Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Mike,

I'm glad this worked for you.
It would be nice to know the exact Registry key created or modified by this 
policy, to make this change on Windows 10 Home Edition, which unlike more 
advanced ones, does not have the Group Policy Editor. Unfortunately I have no 
idea on which key is affected.

Hi Mike and all,

If the confirmation message appears on the screen but JAWS is not saying it, 
perhaps it's helpful to know that in Windows 10 balloons was replaced with 
toasts, which like notifications in the Action Center are handled by the 
ShellExperienceHost process, too unstable like most UWP apps and areas, 
unfortunately increasing.
JAWS 17 and newer have a verbosity setting concerning Windows 10 notifications, 
but it is not as accurate as balloon reading, which was being developed since 
Windows XP.
If you have Windows 10 Pro, there's a group policy which allow to use balloons 
instead of new toast notifications.
Press WINDOWS+R, type the following and then press ENTER:
gpedit.msc
In the three view go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start 
Menu and Taskbar.
When you reach Start Menu and Taskbar, tab to the list view.
In the list view, find the following policy:
Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts

Press ENTER to open properties of this policy, tab to the group of radio 
buttons and change from Not Configured to Enabled, and press OK or ENTER.
When finished, restart the computer for this change to take effect.

By the way, File Explorer and other system and third-party apps which 
previously shown balloons will do that exactly as in prior Windows versions, 
including JAWS ability to simulate a left mouse click.

Hope it helps!

Al, I'm confident there isn't such a keystroke, which would be very useful. 
With Outlook, including 2010, you're not even told what number email you're 
at as you go down the list, a feature Outlook Express had, or has. That's my 
only regret about giving up OE.

However, your mention of a word search makes me wonder which type of search 
you're doing. If you just type a word into the initial search field, you're 
searching only subject lines. The way I search for all words, whether in the 
subject line or the message field, is the following:

Control-shift-f to commence the search.
Tab once
Down arrow once
Shift-tab once.
Now type your search term, then press enter.

Hi everyone,



I am using Outlook 2010

Windows 7 and JAWS 13



In my Outlook inbox I have about 650 e-mails that have already been read.
Sometimes I need to go back to a certain e-mail for references and it takes 
too long to find it in my list.  Is there a certain keystroke that I can use 
to find out what number that e-mail is in my list?  The reason why I am 
asking is because sometimes I would like to go to that particular e-mail and 
I do not want to go down that entire list to find out the one that I am 
looking for.  Sometimes when I do a search for a particular word in the 
e-mail that I am looking for, it does not appear, but I do know that it is 
on my list.



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

As I am trying to explore kindle a bit further, using kindle for pc as
opposed to other forms, I find it impossible to get a fresh purchase, which
appears on my kindle library, be delivered to the pc itself. If I go to
"your kindle content" or "manage content and devices", I can trace the
purchased title, but buttons such as deliver, delete etc, as well as select,
seem entirely inactive when using jaws and they seem checked to the effect
they are not available, while the select does not even appear as a button.
Only if I press "select all" these buttons except for the individual select,
become usable, however the only choice is "deliver all", which again, when
pressed does not appear to do the job. Jaws simply says "deliver all link
button". My computer tech in Athens, who saw kindle through team viewer,
believes there is a problem of accessibility, but before accepting this, I
thought of asking if anyone among our group knows something more, has found
a solution, or can simply inform me definitively that I am trying to do
something which has an accessibility issue.

Kindest regards
and thanks,

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[Scorpio]

Not sure what version of Jaws you're running, but using Windows 10, version 
1709 and the latest version of Jaws 2018, I always get the announcement the 
drive is safe to remove.


Not sure if verbosity settings would affect receiving this message, but my 
computer is over 12 years old, and if I'm still getting the safe to remove 
message, with my verbosity levels set to medium, then everyone else's should 
be getting it too, but again, I don't know what's it's like for advanced 
verbosity users, so take what i said with a grain of salt.


It could also be that you're interrupting speech before you can hear the 
message, because, as I said, I always get it, without fail.

