Hello I do not contest your solution but I just want to make sure that your problem was similar to mine. My problem is specific when I change to the jaws cursor to examine the screen then I hear blank, blank etc. instead of getting what appears on the screen. It is therefore strange that a punctuation setting will rectify this problem. Was your problem also related to using the jaws cursor to examine the screen. I may just add that when this happens and I use the jaws key plus the letter B then jaws does read the text on the screen but when I activate the jaws cursor I can not read anything. I shall try the touch cursor when I encounter the problem again because it sounds that in windows10 that may solve the problem. Regards Fanus

Here below is how I did it. This came from Mike B. So if you can't figure it out blame him. LOL Mr. Ed How to make Jaws stop saying blank: Try the following: If you want nothing said instead of blank in all applications try the following: 1. Open the Settings Center insert + 6, then press, control, shift, + D, to open Settings Center default all applications. 2. Arrow down to, punctuation closed..., right arrow to open, down arrow to, customize punctuation...., & press the spacebar to open. Make sure you press the spacebar to open & not enter. Pressing enter will close the Settings Center. 3. Tab to the Advanced button & press spacebar to open. The first item in the list will be, blank, so tab 1 time to, edit description.... button, & press the spacebar to open. The word, blank, will be in this edit field. Delete the word, blank, put a space with the spacebar, & press enter. 4. Tab to okay, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar, tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close the Settings Center. If you don't want this in all applications, open the desired applications individually & use the above steps in each application.

As for the Jaws cursor, someone that uses Windows 10 as their primary system will be able to answer better than myself, but with my limited experience using Jaws with Windows 10 the Jaws cursor can't be used the way it could be used with Windows 7 or XP. It seems that the touch cursor is being used more & more often in Windows 10, but I don't have the knowledge to tell you why that is. All I can say is that I sure wish the Jaws cursor had the same functionality in Win 10 as in previous operating systems. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.

My problem is that irrespective of which screen resolution I use most of the time the jaws cursor just says “blank, blank, blank”. So, is this caused by the display which is too old or the onboard sound card. I shall like to replace which ever to be able to use the jaws cursor properly. I use Windows 10 with the latest version of jaws but this was the case with windows 8.1 as well. Regards Fanus From: Mike B.

Running Windows 7 & 10 Pro 64 bit, with Jaws 16 thru J2018: I will use this particular example with System Restore. If you go into System Restore, there's a checkbox that you need to check in order to see more restore points than 1 or 2. If I have my screen resolution set very high, I can't find this checkbox, but if I lower the resolution I can find it using the Jaws cursor. I know my settings are different than others, so people please don't start flooding the list with comparisons because we all have various experiences that others call hogwash, & I'm not trying to argue with anyone, only stating my personal experiences. Simple explanation from the internet: It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels: for example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. This example would normally be spoken as "ten twenty-four by seven sixty-eight" or "ten twenty-four by seven six eight". The most important thing is not the monitor size, but its ability to display the higher resolution images. The higher you set the resolution, the smaller the images on the screen will be, and there comes a point at which the text on the screen becomes so small it's not readable. On a larger monitor it is possible to push the resolution very high indeed, but if that monitor's pixel density is not up to par, you won't get the maximum possible resolution before the image becomes unreadable. In many cases the monitor will not display anything at all, if you tell Windows to use a resolution the monitor cannot handle. In other words, don't expect miracles out of a cheap monitor. When it comes to high-definition displays, you definitely get what you pay for. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.

At what version did Jaws stop using, 1024 × 768, as the default screen resolution setting? Thank y'all very much. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.
