Hey Aaron, When I rebooted my computer the SpeakDropbox started working. I guess when my husband took the SpeakDropbox out of the overflow, and put it next to the dropbox icon, it started working. Thanks Patti
Hi Aaron, I still have had no luck, and it still doesn't work on my desktop, running windows10, and the latest Jaws 17. It works fine on my laptop. I found the never button, but I couldn't find the always. I had my husband take the SpeakDropbox out of the overflow, and put it next to the dropbox icon. It is still saying no dropbox found. What else can I do? I thought to remove it, and reinstall it, but I don't know how to turn it off? Thanks for any help you can give me. Patti Hi. I'm going to quote the second item of the troubleshooting in the SpeakDropbox documentation. Hopefully this helps. That chevron button someone mentioned in this thread that you can hit once you hit windows+b to expose all tray icons can be disabled so that all icons are always displayed. This may or may not fix your issue, since Dropbox typically is always displayed even when the chevron button is hiding some icons, Dropbox itself generally refuses to be hidden. If this is in fact what the problem is, the explanation for this is that SpeakDropbox can't read the Dropbox icon if the Dropbox icon isn't visible. 2 SpeakDropbox either says no Dropbox icon found when there truly is a Dropbox icon, or can't find SpeakDropbox icon when well, obviously SpeakDropbox is running. This could happen if windows decides that either application isn't particularly active right now and hides it's icon to make room for more pressing matters. I solve problems like this which haunt screen readers as much as something like SpeakDropbox by going to the task bar customization page in control panel. Easy way to get there could be just to type "task" into the search box of start menu or start screen. Find something about task bar. May be "task bar and notification", perhaps "customize the taskbar". Once you get it, look first for a combo box that has something like 3 items in it. If you get the right box, there should be one item that says "never combine". It may be helpful to change the combo box to this option also. But the big fix is to hit the customize button. Look in the resulting dialogue for something like "always show all icons and notifications on the task bar". Checking this and then choosing ok ought to solve this particular problem nicely.
