Yes, make sure it just says button and not button checked, use insert+tab to
make Jaws read the tab control and its current setting.

Hey you Windows 10 experts,

 

With Windows 10, When I go into  Settings, Update & security, Windows
Update,Advanced Options, Choose how updates are delivered, I get to a button
with an associated message,

" When this is turned on, your PC may also send parts of previously
downloaded Windows updates and apps to PCs on your local network, or PCs on
the Internet, depending on what's selected below".

It is the "depending on what's selected below".  I can't find the "what's
set below".  How does one see this with JAWS 18?

The other problem is that JAWS doesn't tell me if this is turned on or off. 

 

Any comments?

 

Thanks,

 

Reed

Subject: [JAWS-Users] The insert and escape keys, your best friend part two

The Insert and Escape keys, your best friend part two.

So useing the laptop keyboard layout in Jaws is an advantage, not a
drawback.

Again for this lesson I will call the capslock key the Jaws key and the
numpad insert key, the insert key.

For example: For some Jaws keystrokes you must use the numpad insert key
instead of the capslock key, plus a letter on the keyboard to accomplish a
task.

Example, If you are running Jaws from the system trey, Pressing numpad
Insert+J, Brings up the JAWS options menu window, with the options sub 
Insert+menu
highlighted for you.

Pressing the capslock key, JAWSKey+J, Moves to the prior word and speaks it.

Another example, Pressing the Numpad Insert+H, Places JAWS Hot Keys in the
Virtual Viewer.

You can review them with the Arrow keys, and press the Escape key to close
this window.

Pressing the Caplocks key JAWSKey+H, speaks the current sentence.

So it's very nice to have another Jaws modifier key, to use when pressing
Jaws keystrokes involving the pressing of many keys on the keyboard.

**Now let us look at how to use Jaws layered keystrokes, Insert+Spacebar,
followed by a letter.

This means when you press Insert+Spacebar, you will hear a ding sound, you
then can press a certain letter or key to open one of the many options for
the Jaws layered keystrokes.

For example: Pressing Insert+Spacebar, followed by the ? Question mark, you
will hear:

Search commands press J.

Repeat last background notification from Skype press Shift+R.

Show recent speech history press H.

Clear recent speech history press Shift+H.

View text on clipboard press C.

Select text between marked place and current position press M.

Customize web page with Flexible Web press X.

ResearchIt press R.

OCR Feature Layer press O.

Table Navigation Layer press T.

Switch to your recent Windows Live Messages press Number row 1 through 5.

Text Analyzer press A.

Mute Synthesizer press S.

Lock Keyboard press L.

Toggle audio ducking press D.

So let us look at most of these layered keystrokes one at a time.

**Pressing either the Numpad Insert+Spacebar, or the Capslock Jaws
key+Spacebar, followed by the letter J, opens the search for Jaws 
key+commands
window.

For example, after pressing Insert+Spacebar, followed by J, You are in a
Jaws search for commands edit box, type the word copy, press the tab key,
you are put in a Jaws HTML page of results.

You can use the Arrow keys or H, for heading or Insert+F7, for a Links list,
press the Escape key to close this window.

Below is an example of what comes up, when you type the word copy in to the
Jaws search for commands edit box, and press the Tab key, I have shortened
the results.

*Copy Selected Text To Clipboard. Control + C

Standard Windows copy command, usually found in the Edit menu, any selected
text or items will be copied to the Windows Clipboard. The selected items or
text can then be pasted into another window or application.

*View Clipboard Text. Insert + Space, C

The Clipboard Text Viewer displays all text that has been copied to the
Windows Clipboard using the standard Windows Copy and Cut commands.

*Virtualize Window. Alt + Insert + W

This keystroke displays the text in the current window in the Virtual
Viewer. You can then select the text and copy and paste it to another
application, such as an e-mail message. This is especially useful in error
dialog boxes.

