FYI, on this. The deck talk sapi that is used by the different screen readers was made just for those readers. So using any part of it is considered a hack of the copy rights.

In the more current version of JAWS, has this issue been resolved? This is coming from a person with no useable vision. Many Thanks.

Somebody suggested I contact MS but I recall when I called them several years ago it cost $25 an hour. I don't have that kind of money!

Re: [JAWS-Users] System Restore Question
The only way I think you can get any speech in safe mode is with NVDA and a USB soundcard. Here is a post from a different list by a guy who has a method to get speech in safe mode. He doesn't use Jaws though. Hi, for all the techies who havent heard about this yet. audio in safe mode, download the keys from the sendspace link at the bottom Instructions while in safe mode I use NVDA as the screen reader, then dont need to install the video driver. how to use the keys if windows can boot ok windows is running then just press enter on the key, activate sound in safe mode.reg you need to say yes this will add keys to the safe boot tree in the registry that will enable the audio service to startup now you can boot into safe mode using the following 2 methods 1. press windows r to open the run box in the run box type, msconfig press enter the system configuration window will open either shift tab once to get up into the tabs use the right arrow, or use control tab find the boot tab its called the Boot tab in windows 7, boot.ini tab in xp once on the boot tab, start tabbing through the options you will find boot option Safe boot, you need to check this then tab once more you will find radio buttons use the arrow keys to choose either minimal or network if you are trouble shooting a connection issue you want network support, then choos network note, if you choose network, while you are connected to the internet you have no securety running. if you dont want network support, then choos mimimal now just tab to the ok button hit the space bar. on xp you will get a window saying need to restart, on windows 7 you will not recieve this need to restart the system yourself. while booting up, if you have user accounts setup, it will hang on this screen wait for you to choos a user put in the password On xp when the system boots into safe mode you will here the windows log on sound then you will hear a ding sound, the ding is a window stating you are in safe mode, just press enter to say ok. You will not get this ding sound in windows 7. dont forget things in safe mode are a lot slower, so wait a while for the desktop so on to load before you try to start NVDA In xp when you get NVDA running you may find a system configuration window saying, is in selective mode so on, I normally tab to never show this again check it, then tab to ok Once you are finished doing what you want to in safe mode, you need to go back into msconfig into the boot tab uncheck boot into safe mode. If you dont do this, you will just keep starting up in safe mode. 2. reboot after the bios screen hit f8, once the options come up, choos safe mode or safe mode with networking. how to use the keys If windows is broken wont boot up normaly boot into safe mode plug in a USB stick, I have named mine zebra, so all I do is open computer, by pressing windows e, press z, this then lands me on my stick then go into the stick I press, A to land on activate sound with safe mode.reg then hit enter on it, then hit enter again to say yes, and the keys are set. then you need to reboot back into safe mode for the audio service to start up. If the onboard audio doesnt startup, then you will need to use a USB headset. It works great its a reall help when trouble shooting issues. get the registry keys from http://www.sendspace.com/file/n9khxf Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook address book woes and observations
Note that in Outlook 2007 there are a couple of radio buttons that are important. Open the address book and tab around until you find one of two options: Name Only More Columns. If the radio button for, More Columns is checked, you will not see any names displayed. Arrow to the Names only radio button, and you should see the names that are not currently visible.

Speaking of spell check, since the latest update to Jaws, my spellcheck keeps telling me word is not available and I can tab to suggestions and usually figure it out but sometimes I really need to see the word that is incorrect.

Actually if you go into options and proofreading, you should be able to find a checkbox or check spelling before sending, personally I wish everyone would keep it turned on, based on some of the messages I see, and this goes for sighted users as well is blind.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook and Jaws
If you use the insert v option you can find an item to set that setting. I am not enamored with the search box on the quick settings only because I seem never to remember the name of what I am searching for an get no results or things way off target. Maybe if you type in header, you will find it but I find I am almost always going through 90% of the list to find what I am looking for. This was especially annoying when I was trying to set up IE nine to make a sound on a link, which I had to do from the insert F6 item instead of the quick settings. Maybe it is because I use 9 at work and am so used to the old configuration manager, I just find the setting center and quick settings more difficult to use, then again, probably once I set everything to my liking when a new Jaws is out, then seldom go there again, I am just not familiar with it, it probably would be nice, if I needed to use it more.

I know that a Miss Margret on here especially would love it as she has mentioned her frustration of DECTalk Access32 not working with anything higher than jaws 10. IN fact, this is of interst beyond this jaws list as a sapi version of DECTAlk would work not only with jaws but anything that supported sapi. I know nvda users would love to have another light-weight but better sounding synth to use with nvda. I had heard about a sapi version being worked on but not of it having been released. so why not just post the homepage of the program or is it being sold by GW Micro as DECTalk Access used to be? Also the price tag would be intersting to know. Anyway, I think we all would benefit from the information and not just me. Maybe this shiny new DECTalk was released just in time for Christmas? Thanks for any Information! Eagerly and curiously awaiting your reply!

All of a sudden, out of the blue, the voice came from my speakers as high pitched and as fast as possible. No matter what I tried, I could not get the DecTalk to function, so I uninstalled JAWS 11 totally and then reinstalled it. I had DecTalk working beautifully and guess what? The voice did the same thing, coming through my speakers as rapidly and as high pitched as possible. Now I have removed the DecTalk and am using SAPI DecTalk, so I'll see how things go from here. I like the external synthesizer because I do not like JAWS coming from the same speakers music or movies come from. Has anyone experienced anything like this? If so, were you able to get DecTalk USB to function without this nonsense happening?

Re: [JAWS-Users] say all in Jaws 12
My bad news is that if I fixed the problem, it was only temporary or I didn't really fix it because I encountered the same issue just now, reading an article that had been pasted into an email and Jaws stopped cold and When I looked to see where I was, I was back at the beginning of the article.

You will get the searchbox that you are getting familiar with on your Win 7 machine where you hit the windows key and start typing and it auto-completes the entry for you. In this case with Jaws, after you press insert-6, just type page, for example, or refresh. When you hit down arrow, you will hear Jaws announce your search result. Just press enter and then spacebar will alternate through your choices. You want the page refresh filter turned off or suppressed. Hope that helped.

But very often, if I use say all to read a long email or an article on the web, Jaws stops reading suddenly and I am returned to the beginning of the article or email. Has anyone encountered this and is there a solution? I've resorted to reading line by line. Or, occasionally, if I use say all and remember the last phrase I heard, I can find it again with Jaws Find and continue. I emailed FS when this happened and they made one or two suggestions, but these didn't work. I haven't had occasion to see if the problem exists in word.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows Keystroke for Symbols List
Hi, Windows XP and probably other versions of Windows have the Character Map. You can get to it by going into the start menu and going to programs and then accessories and then system tools. When you get to system tools, you hit right arrow to go into that menu and then arrow down until you hear the words character map. I think that it is the first option in that menu.
