Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer
Hello, I am also looking for a new laptop. I have decided that I don't really want/need a touch screen, they add a lot of weight and are more expensive. So, I'm going for a non-touch screen model.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer
I use a Surface with the type keyboard. JAWS touch support is a little wonky. It, for example, is not as responsive or useful as Voiceover touch is, but it does make some tasks a little quicker to do, e.g. touching the bottom right of your screen to check the time. I'm actually surprised you can even find non-touch computers these days. Another issue I have with JAWS touch support is that, when I rely on it, I've noticed it crashes apps and programs somewhat frequently. In short, it's minimally useful for now, but has a ton of potential in the future, especially if you have something like a Surface.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer
Hi, You can learn a lot about the touch cursor on the FS web site in the free webinars that were done on Windows 8.1. Navigating apps and using the touch cursor is really explained well in these webinars. Basically, you turn it on by pressing Shift+numb pad + or Shift+Caps lock+Semi colon, with the laptop keyboard layout turned on in the JAWS basic dialog. When it is on, right arrow is like swiping right with your finger, and the left arrow is like swiping left. The up and down arrow, is like swiping up or down. Take care. -Original Message- From: Greg Washington Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 7:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer
If you have a computer with a touch screen, you don't have to activate the touch cursor. Putting your finger on the screen automatically allows you to explore by touch. To activate an icon you are touching, you do a double tap. This concept will be familiar to iOS and Android users. If you are using the keyboard with the touch cusor to mimic touching the screen, pressing the spacebar or enter will activate the icon. Note that on Windows 10, using the touch cursor with the keyboard isn't terribly reliable. Also, I find double tapping, and the flick and swipe gestures to be more fiddley than they aught to be. That fs cast really does explain a lot, as do the built-in JAWS help files. Good luck!

I will look into the Jaws touch cursor. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Moore Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 5:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Hi, That is what I would do. You can use the JAWS touch cursor if you have a touch screen or not, so you can navigate the universal apps with the JAWS touch cursor right from the keyboard. Good luck on finding your new notebook. -Original Message- From: Steve Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 4:12 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Huh? Whether you want touch or not, I have one here from HP and I dooubt it adds much to the weight. Some of the gestures do enhance the convenience. - Original Message - From: Reed Poynter To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Hello, I am also looking for a new laptop. I have decided that I don't really want/need a touch screen, they add a lot of weight and are more expensive. So, I'm going for a non-touch screen model.

I don't mind Windows 10 but am wondering whether Jaws 17 latest works well with a touch screen laptop or should I look for one with a non-touch screen?