*Select Text Between Marked Place And Current Position. Insert + Space, M

This command selects text between the temporary Placemarker and current
virtual cursor location. You may then use Control+c to copy the selected
text to the clipboard.

*For example: on a website, press Control+Windows+k, to set a temporary
Placemarker at the beginning of the text to be copied.

At the end of the text to be copied, press Insert+Spacebar, followed by M,
all the text in-between has been selected, press

Hi Randall,

Thank you very much for this information.  I've got to tell you that I 
almost didn't get it because your information was at the bottom of the

could be a list rule, that all replies are to be top posted.  In the future 
please put your reply at the top of the message to insure that'll be read.

Hi Mike,



Let me start out by saying the majority of people who have to type with 
one

hand prefer to use the standard keyboard.  They shift their hand from the
traditional "home row" position to the letters F, G, H & I.  They then 
just
learn how to type with their 4 fingers from that position.  If the user 
has

small hands, there are small keyboards designed for users with smaller
hands, or those who activate the keyboard with some type of pointer stick
(see info below on alternative keyboards).  They also find it helpful to
turn on "Sticky Keys" which eliminates the need to hold down keys like the
Shift, Control and Alt.  This is part of Windows7 Ease of Access Center. 
I
am not sure if the Insert key is included in "Sticky Keys", so I'm not 
sure

if it will help with executing JAWS commands.  Here is a link to info on
how
to turn on "Sticky Keys":



http://www.nhs.uk/accessibilityhelp/Using-your-keyboard-one-handed-in-Window

Dragon Naturally Speaking speech to text software is an option, but if
using
it with JAWS it used to be that you had to use an additional piece of
software call J-Say.  At one time only the Professional version of Dragon
worked with J-Say and JAWS.  J-Say allowed JAWS and Dragon to play nicely
together.  To be honest with you, Dragon is not for everyone.



There used to be a way to access a "half-QWERTTY" keyboard and other
keyboard layouts within Microsoft Windows.  Here is a link to some
information, but there is a chance that it is outdated.

https://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/altkeyboard.aspx



There are a variety of alternative keyboards available.  As far as I know
there should not be any problem using JAWS with any of these keyboards
described below.  Just make sure that there is an Insert key.



There are "half QWERTY" keyboards.  You can read about one option,

Matias Half Keyboard & Half-QWERTY 508 Keyboard

http://www.matias.ca/halfkeyboard/index.php?refID=7



Another one handed keyboard is the BAT keyboard.  Here is some info from
the
web, followed by the URL for more info.

Infogrip's BAT Keyboard is a one-handed, compact input device that
replicates all the functions of a full-size keyboard, but with greater
efficiency and convenience. The BAT is easy to learn and use. Letters,
numbers, commands and macros are simple key combinations, "chords," that
you
can master in no time. Best of all the BAT's unique ergonomic design
reduces
hand strain and fatigue for greater comfort and productivity. The BAT is
the
ultimate typing solution for persons with physical or visual impairments
and

These days there are many options for mini keyboards.  I have no idea of
the
quality of one verses the other, but here is 1 of many examples available
from Staples.

Hi All,



I know of someone that is attempting to teach Jaws & the computer to a

child

that has only 1 arm.  I've done some searches for 1 handed keyboards, but 
I


really don't know what to look for.  Does anyone have any, or know of any

information that I can pass along to this teacher, so she can get this

little one going on the right path?!  I've heard somewhere that it's

possible to make a standard QWERTY keyboard swap, so that when after

invoking a keystroke the letters swap sides, so to speak.  So that if you

are typing from the QWERTY side, then you invoke this keystroke, you're

then

typing the letters from the other side of the keyboard.  All help & input

will be greatly appreciated!  Come on folks lets get this little one going

on the right path!  Thank y'all very much.

Take care.

There are a variety of alternative keyboards available.  As far as I know
there should not be any problem using JAWS with any of these keyboards
described below.  Just make sure that there is an Insert key.