Hello Mike.
I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update.
I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no
longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive.
Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue.  I just assume that
it's safe.  If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the
option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should.
I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS.  If
I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text.  I haven't had a sighted
person look at the screen.
I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message.
On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the
system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted?  Shouldn't JAWS be
removed if it's shut down.  This happens with both insert-f4 and
insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word.  If I shut
JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should.
I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the
alt-tab line up.
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about
disappeared messages.  Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[Rebecca Lineberger]

I have all icons set to display in the system tray.  The safely remove
hardware and eject media is always there, whether I have a drive inserted or
not.
And Adrian, I turned JAWS off from the system tray, and then turned it back
on.  All the extra JAWS icons disappeared.  I did try several of the icons,
and they all were active, allowing me to exit JAWS.

Hi Adrian,

Like you I want the extra confirmation, but although Jaws doesn't report the
message consistently any more the removal process is being completed.  When
the removal process is completed the Safely Remove icon disappears from the
system tray unless you have more than 1 external drive running which I'm
prone to do.  But, let's say you have 3 external drives running and their
drive letters are L, M, & N.  You want to remove drive M, you open the
Safely Remove from the system tray, choose driveM, and press enter.  Now,
Jaws doesn't report the drive is safe to remove, but if you look in,
Computer, driveM won't be showing which means it's safe to remove.

If you're only running 1 external drive, after you choose it from the Safely
Remove icon, and Jaws doesn't report it to be safe to remove, look in,
Computer, and if you don't see it in the drive list it's safe to remove.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Mike, just a thought. Before going to the system tray, do you close the
window displaying that drive's contents? Then does the confirmation show up
in the system tray?

A related point: My tech consultant says that removing an item, such as an
SD card, can be done safely so long as the window is closed. He'd say, then,
that even if you aren't getting that reassuring confirmation, you'll be
okay. Even so, I admit I take the extra precaution of getting system tray
confirmation.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[Mike B.]

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for your reply.  Would you try the steps below to see if they'll 
work for you?
Okay, by doing the following Jaws will report the safe to remove message, 
although not consistently.  I knew I had a note about this somewhere because 
this also happens in Widows 7, and this is how I fixed it:
1. Windows key + I, to open Settings, Navigate to Personalization, and press 
enter.
2. Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which 
icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter.
3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to 
check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to 
remove after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware 
icon.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hello Mike.
I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update.
I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no
longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive.
Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue.  I just assume that
it's safe.  If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the
option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should.
I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS.  If
I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text.  I haven't had a sighted
person look at the screen.
I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message.
On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the
system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted?  Shouldn't JAWS be
removed if it's shut down.  This happens with both insert-f4 and
insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word.  If I shut
JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should.
I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the
alt-tab line up.
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about
disappeared messages.  Smile.
Rebecca

As for those JAWS icons in the system tray, yes, one appears each time you

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[George Martinez Sr]

I have the same configuration as Rebecca.
This week I had a similar issue with a 16gb SD card.  I heard a message
about damage but it always disappeared before I could get to it
 It still worked in my Victor Stream but when I put it back in the reader I
received the same damage message and could not access it to tell Windows to
fix it.  This time I went to This Computer and entered on the drive letter
and it showed NO files & I knew I had 2 books on there.
Finally, today, in frustration, I went by & picked up another SD card and it
works fine for now, transferred 2 new biographies onto it and they are
reading fine.
I am going to try to choose the format option on the old SD card and see if
I get the card back and can use it for a backup.

On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the

if it's shut down.  This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. 
Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word.  If I shut JAWS down and bring it 
back, the menu reads as it should. 
I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the 
alt-tab line up.
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about disappeared 
messages.  Smile.

Hi All,

Running Widows 10 Pro Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.81) with Jaws 16 thru
J2018 latest.  Whenever I want to eject / remove an external harddrive I click 
on the system tray icon, choose the device, and press enter on it, but Jaws 
doesn't report the following:


Safe To Remove Hardware: The 'USB Mass Storage Device' device can now be safely 
removed from the computer.

Can anyone tell me how to get Jaws to report the message above?  Or, what 
setting is supposed to be activated to report the message above?  All help will 
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks mooy moocho.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[Rebecca Lineberger]

Hello Mike.
I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update.
I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no
longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive.
Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue.  I just assume that
it's safe.  If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the
option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should.
I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS.  If
I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text.  I haven't had a sighted
person look at the screen.
I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message.
On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the
system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted?  Shouldn't JAWS be
removed if it's shut down.  This happens with both insert-f4 and
insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word.  If I shut
JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should. 
I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the
alt-tab line up.

