Re: [JAWS-Users] Australian English voice pack for jaws

[JM Casey]

Hi.

What synthesizer are you using currently? Which synth did you download? I
believe Vocalizer Expressive 2.0 will not work with older JAWS version than
17, or maybe 18. So you must pick one of the other synths. You might have to
enable the synth in utilities, synthesizer manager under the JAWS menu, as
well.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well, wherever you are.

I use jaws 16 on a laptop computer for work. I just tried down loading the
voice pack for jaws.
I installed it, restarted the pc but jaws is still not announcing any new
voices in the voice settings.

Can anyone tell me what I am not doing, or doing wrong please?

Many thanks, and my apologies, I'm a little bit technologically challenged!

Thank you Naomi. That's good to hear. I didn't get a chance to play with it
today because I was having connectivity issues til late in the evening and
had to go out. What would you say *doesn't* work so well, then?

Hi there,

I just reactivated myself on linked in, it is not fabulous, but is workable

I am able to edit my profile, access most of the drop down lists to update
job etc.
I think with a bit of playing around you will be just fine.

Hey everyone.

The time has come for me to join this service. Of course, I'll be conducting
my own investigations, starting today. I just wondered if anybody had
thoughts, observations, and so on, about this site "for professional social
networking. Any accessibility, usability, and so on - type concerns I should
beware of? I did look at the site some years ago and remember thinking it
was a bit messy. At the time I figured I really had no need for it. Well,
things have changed, so I'm going to have to get on-board whether I like it
or not.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox updates/accessibility

[cheez]

I've found, that when asked if you want to save your password, it tells you 
to press the spacebar, then press alt plus n.
After doing that, you either press Y or N.  That's what I did and do and it 
works.
As far as stopping it from asking all the time, I never really checked into 
it.  Perhaps someone else on this list will know the answer to that.

Hey Wayne.

You should get the Firefox 52 ESR release, if you want to keep using JAWS
with Firefox. ESR stands for "extended support release". It has all the
features of Firefox 52, with the current security updates. Definitely a
better idea than stopping updates. And it will work with JFW, hopefully,
until Freedom Scientific gets their act together and makes their
screen-reader work with Firefox. I only say this because the new version,
version 58, works great with nVDA, and even the landmark first "Quantum" 
57

works with that screen-reader as well, though some folks reported issues.

As for the passwords, there is a way to turn this prompt off in settings,
but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Search around and you will
hopefully come across it. When the password prompt appears, you can tab to
"don't save", and the message will disappear. There may be an alt-key
combination for this, but I don't know what it is. Someone on the list
might, or I'll come back here tomorrow when it's not some ridiculous hour.

Hello all-



I am finding more and more websites that do not work well or, in some 
cases,

at all with IE 11.  I have Firefox on my computers but I have stopped
automatic updates because people on this list warned that the more recent
updates are not accessible.  I am now getting warnings that there are
security risks in not updating.  Your thoughts would be appreciated.



Related to Firefox again, when I enter passwords using FF I get this
annoying announcement, "Do you want to have Firefox save this password?"
How do I say no?

It never occurred to me to do anything except to go to the website and find the

basically, I use Newsline to look through the book review section of the New

newsday, if I receive an interesting headline in an email from the paper. But 
it would never occur to me to do anything complicated to read material from 
Newsline. Additionally, I've discovered that sometimes, the publications they 
have don't include all of the material that's actually in the issues or 
sometimes, only partial articles are there.

That's due to the fact that Freedom Scientific insists on bundling FSReader, 
its own daisy reader with its installations.

NFB Newsline, when it detects a Jaws screen-reader in use, won't let you read 
daisy files in another program except to use FS Reader.

If you want to use your Outlook program to do it, you'll need to unload Jaws 
and use an alternate screen-reader.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws Latest Update Direct Download Links + What's New

[Mike B.]

Hi All,

Below are the direct download links for the February Jaws update, 
J2018.1802.78, + what's new in this release.

32 Bit:

http://jaws2018.vfo.digital/180278JA45TX/J2018.1802.78enu-x86.exe

64 Bit:

http://jaws2018.vfo.digital/180278JA45TX/J2018.1802.78enu-x64.exe

What's new in this release:
Enhancements in JAWS 2018.1802.78 (February 2018)

The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS 2018 between the 
December 2017 update and the February 2018 update.

To download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.