There are "half QWERTY" keyboards.  You can read about one option,

Matias Half Keyboard & Half-QWERTY 508 Keyboard

http://www.matias.ca/halfkeyboard/index.php?refID=7



Another one handed keyboard is the BAT keyboard.  Here is some info from the
web, followed by the URL for more info.

Infogrip's BAT Keyboard is a one-handed, compact input device that
replicates all the functions of a full-size keyboard, but with greater
efficiency and convenience. The BAT is easy to learn and use. Letters,
numbers, commands and macros are simple key combinations, "chords," that you
can master in no time. Best of all the BAT's unique ergonomic design reduces
hand strain and fatigue for greater comfort and productivity. The BAT is the
ultimate typing solution for persons with physical or visual impairments and
is proven to increase productivity when used with graphic or desktop
publishing software.

These days there are many options for mini keyboards.  I have no idea of the
quality of one verses the other, but here is 1 of many examples available
from Staples.

Hi All,



I know of someone that is attempting to teach Jaws & the computer to a

child

that has only 1 arm.  I've done some searches for 1 handed keyboards, but I

really don't know what to look for.  Does anyone have any, or know of any

information that I can pass along to this teacher, so she can get this

little one going on the right path?!  I've heard somewhere that it's

possible to make a standard QWERTY keyboard swap, so that when after

invoking a keystroke the letters swap sides, so to speak.  So that if you

are typing from the QWERTY side, then you invoke this keystroke, you're

then

typing the letters from the other side of the keyboard.  All help & input

will be greatly appreciated!  Come on folks lets get this little one going

on the right path!  Thank y'all very much.

Take care.

Mike

[TheHangMan]

Reed,
press windows I for settings, tab once, when you hear system,  press the
right arrow across to  update and security press enter.
Now, use the tab key and listen to all your windows optionsnn,  it should
tell you the status, if your pc is up to date and last time it was updated,
if not tab to update now  and if it was updated, it would say update button
=no update needed. ,
Remember check means on and when you  hear button Means off in all the menu
settings, In windows 10, the pc updates it self and drivers and re-starts as
well.
Wonderfull thing!

Hey you Windows 10 experts,



With Windows 10, When I go into  Settings, Update & security, Windows
Update,Advanced Options, Choose how updates are delivered, I get to a button
with an associated message,

" When this is turned on, your PC may also send parts of previously
downloaded Windows updates and apps to PCs on your local network, or PCs on

It is the "depending on what's selected below".  I can't find the "what's
set below".  How does one see this with JAWS 18?

The other problem is that JAWS doesn't tell me if this is turned on or off.



Any comments?

The Insert and Escape keys, your best friend part two.

So useing the laptop keyboard layout in Jaws is an advantage, not a
drawback.

Again for this lesson I will call the capslock key the Jaws key and the
numpad insert key, the insert key.

For example: For some Jaws keystrokes you must use the numpad insert key
instead of the capslock key, plus a letter on the keyboard to accomplish a
task.

Example, If you are running Jaws from the system trey, Pressing numpad
Insert+J, Brings up the JAWS options menu window, with the options sub 
Insert+menu
highlighted for you.

Pressing the capslock key, JAWSKey+J, Moves to the prior word and speaks it.

Another example, Pressing the Numpad Insert+H, Places JAWS Hot Keys in the
Virtual Viewer.

You can review them with the Arrow keys, and press the Escape key to close
this window.

Pressing the Caplocks key JAWSKey+H, speaks the current sentence.

So it's very nice to have another Jaws modifier key, to use when pressing
Jaws keystrokes involving the pressing of many keys on the keyboard.

**Now let us look at how to use Jaws layered keystrokes, Insert+Spacebar,
followed by a letter.

This means when you press Insert+Spacebar, you will hear a ding sound, you
then can press a certain letter or key to open one of the many options for
the Jaws layered keystrokes.

For example: Pressing Insert+Spacebar, followed by the ? Question mark, you
will hear:

Search commands press J.