Hi Again All,

Okay, by doing the following Jaws will report the safe to remove message,
although not consistently.  I knew I had a note about this somewhere because
this also happens in Widows 7, and this is how I fixed it:
1. Windows key + I, to open Settings, Navigate to Personalization, and press
enter.
2. Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which
icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter.
3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to
check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to
remove after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware
icon.

Please let me know if the steps work for anyone else.

[JAWS-Users] New NoScript add-on layout with Firefox 60

[Cristóbal]

Hello list,

So, I’ve been playing with Firefox 60 and the latest JFW 2018put out this
month. And I’m noticing that with the NoScript extension, now instead of the
various options to disable or enable the different scripts and whatnot on
pages, NoScript now presents you with a webpage with checkboxes instead of
the context menu where you can arrow into the submenu with the different
listed scripts.

I’m finding the new layout to be more tedious and not as easy to get around
and was wondering if there was a way to get the old context submenu layout
back or if this is how it is now? I poked around in the NoScript options and
didn’t find anything that jumped out to get the old layout back.

Thanks,

Cristobal

Re: [JAWS-Users] How can I find out what # a certain e-mail is in my list

[Adrian Spratt]

Al, I'm confident there isn't such a keystroke, which would be very useful. 
With Outlook, including 2010, you're not even told what number email you're at 
as you go down the list, a feature Outlook Express had, or has. That's my only 
regret about giving up OE.

However, your mention of a word search makes me wonder which type of search 
you're doing. If you just type a word into the initial search field, you're 
searching only subject lines. The way I search for all words, whether in the 
subject line or the message field, is the following: 

Control-shift-f to commence the search.
Tab once
Down arrow once
Shift-tab once.
Now type your search term, then press enter.

Hi everyone,

 

I am using Outlook 2010

Windows 7 and JAWS 13

 

In my Outlook inbox I have about 650 e-mails that have already been read.
Sometimes I need to go back to a certain e-mail for references and it takes too 
long to find it in my list.  Is there a certain keystroke that I can use to 
find out what number that e-mail is in my list?  The reason why I am asking is 
because sometimes I would like to go to that particular e-mail and I do not 
want to go down that entire list to find out the one that I am looking for.  
Sometimes when I do a search for a particular word in the e-mail that I am 
looking for, it does not appear, but I do know that it is on my list.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

[Adrian Spratt]

Mike, just a thought. Before going to the system tray, do you close the window 
displaying that drive's contents? Then does the confirmation show up in the 
system tray?

A related point: My tech consultant says that removing an item, such as an SD 
card, can be done safely so long as the window is closed. He'd say, then, that 
even if you aren't getting that reassuring confirmation, you'll be okay. Even 
so, I admit I take the extra precaution of getting system tray confirmation.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws2018 and libre office or open office?

[JM Casey]

HI.

It will work well with Apache Openoffice. LibreOffice is a more regularly
updated suite, but I understand it has some accessibility issues; the
developers seem much more interested in working with NVDA than with JAWS
from what I can tell. I have recently used Openoffice Writer, at least, with
JAWS, and am pretty happy with it. I believe the database and spreadsheet
software also work ok, although I haven't gone that far into them.

Whether you want to use Google Office probably depends on whether you enjoy
the functionality of the "live office" type scenario. I myself much prefer
not having to rely on the Internet and browsers for such things, but if you
feel that's the way of the future, give it a try and see how you like it.

I haven't played with it too much because winamp is still working great on

Hi,
I thought of something. You may want to make a jaws frame which surrounds 
the umute button, give it a keyboard command and tells it to click the 
button inside the frame after routing the jaws cursor there, and only 
appears when it sees you are in chrome and on that website. It only 
activates then. Next, assign it a keyboard command and make it say something 
so you know it worked. And then assign another jaws frame to the play button 
using jaws frames viewer.

Uncheck the language detect option in the Jaws settings. Don’t' recall the 
exact wording, but search for language and it'll come up.

