This is really helpful. I will have to try this ap again, as I installed it a couple months back and it seemed to cause major issues with JAWS.
From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 4:30 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Phone Link for Windows 11 Phone Link for Windows with JAWS Phone Link is a service in Windows 11 that allows you to connect your smart phone over bluetooth so you can use your computer for taking/making calls as well as reading/sending text messages. It is available for both Android and iOS. A link to the Microsoft page concerning Phone Link is at the end. The app is called Link to Windows. I don't have it all figured out, but here is a start. Phone Link for Windows seems to remember where you last were in the program. So, if you exit the app while on Messages, focus will be on the New Message button when you start it again. If you were on the Calls tab, it will start with your call history. I left Phone Link on messages, so when I launched it, Jaws speech history shows: SplashScreen loading Phone Link New message Button If I shift tab from the New Message button, I hear: Features Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S Shift+tab again and hear: Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1 Then right arrow once and hear: Calls. No unread items Tab 2 of 2 Alt followed by 2 Now, If you hit spacebar when on Messages and tab you get: Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1 Tab again to: Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S Tab again: New message Button Tab again: Conversations List box Recent Conversation with Richard Turner. Message preview. Testing. 1 of 1 Tab: Learn more about messages Button Keep tabbing and you get info about your phone, etc. When I am on my phone info in Phone Link and press the hotkey for calls, Alt+2 I hear: Call History Recent calls List box Carol Davies, Incoming, ?12?-?Aug?-?23 at ?8?:?25? ?PM If I tab then, I hear: Dialer Search your contacts Edit You can then search your contacts. If you keep tabbing without searching, you hear: Keypad 1 Button 2 Button 3 Button 4 Button 5 Button 6 Button 7 Button 8 Button 9 Button * Button 0 Button # Button If I am in the Search your Contacts and for example type Fred: I get this: 2 results. Suggestions: 2, fred Fred Meyer Hawthorne. 5 0 3 8 7 2 3 3 0 0 . Work If I hit enter on that number I hear: Call Dialed number ( 5 0 3 ) 8 7 2 - 3 3 0 0 Button If I hit enter again, I call that number from my computer using my phone. The focus with Jaws lands on the End Call button, or if your phone is handy you can do the standard two finger double tap to hang up. If you are on the messages tab, New Message Button and hit spacebar or enter, you land in the to field. If I use the above example and type Fred I get the same results, and if I hit enter, I am in an edit box to type my text message. Note, As far as I can tell, you cannot enter hard returns/new lines in a text message, when you hit enter, it sends the message. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sync-across-your-devices I hope that is helpful, Richard, USA. “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” -- Jane Wagner from The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe My web site: https://www.turner42.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