Repeat last background notification from Skype press Shift+R.

Show recent speech history press H.

Clear recent speech history press Shift+H.

View text on clipboard press C.

Select text between marked place and current position press M.

Customize web page with Flexible Web press X.

ResearchIt press R.

OCR Feature Layer press O.

Table Navigation Layer press T.

Switch to your recent Windows Live Messages press Number row 1 through 5.

Text Analyzer press A.

Mute Synthesizer press S.

Lock Keyboard press L.

Toggle audio ducking press D.

So let us look at most of these layered keystrokes one at a time.

**Pressing either the Numpad Insert+Spacebar, or the Capslock Jaws
key+Spacebar, followed by the letter J, opens the search for Jaws 
key+commands
window.

For example, after pressing Insert+Spacebar, followed by J, You are in a
Jaws search for commands edit box, type the word copy, press the tab key,
you are put in a Jaws HTML page of results.

You can use the Arrow keys or H, for heading or Insert+F7, for a Links list,
press the Escape key to close this window.

Below is an example of what comes up, when you type the word copy in to the
Jaws search for commands edit box, and press the Tab key, I have shortened
the results.

*Copy Selected Text To Clipboard. Control + C

Standard Windows copy command, usually found in the Edit menu, any selected
text or items will be copied to the Windows Clipboard. The selected items or
text can then be pasted into another window or application.

*View Clipboard Text. Insert + Space, C

The Clipboard Text Viewer displays all text that has been copied to the
Windows Clipboard using the standard Windows Copy and Cut commands.

*Virtualize Window. Alt + Insert + W

This keystroke displays the text in the current window in the Virtual
Viewer. You can then select the text and copy and paste it to another
application, such as an e-mail message. This is especially useful in error
dialog boxes.

*Select Text Between Marked Place And Current Position. Insert + Space, M

This command selects text between the temporary Placemarker and current
virtual cursor location. You may then use Control+c to copy the selected
text to the clipboard.

*For example: on a website, press Control+Windows+k, to set a temporary
Placemarker at the beginning of the text to be copied.

At the end of the text to be copied, press Insert+Spacebar, followed by M,
all the text in-between has been selected, press Control+C to copy all the
text.

*Append Selected Text To Clipboard. Insert + Windows + C

With the Freedom clipboard, text will be appended to the clipboard, adding
it to the clipboard at the end of the previous clipboard content. Using a
Copy To Clipboard command instead of an Append To Clipboard command will
erase any previous clipboard content and replace it with the new content.

**To show recent speech history from Jaws, press Insert+Spacebar, followed
by the letter H.

Begin pressing the up Arrow key to hear the most recent speech history of
Jaws.

Use the normal select and 

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows settings

Yes, make sure it just says button and not button checked, use insert+tab to
make Jaws read the tab control and its current setting.

Re: [JAWS-Users] 1 Handed Keyboard

[Annette Carr]

Hi Mike,

 

Let me start out by saying the majority of people who have to type with one
hand prefer to use the standard keyboard.  They shift their hand from the
traditional "home row" position to the letters F, G, H & I.  They then just
learn how to type with their 4 fingers from that position.  If the user has
small hands, there are small keyboards designed for users with smaller
hands, or those who activate the keyboard with some type of pointer stick
(see info below on alternative keyboards).  They also find it helpful to
turn on "Sticky Keys" which eliminates the need to hold down keys like the
Shift, Control and Alt.  This is part of Windows7 Ease of Access Center.  I
am not sure if the Insert key is included in "Sticky Keys", so I'm not sure
if it will help with executing JAWS commands.  Here is a link to info on how
to turn on "Sticky Keys":

 

http://www.nhs.uk/accessibilityhelp/Using-your-keyboard-one-handed-in-Window
s-7.html#content

 

Dragon Naturally Speaking speech to text software is an option, but if using
it with JAWS it used to be that you had to use an additional piece of
software call J-Say.  At one time only the Professional version of Dragon
worked with J-Say and JAWS.  J-Say allowed JAWS and Dragon to play nicely
together.  To be honest with you, Dragon is not for everyone.