Hi
On my bank’s website, sometimes eloquence switches to Spanish even though the 
whole site is in English. How do I turn off eloquence and jaws switching to 
other languages automatically?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Edge

Having problems with Jaws announceing too much in Edge such as:
entering navigation, exiting navigation, entering search, exiting search, 
entering form, exiting form, etc here’s how to fix this so it works like other 
browsers:

turn off the automatic notification of web page positions in Microsoft Edge 
with the following steps. 

1.  Open the Microsoft Edge browser. 
2.  Press Insert+6, (the 6 on the alphabetic keypad’s number row), to open 
the “JAWS Settings Center”. 
3.  Press the down arrow, and then press the letter “s” to go to the Speech 
Verbosity tree view item, and press the right arrow to open it. 
4.  Press the down arrow once, and note which verbosity level you are 
using. 
5.  Press the down arrow again to “Configure Verbosity Levels”, and press 
the right arrow to open it. 
6.  Press the down arrow until you reach the verbosity level you are using 
and press the Spacebar to open the “Preferences” dialog box. 
7.  Press the down arrow until you reach the “Position Information” 
setting, press the Spacebar to uncheck it, and press Enter to close the dialog 
box. 
8.  Press the Enter key again to save the setting and close the “Setting 
Center”.
After closing settings center, jaws will ask if you want to save the changes 
you’ve made!
Wah lah!

[JAWS-Users] downloading kindle books to the pc library through kindle pc and jaws

[Panagiotis Antonopoulos]

Hi all,

As I am trying to explore kindle a bit further, using kindle for pc as
opposed to other forms, I find it impossible to get a fresh purchase, which
appears on my kindle library, be delivered to the pc itself. If I go to
"your kindle content" or "manage content and devices", I can trace the
purchased title, but buttons such as deliver, delete etc, as well as select,
seem entirely inactive when using jaws and they seem checked to the effect
they are not available, while the select does not even appear as a button.
Only if I press "select all" these buttons except for the individual select,
become usable, however the only choice is "deliver all", which again, when
pressed does not appear to do the job. Jaws simply says "deliver all link
button". My computer tech in Athens, who saw kindle through team viewer,
believes there is a problem of accessibility, but before accepting this, I
thought of asking if anyone among our group knows something more, has found
a solution, or can simply inform me definitively that I am trying to do
something which has an accessibility issue.

Kindest regards
and thanks,

Takis

Re: [JAWS-Users] mail app

[David Moore]

You know!
I reset my laptops, and when I set my accounts in the mail app again, I noticed 
the same thing. I could not access the signature either. That is really weird. 
Thanks for telling us, I will get on the Feed Back app and tell MS about that.
Have a great one!

I have another problem.
Whenever I try to add my signature, I find nowhere to type anything other than 
several buttons such as format button, bold button etc!
I contacted with the disability answer desk and they have no remedy other than 
I copied whatever text I wanted to their chat and they have typed it via remote 
access!

Using jaws 2018.1805.33 ILM
With the current build of windows 10 18 03 spring creators update
Anyone still having problems with the mail app.
Sometimes jaws will only read the subject of my messages and not the body.  
Sometimes when composing an email I can type a message but when I alt+tab to 
check what I’ve written it disappears.
The mail app is very sluggish when I press enter on a message it opens, two 
minutes later jaws announces message body the number of links available then 
the text of the message.
Sometimes the mail app won’t even open.
All of this usually can be resolved by a full computer restart, but it all 
happens again!

[JAWS-Users] Video Chat?

[wayne smith]

Hello all- I need to have a  business call and the other party wants to see
what is on my screen. She is asking me to set up a video chat.  I have never
attempted this before so can somebody tell me if it is possible? I am using
Windows 7 64bit and JAWS 15. I have JAWS 17 on another machine if that would
make a difference.

 

Thanks,

 

Wayne

[JAWS-Users] Help with Foobar2000?

[Adam Morris]

Hi all,
I've switched from winamp to Foobar since winamp takes about two minutes 
to play files.
Are others using Foobar successfully with jaws and if so where can I 
find keyboard shortcuts?
I mostly used winamp for listening to files, jumping to a specific time 
or just moving with arrow keys to move small segments through the file.


I've done a google search but haven't had much luck.
TIA.