JAWS
list of 12 items
. When you open an inaccessible PDF file in Adobe Reader which normally just 
reports: "Empty Document", JAWS now displays a dialog box asking if you want
to perform OCR directly on the file. Choose Yes to have JAWS recognize the 
image and display the text in the Results Viewer or choose No to close the 
dialog
box without performing OCR. This is the same as using the layered command 
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, D to OCR a document. We are now proactively offering 
this
for all JAWS and Fusion users when we recognize that scanned PDF files have 
been opened in Acrobat Reader.
. When you press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by QUESTION MARK for help with 
layered commands, the list of keystrokes is now displayed in the Results 
Viewer
to make them easier to review.
. You can now press Right Shift+DOTS 1-2-3-7 from a Focus braille display to 
toggle the JAWS Screen Shade feature.
. The commands to read the next or previous word (CTRL+RIGHT ARROW and 
CTRL+LEFT ARROW) will now continue to speak when Speech On Demand is active. 
Note
that due to the way keystrokes are handled in Microsoft Office applications, 
these commands will continue to remain silent in Word documents and when 
editing
Outlook messages. In addition, speech is now available in Keyboard Help 
(INSERT+1).
. Resolved an issue with the INSERT+B command not reading the contents of 
certain dialog boxes if Speech On Demand was enabled.
. If Speech On Demand is active, resolved an issue where pressing 
ALT+CTRL+NUM PAD 5 to read the current table cell was not working.
. The Convenient OCR item located in the JAWS Utilities menu has been 
renamed to OCR Options.
. Resolved a customer reported issue with the Stock Quotes Research It 
lookup source not returning results as expected.
. Addressed an issue with the Convert Currency Research It lookup source in 
the Spanish version of JAWS not returning any results.
. When navigating the Outlook calendar in Month view, resolved a customer 
reported issue where Vocalizer Expressive voices were saying "comma" before 
each
date.
. Resolved sluggishness issues with the Customize Outlook Message List 
dialog box accessed from the Run JAWS Manager dialog box (INSERT+F2) while 
focused
in an Outlook message folder.
. Addressed JAWS visual highlighting issues in Windows 7 for a custom set of 
Office scripts distributed by Papenmeier.
list end

Google Docs and Sheets
list of 2 items
. Improved JAWS performance with Google Docs when Braille support is 
disabled. While you will find that JAWS is now more responsive even when 
Braille mode
is off, we still recommend that you enable Braille support even if you do 
not use a braille display to get the best overall experience with navigating
and editing documents. For instance, moving by character, word, and line is 
much more reliable, and you can also use the JAWS table reading commands for
easier navigation of tables. If you need JAWS to announce certain document 
features such as footnotes, endnotes, or comments, you will need to turn off
Braille support at this time to access this information. To toggle Braille 
support on or off, press ALT+SHIFT+A to open the Accessibility menu, open 
the
Settings submenu, and press ENTER on Enable Braille support.
. JAWS now supports Google's new Braille Mode in Google Sheets. When Braille 
Mode is enabled in Google Sheets, you will be able to read the current row
of cells on the braille display and press a Cursor Router button over a cell 
to move focus to it. The coordinates, cell headers, and cell data are shown
for the current cell, with the content of surrounding cells also displayed 
but separated from each other by a | character.
list end

Microsoft Office
list of 10 items
. Addressed an issue with Outlook closing unexpectedly when opening certain 
messages.
. Resolved an issue with JAWS not reading as expected in the Insert Item 
dialog box which is displayed when you choose Outlook Item from the Insert 
tab
when composing a message.
. Resolved an issue where JAWS was sometimes saying "0 items" when focused 
returned to the inbox after closing or deleting a message.
. Addressed reported issues in Outlook with JAWS becoming less responsive 
under certain circumstances when composing a message.
. Addressed issues with reviewing attendee information when creating a 
meeting request in Outlook.
. When pressing F2 to edit a cell containing a formula, resolved an issue in

the links. I have several publications in My Favorites although I must admit
that basically, I use Newsline to look through the book review section of
the New York Times on Sunday and to look at any important news story in Long
Island's newsday, if I receive an interesting headline in an email from the
paper. But it would never occur to me to do anything complicated to read
material from Newsline. Additionally, I've discovered that sometimes, the
publications they have don't include all of the material that's actually in
the issues or sometimes, only partial articles are there.

That's due to the fact that Freedom Scientific insists on bundling FSReader,
its own daisy reader with its installations.

NFB Newsline, when it detects a Jaws screen-reader in use, won't let you
read daisy files in another program except to use FS Reader.

If you want to use your Outlook program to do it, you'll need to unload Jaws
and use an alternate screen-reader.

[JAWS-Users] Thoughts on LinkedIn

[JM Casey]

Hey everyone.

The time has come for me to join this service. Of course, I'll be conducting
my own investigations, starting today. I just wondered if anybody had
thoughts, observations, and so on, about this site "for professional social
networking. Any accessibility, usability, and so on - type concerns I should
beware of? I did look at the site some years ago and remember thinking it
was a bit messy. At the time I figured I really had no need for it. Well,
things have changed, so I'm going to have to get on-board whether I like it
or not.

Steve, thanks for replying. I solved the problem. It may seem obvious, but it 
wasn't to me. Although I couldn't get FS Reader to open the file when it was an 
attachment, it did open it after I saved that attachment and clicked on it 
again.

I took it out for a test drive yesterday and got the following results. It 
was easy enough to configure an email account, but that was the only 
positive thing I can say about it.


