Re: [JAWS-Users] word docx to notepad txt

[Mike B.]

Hi Kevin,

This is how I would do it using Word 2010, so Try the following:
1. With the .DOCX file open press, Alt + F, then press the letter, A, to 
open the, Save As, dialogue.
Note: If you want to change the name of the file, after invoking the above 
keystrokes you're in an edit field, so you can change the name of the file 
here.
2. Tab 1 time to the Save As Type combobox, navigate to, Plain Text.txt, by 
arrowing or 1st letter navigation.
3. Press enter on, Plain Text.txt, tab through some other options to the, 
Okay, button & press enter.
Note: After you've highlighted the Plain Text option instead of pressing 
enter you can tab through some other options to the,Save, button if you 
would like to explore the other options in this dialogue, then after 
selecting the, Save button, then tab to the, Okay button, & press enter.
Take care.  Mike.  Dodgers, try again next year!

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 2018, Firefox, and returning an audible book

[Mary Otten]

This message is directed at those folks who are using jaws 2018 with Firefox 
and are audible subscribers. Audible offers the ability to return a book if you 
don’t like it. When you are on the screen that is listing your audible orders, 
and you press enter on a “return“ link associated with a given book, there is a 
window that comes up within the window or, according to my sighted husband, 
it’s sort of behind the window where the focus was. You can get to it with a 
mouse, which is what he did. But I’m wondering if there is a way to put focus 
on this window, which allows you to complete the return process. Ideally, when 
you press enter on the “return“ link, jaws would focus on this new window where 
you need to take action to complete the process.

There have been several questions about OCR and saving the scanned 
results.

This is what I did.  This is a bit detailed, so delete as you please.
Smile.

I'm using Windows 10 1709 Creator update, Jaws 2018 and Word 2010.

I have several image files saved so was able to test using these formats"
PDF and JPG.

Rather than first opening the PDF file, waiting for the

"alert, empty document,"

message,  and then scanning with the layered keystrokes, insert-spacebar, 
o, then d,


with the PDF file selected in a folder in Documents, I used the context 
menu key, also known as the application key, and arrowed down to


Recognize with JAWS.

I pressed enter and after a second or two, JAWS said

Started.

The scanned information was there to read.  I was able to select and copy 
it with the usual Windows commands, either shift-down arrow to select, or 
control a, to select all, and control c to copy.


I then pasted the results into Word, and there it was, to be saved as 
usual.
I did not try to save in Notepad, assuming that if all worked in Word, 
notepad would be no different.


As to the second format,  a print letter with an embedded picture, scanned 
in Kurzweil and saved as a JPG image, it worked a bit different.


All went the same until I pasted the copied information into Word.  Again, 
I used the context menu key on the file name to arrow to


Recognize with JAWS.

I was told that the image was right-side up, and there was the text 
waiting to be read.  But when I copied and pasted it into Word, Word was 
not happy, smile, and kept giving me information about


non-uniform tables, row and column information.  Rather than playing with 
my table settings in the JAWS quick settings menu, I figured notepad might 
be a better option in this case.


When I pasted the same copied results into notepad, the file read as it 
had when scanned by JAWS.


At this point, just because I prefer saving in Word, I reselected the 
information in notepad, copied it, and pasted it into Word.  Word was no 
longer cross, muttering about tables, so all was well.


For those who have made it to the end, HTH.  Smile.

[JAWS-Users] windows defender

[anna vimini]

I am having a problem with windows defender all of a sudden in the 
action center it says that windows defender is protecting my computer 
but I do not have windows defender the only thing is that I have is an 
icon of windows defender in my control panel that when I use to enter it 
said that windows defender is turned off and now all of a sudden it just 
has the scan page listed when you enter the icon in control panel and 
when I went into windows update it had a definition ready to down load 
for it.


my windows fire wall is off

I am very puzzled by this

when I enter my McAfee live safe program which I have as my anti virus 
program it says that everything is turned on including the personal fire 
wall but it is no longer listed in action center how can I fix this so 
that it is McAfee live safe listed in action center and not windows 
defender?


and another question I have is since windows defender is listed in 
action center does this mean that it is turned on and if so how do I 
turn it off?

