creating a new shortcut through the context menu with nothing selected on the desktop. I'm definitely going to save these steps in case I have to install Firefox to get the desired workability - Original Message - From: Adrian Spratt To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 8:31 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Desktop Shortcuts With Firefox Hi, Mike.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple JAWS versions
Hi Jerry, No, you don't need to uninstall anything. Being that you said you have Jaws 17 showing in Programs of the control panel, David is trying to see if Jaws 17 is only showing or if it's installed. If you open the start menu and open your Programs folder, arrow down to see if Jaws 17 is there. If it's there, Jaws 17 is probably already installed. To finde out for sure, this is what David is suggesting, open the Run dialogue with the keystroke Windows key + R, and type in the following: jaws 17 Now unload whatever version of Jaws you have running with the, Jaws key + F4, keystroke and press enter. to shut that version down. Now press enter again, and if you have Jaws 17 installed it should start. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.