I made sure first to install the latest update to the JAWS scripts posted 
last week which turned out to be not very helpful at all.


The fact is until either side starts working toward being more accessible 
don’t bother with the program. The thing is it probably wouldn’t take much 
to make it work better as it configured my outlook account automatically 
which live mail will not do on its’ own.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] NFB Newsline and JAWS

Hi. Will someone who reads NFB Newsline attachments with JAWS give me some
tips on how to do it?

Background. I've just upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2016. With Office
2010, I made a file association between .XM> files and MS Word in order to
read one of the Newsline attachments. Not ideal, but workable. But this file
association produces nothing readable with Word 2016.

I just re-tried opening the Newsline .OPf attachment with FS Reader 3.0.
This file extension allows me to open files from other sources with FS
Reader; however, still not those from NFB Newsline.

Any ideas?

[JAWS-Users] windows updates seem to be stuck

[anna vimini]

I do not have windows defender so that can not be the problem, I have 
McAfee live safe but I have seemed to have fixed the problem for now


I am just wondering if I clear the windows update history if that would 
work the next time it happens so is there any one on the list that knows 
how to clear the windows update history?


Thanks in advance

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows updates seems to be stuck
I've had Windows update get stuck like that using Windows 10. Seems 
Windows Defender and Windows update don't always play nice together. So 
I went into
Windows defender, checked for and applied updates, then reran the 
Windows update again. So far, it  fixes the problem for me.

Hello all-



I am finding more and more websites that do not work well or, in some 
cases,

at all with IE 11.  I have Firefox on my computers but I have stopped
automatic updates because people on this list warned that the more recent
updates are not accessible.  I am now getting warnings that there are
security risks in not updating.  Your thoughts would be appreciated.



Related to Firefox again, when I enter passwords using FF I get this

Re: [JAWS-Users] NFB Newsline and JAWS

Hi Adrian,
This is perhaps not what you want, but I just go to their web page and
choose what I wish to read.  I've put the newspapers and magazines I read
most often into a Favorites List.  When I go to that link, there they all
are.  I can choose to read by sections, or read the full paper, which is
what I always do.  I just go down by heading or by specific heading level.
I don't use Outlook at all for this.  If I find an article or recipe I want
to save, I just copy and paste it into Word.

Can anyone tell me what version of Jaws works with version 10 of Magic?

I have a client that has  Jaws 15 and is authorized for Magic 10 but I get a
message that says this version of Magic only works with an earlier version
of Jaws.

I realize that these are old versions but this is all she has.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi David.

That may well be true. I don't know what is going on behind the scenes. All
I know is that FF 58 is really, really fast, robust and awesome with NVDA.
It even worked with the previous nVDA version that came out last year, which
I had on my computer until recently.

Hey Wayne.

You should get the Firefox 52 ESR release, if you want to keep using JAWS
with Firefox. ESR stands for "extended support release". It has all the
features of Firefox 52, with the current security updates. Definitely a
better idea than stopping updates. And it will work with JFW, hopefully,
until Freedom Scientific gets their act together and makes their
screen-reader work with Firefox. I only say this because the new version,
version 58, works great with nVDA, and even the landmark first "Quantum" 57
works with that screen-reader as well, though some folks reported issues.

As for the passwords, there is a way to turn this prompt off in settings,
but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Search around and you will
hopefully come across it. When the password prompt appears, you can tab to
"don't save", and the message will disappear. There may be an alt-key
combination for this, but I don't know what it is. Someone on the list
might, or I'll come back here tomorrow when it's not some ridiculous hour.

[JAWS-Users] OE classic

[David Ferrin]

I took it out for a test drive yesterday and got the following results. It was 
easy enough to configure an email account, but that was the only positive thing 
I can say about it. 

I made sure first to install the latest update to the JAWS scripts posted last 
week which turned out to be not very helpful at all. 

The fact is until either side starts working toward being more accessible don’t 
bother with the program. The thing is it probably wouldn’t take much to make it 
work better as it configured my outlook account automatically which live mail 
will not do on its’ own.

[JAWS-Users] Editing or removing reviews on IMDB

[JM Casey]

Hey everyone. Are there any IMDB members here? I'd like to edit some of my
reviews. It's three in the morning and maybe I'm just being dense, but I
can't seem to find the link to do this. I'm stuck on the very beginning of
the instructions. You see, I looked at the help page, and it says this:

"To edit or remove a review you posted, go to your "Your Activity" page and
click on "Your Reviews". Click the 3 dots at the top right of your review
and

select either 'Edit' or 'Delete' depending on your request. You can delete
your own review however an edited review must go through the approval
process

again, which means it must meet our 

current criteria

for reviews (line count, word usage, etc.)."

 

So, what is this "your activity" page? They even put it in quotes, like it's
exactly what it should be called. I've looked at my profile page, reviews,
the main home page .. I cannot seem to locate this page. I see the reviews
on my profile, but do not see this ellipsiks they are referring to.

 

Any ideas, by chance?

 

Thanks.