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Schwab

[Adrian Spratt]

Thanks, George. In fact, Schwab has entered into what's called a "structured 
settlement" concerning accessibility, and it has people specifically assigned 
to handle website accessibility. However, I think they really fell short in the 
planning of this completely revised website. 

For example, information that used to be presented compactly but in different 
areas is now combined into single huge tables, but the tables aren't formatted 
to be read easily by screenreaders, at any rate, JAWS. You don't get column 
headings or row names. 

Also, there's now a complicated navigation structure that I'll need to organize 
with the help of placemarkers. The problem today was that this structure isn't 
intuitive to a screenreader user, and so it took me ages to get anything like a 
feel for how it works, and I'm still wasting time re-analyzing it. 

Other time-wasting annoyances are that the main content on a page is given a 
heading at level 4, which means you need to press h over and over before JAWS 
recognizes that level. I tried r for "region," but it has the same problem that 
you need to press it several times and a separate problem in that you don't 
know when you've landed in the region you want. 

The day began with my computer crashing several times when I tried to get past 
Schwab's log-in screen with IE11. I finally resorted to Google Chrome. Firefox 
had other problems, but in that case I have to suspect my JAWS quick settings. 
For example, I discovered that by having turned off "inline frames" in order to 
navigate the NY Times, I'd prevented JAWS from recognizing edit fields on the 
Schwab site. I fixed that, but I'm still having problems with Firefox and 
Schwab.

I'll be curious to hear about your experience with it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Schwab

[George Martinez Sr]

I have a small Schwab account but go there rarely.
My son is a Senior Manager with them and coming by in a few hours to watch a
UofA basketball game with me.  I will ask him about this and put it back on
the list.

Does anyone on the list use the Schwab website? They've changed it today,
and I'm finding it a nightmare. Another JAWS user friend of mine is not
experiencing these changes, which makes me speculate that they're rolling
them out at different times in different regions.

Hello Mary:

J-Say is a British program that has been around for years, a wrap-around Dragon 
Natural Speaking, designed for people with limited or no hand mobility.  I had 
to learn it years ago in order to teach a younger blind person with Multiple 
Sclerosis and was surprised how well it works.  You can indeed give commands to 
the computer or dictate to it, it accommodates different accents, even 
understood perfectly my Cuban-accented English.

Having said that, I still would not use it unless you have trouble typing; it 
requires patience and with the advent of Cortana and the rapid updates to all 
that new Windows technology, I would go that route instead.

As far as J-Dictate, I have no idea, never used it.

Hi, James. I suggest you post specific questions as you encounter problems. 
Otherwise, guides are available. I'm sure CathyAnne Murtha has one. For others 
that might be less expensive, Google the appropriate search terms.

Re: [JAWS-Users] adding an address from within a message using outlook 2016

[ely.r]

James,
I would join George and add one suggestion. If you have access to Bookshare, 
there are many books about Microsoft products for users. I did a quick search, 
and though there are none specifically for Office 16 products, there are a 
number for version 13 including ones that cover Outlook. There are always some 
changes in newer version, but think books on the previous iteration would 
provide a good starting point. 
Good luck and don't give up,
Rick

James,
Not at all sure how this Subject and question got on top of the below emails 
but...
Outlook in general and 2016 in particular is a very powerful email, calendar, 
projects, notes etc. program.  The rule of thumb with computer programs is the 
more powerful the longer the learning curve and less "friendly."
There are a lot of very smart & experienced people on this list but none of 
them can give you more than a quick start with Outlook.  
You are going to have to spend some money for tutoring or spend some quality 
time with Mr. Google researching like the rest of us did & still do.
For instance a recommended Google search, "Outlook 2016 adding a contact" or 
"Outlook 2016 adding a folder"  
You will find very good answers with this type of search and many times they 
are written by Microsoft Software Engineers.

but...
Outlook in general and 2016 in particular is a very powerful email, calendar, 
projects, notes etc. program.  The rule of thumb with computer programs is the 
more powerful the longer the learning curve and less "friendly."
There are a lot of very smart & experienced people on this list but none of 
them can give you more than a quick start with Outlook.  
You are going to have to spend some money for tutoring or spend some quality 
time with Mr. Google researching like the rest of us did & still do.
For instance a recommended Google search, "Outlook 2016 adding a contact" or 
"Outlook 2016 adding a folder"  
You will find very good answers with this type of search and many times they 
are written by Microsoft Software Engineers.

