Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Keeps Repeating "="
Hi, it's a USB keyboard I use. Today I restored the computer back to the earliest time I could, and that seems to resolve the issue for the time. The only thing, I lost my JAWS Autherization. -Original Message- From: Pinky Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 6:29 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Keeps Repeating "=" Can you plug in a USB keyboard?

The only thing that works is switching the Say all command to without pause line at a time. Or converting the text to word or some other format. The screen echo is off, though that didn't work.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
Hi Mike, Just to clear up something. the key repeat feature has nothing to do with this issue. Key Repeat has to do with when you press and hold down, say, an arrow key, it continues to move. I wonder if you have the keyboard cursor voice active as well as the PC cursor voice?

Anyway, Jaws keeps repeating characters when I try to read Character by character. For example; If I copy a web address and paste it into the address bar then, try to read the URL Character by character Jaws will keep repeating the characters each time that I left or right arrow. It does this when I am trying to do a couple of other tasks also but, can't think if off the top of my head at the moment. I have key repeat unchecked in the configuration manager.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
Hello Sir; Thank you for your response and confirming what I thought about how key repeat works. Here is a better explanation of what is happening. If I copy a URL into the address bar and invoke the say line keystroke Jaws will read it just fine. If I press the Home key Jaws will keep repeating the first letter of the URL. If I press the right arrow, Jaws will keep repeating that letter, until I press the right or left arrow and Jaws will keep repeating whatever letter is highlighted. Pressing the control key will not stop Jaws from speaking. The only way to stop Jaws at this point is pressing the escape key. I can read a URL character by character in an email or if I paste it into Notepad just fine. I have went into manage applications settings and disabled everything. The problem is still there after disabling everything in the manage applications settings dialogue box. I hope you or someone has some ideas on how I can correct this issue because it is annoying as hell! LOL Oh, it also does the character repeat in My Documents if I press the F2 key to change the name of a folder. Thanks again, take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
Mike, besides JAWS, do you have any other self-voicing apps (Openbook, or some other) that will read character by character, see if this behaviour is duplicated then? One thought is that this might be a video card issue. How about when you're writing, is everything ok then? - Original Message - From: Mike Barbara Arcadia mb69ma...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating Hello Sir; Thank you for your response and confirming what I thought about how key repeat works.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
Hi Flor; I tried NVDA and I was able to read character by character what Jaws wasn't able to read character by character. Everything seems to be okay when writing. I truly appreciate your input.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
perhaps your best bet may be to have someone with sight view the screen when this is happening. Perhaps there's some screen magnification setting at work. Settings in Control panel | Accessibility Options | Display, might be a good place to probe. You might also want to look at windows settings, in the Appearance tab of Control panel | Display. NVDA = Non Visual Desktop Access - get that?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
Could be your screen resolution, if the resolution is very high and the carat is overlapping the character on the screen Jaws will see it as a newly written character when the carat flashes off and repeat it to you each time. See if changing the cursor blink rate changes the rate of the repetition to find out if this is the cause. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike Barbara Arcadia Sent: 18 July 2010 21:25 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating Hi Flor; I tried NVDA and I was able to read character by character what Jaws wasn't able to read character by character.