 

There used to be a way to access a "half-QWERTTY" keyboard and other
keyboard layouts within Microsoft Windows.  Here is a link to some
information, but there is a chance that it is outdated.

https://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/altkeyboard.aspx

I am sorry, I don't know anything about a onehanded keyboard. But there is a
program that may help this boy, if he is sighted, Now for some unknown
reason, I can't think of the name of the program now. But the software can
let the boy control his computer with his voice. It is a pretty good
program. It will control Jaws and most other things he wishes to do on the
computer. He can search for webpages, read the pages, fill in blanks and
most everything that he wants just using his voice and a microphone. I am
sorry that I can't remember the name of the software just now. But I am sure
that others will know and if you think that this will help just ask for the
name of the program and I am sure someone will tell you. I tried to use the
program and it worked really good. But as I can't see at all It was limited
for me. But if the user can make out the screen I think that it would be a
great boon to the user. Good luck in trying to help this boy.

reason, I can't think of the name of the program now. But the software can
let the boy control his computer with his voice. It is a pretty good
program. It will control Jaws and most other things he wishes to do on the
computer. He can search for webpages, read the pages, fill in blanks and
most everything that he wants just using his voice and a microphone. I am
sorry that I can't remember the name of the software just now. But I am sure
that others will know and if you think that this will help just ask for the
name of the program and I am sure someone will tell you. I tried to use the
program and it worked really good. But as I can't see at all It was limited
for me. But if the user can make out the screen I think that it would be a
great boon to the user. Good luck in trying to help this boy.

Hi All,

 I know of someone that is attempting to teach Jaws & the computer to a
child  that has only 1 arm.  I've done some searches for 1 handed keyboards,
but I  really don't know what to look for.  Does anyone have any, or know of
any  information that I can pass along to this teacher, so she can get this
little one going on the right path?!  I've heard somewhere that it's
possible to make a standard QWERTY keyboard swap, so that when after
invoking a keystroke the letters swap sides, so to speak.  So that if you
are typing from the QWERTY side, then you invoke this keystroke, you're then
typing the letters from the other side of the keyboard.  All help & input
will be greatly appreciated!  Come on folks lets get this little one going
on the right path!  Thank y'all very much.
 Take care.
 Mike

Re: [JAWS-Users] when using any media player jaws volumelowers considerably

I understand that, but when you migrate settings from the repaired version
you wriskc importing some of the hiccups that may have been the problem in
the first place.

What if you want to save the way you like JAWS to do things so you don't
have to re-configure it every time? I hate having the keyboard echo on, for
example, and can never remember how to stop the enter key et al from
announcing themselves. It usually takes me ages to remember where to go to
change the settings. That's why I thought saving configurations would be a
good idea.

Now that this question has gone to the list, I'll copy most of a message I
sent Jorge last night. Maybe someone's memory here will be jogged. 

I could swear I'd read something about using JAWS with one hand. I also
recall a list member was a former bomb diffuser expert who lost his vision
and an arm when a bomb went off. However, he hasn't contributed for a long
time, and I can't bring his name to mind. 

I've done several google searches, but without getting anything specific for
JAWS. The best website I found looks like an application or perhaps a
device, TypeAbility, that would work with JAWS but cost something (I didn't
check how much). Here's that link:

Hi Jorge,

Look at all the information I sent you off list.  Changing key assignments
via the keyboard manager might help a little, but what the child needs is a
keyboard designed for 1 handed typists to achieve the necessary goals /
skills that the child needs to use the computer with Jaws.
Take care.

Hi,
Can someone instruct me on how to change the function of a key and give the
function to another key in the keyboard, especially if I want to change the
hot key aroundthe to make it easier for a handicap child to use jaws better
and easier,

Thanks in advance,

Jorge
