Thank you for a more in-depth description of the process. Imagine me wondering how I would navigate to a web page, download a file to give my tablet speech without having any in the first place. If I could do that myself then you folks would be looking for another JAWS list because it would be of no further use to me.
So my thoughts that there would be no way at all a blind person could do it themselves is basicly confirmed. I figure you have to place an ILM key on it as well, he stated hoping for confirmation on that as well.

I did download the program and put the file on a SD card and hooked it up to the tablet and installed through this process. You might also turn off the user account settings, where you have to give permission to install new programs. My friend found where to do this and he did it. I do not recall how he did it. -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 6:56 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 8.1 computer.

I imagine it is something I could figure out, but since the wheel has already been invented.

I am going to have one givento me in two weeks. I recently purchased a windows 8.1 tablet and installed jaws 16 on it. I have not used it much, so I still know very little. I did find an utility that provides a start menu option: it is called "istartmenu." It is either free or shareware.

I am going to have one givento me in two weeks. Hi first I do use windows 8.1.1 and I find two things that help me and yes I use JAWS 16. One first using the desk top I have put the programs on it that I use all the time. Two I have put the most important ones on the task bar and use windows 1 up to windows 9 to get the ones and I put them in order of importants this makes it easy. I always have email in one and getting my documents there was hard but it is in two and then in three is Firefox and on and on. I love that I can open them in anywhere I am so in email I can open new word document or go anywhere else and go back by hitting email one again or use alt tab. I put on desk top things that are only used less often. I find that tab or shift tab is very helpful in some areas. If you have any questions ask for information and I will try to answer. One more thing that I use a lot is application key or on lap top computer shift f10. This is one of the areas you will find things to help you.

I am going to have one given to me in two weeks. If one, or some of you, who have windows 8.1 could give me some tips and tricks on how to use windows 8.1 with jaws 16, I would really appreciate it. I am a W7 computer user now, and I want windows 8.1 to be as easy to use as possible. You can write me off list, at, jazzpi...@ca.rr.com, or, post here, but I am thinking about all the traffic we get on this list, so anything any of you can do to ease the transition, will be really appreciated. Smile. thanks.