Hello Mary:

J-Say is a British program that has been around for years, a wrap-around Dragon 
Natural Speaking, designed for people with limited or no hand mobility.  I had 
to learn it years ago in order to teach a younger blind person with Multiple 
Sclerosis and was surprised how well it works.  You can indeed give commands to 
the computer or dictate to it, it accommodates different accents, even 
understood perfectly my Cuban-accented English.

Having said that, I still would not use it unless you have trouble typing; it 
requires patience and with the advent of Cortana and the rapid updates to all 
that new Windows technology, I would go that route instead.

As far as J-Dictate, I have no idea, never used it.

Regards,

Humberto

I’m guessing this question might be seen as a bit too general to be of interest 
to the list. So please feel free to reply privately if you want. I don’t want 
to clog the list with stuff folks don’t care about. I am curious about the J 
dictate and J say. I read the blurb on Brian‘s website. I certainly don’t need 
to control my entire computer via voice. But there are aspects of it that sound 
like they could be rather useful. I mean, if you can really use natural 
language to do all sorts of stuff, finding things changing settings etc., 
without having to memorize all the stuff that goes with that in terms of 
keyboarding and what keystroke does work, it could be kind of nice. Anyway, 
please do feel free to reply off list at the address I will put right here. I 
guess I’m looking for Star Trek. Smile.

Very much appreciated, Rebecca. I’m glad this is possible. I had actually 
looked at the FS site about their Openbook program, although I’ve been a K1000 
user for a very, very very long time.  But it looks like OB doesn’t run 
under win-10 based on what I saw, which would be a show stopper for sure for me.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS OCR

There have been several questions about OCR and saving the scanned results.
This is what I did.  This is a bit detailed, so delete as you please.
Smile.  

I'm using Windows 10 1709 Creator update, Jaws 2018 and Word 2010. 

I have several image files saved so was able to test using these formats"
PDF and JPG.

Rather than first opening the PDF file, waiting for the 

"alert, empty document,"

message,  and then scanning with the layered keystrokes, insert-spacebar, o,
then d, 

with the PDF file selected in a folder in Documents, I used the context menu
key, also known as the application key, and arrowed down to 

Recognize with JAWS.

I pressed enter and after a second or two, JAWS said

Started.

The scanned information was there to read.  I was able to select and copy it
with the usual Windows commands, either shift-down arrow to select, or
control a, to select all, and control c to copy.

I then pasted the results into Word, and there it was, to be saved as usual.
I did not try to save in Notepad, assuming that if all worked in Word,
notepad would be no different.

As to the second format,  a print letter with an embedded picture, scanned
in Kurzweil and saved as a JPG image, it worked a bit different.

All went the same until I pasted the copied information into Word.  Again, I
used the context menu key on the file name to arrow to 

Recognize with JAWS.  

I was told that the image was right-side up, and there was the text waiting
to be read.  But when I copied and pasted it into Word, Word was not happy,
smile, and kept giving me information about 

non-uniform tables, row and column information.  Rather than playing with my
table settings in the JAWS quick settings menu, I figured notepad might be a
better option in this case.

When I pasted the same copied results into notepad, the file read as it had
when scanned by JAWS. 

At this point, just because I prefer saving in Word, I reselected the
information in notepad, copied it, and pasted it into Word.  Word was no
longer cross, muttering about tables, so all was well. 

For those who have made it to the end, HTH.  Smile.

Rebecca
