Re: [JAWS-Users] I wont to chane the star Punctuation to say something else
mike thanks for that, the space after the star in the application dictionary, done the trick. the home budget program i have is an old version which work very well. Cheers Robin. --- Email Sent using, "Becky!" Internet Mail Client version 2.73". Email: bob@ntlworld.com Hi Robin, I have been experimenting with the, *, dictionary tweak, & Jaws only reported UnReconciled when typing a password if I tweaked the Default JDF dictionary manager, but not when I tweaked the Word JDF dictionary manager. The Word JDF dictionary manager was my experimental application. But, if I changed the tweak to,* , a star then a space, in the default JDF dictionary manager, then used a space after the star in the Word application JDF dictionary then everything worked as it should all the way around. What I'm trying to say is if you want the,*, to say, UnReconciled in a home budgit, then add a space after the star in the application dictionary, but then you'll also have to put a star then a space in front of any entry in the application as well. If I've totally confused you by now, just let the list know what application you want to use, & I'll type up a set of steps that'll get it done for you. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] new to jaws
Mike many thanks for that got things sortedd. it will save me from going mad!! I find jaws very bloted after window-eyes. Cheers Robin.. --- Email Sent using, "Becky!" Internet Mail Client version 2.73". Email: bob@ntlworld.com Hi Robin, Read through the steps below first before doing anything to give you an idea of what you're going to be doing. Note: The apostrophy & dollar sign are only examples. You can change how Jaws speaks the apostrophy in the Settings Centter default all applications by doing the following. If you only want to change the punctuation settings in a particular application just open the Settings Center while in the particular application by pressing Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Settings Center for that particular application: 1. Press Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Settings Center, & press, Control, shift, + D, to open default all applications. 2. Arrow down to, Punctuation closed & press right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to customize punctuation & press the spacebar to open. Don't press enter here, if you press enter instad of the spacebar, the Settings Center will close. 4.A. When making changes in the customize punctuation list, if you do not want Jaws to speak/recognize a particular punctuation mark you want to choose the " all " selection. You will have 4 radio buttons to arrow up or down through. They are none, some, most, & all. In these selections they work backwards than what you would think. For example; If you choose " none " for the dollar sign, Jaws will speak / recognize every dollar sign in whatever you are reading. On the other hand, if you choose the " all " radio button, Jaws will not speak / recognize any dollar signs. 4.B. After you pressed the spacebar on customize punctuation, you are now in a list of punctuation marks. Arrow down the list and when you have the punctuation mark you want to change highlighted, tab 1 time to the radio buttons that I mentioned earlier. 5. Keeping in mind what I mentioned earlier about these choices working backwards, select the box in this list, in your case not wanting any apostrophy's spoken, choose the all button. 6. Now, if you want to make a change to another punctuation mark, shift tab back to the list and highlight a different punctuation mark, tab back to the radio buttons and select the box you prefer. 7. After you are done making your changes tab to okay and press the spacebar. 8. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close the Settings Center. Now, I hope that you are not as confused as I am after typing all of this. LOL Hope this has helped. - Original Message - From: Robin To: jaws list Sent: Monday, February 19, 2018 8:13 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] new to jaws how do i silence the simble . bullet. mmany thanks.

[JAWS-Users] How to make your default windo Maximized every time you open an application
Folks, I received this from a co-worker and it works so very well. If anyone finds that this does not work please notify me. To make your windo maximized every time - Open the IE 11 (or any other application window) and size the window to your liking (in our case we want it maximized Windows up arrow or alt + spacebar +x Check to ensure by using JAWS + F10 arrow down to your application and it should say `maximized` Then tap escape - Now press ALT + spacebar (this will open up the System menu), then arrow down until you hear `Close` -, Press CTRL + Enter to close the program - This will set the IE window (or any other selected application window) to open at the maximized setting every time.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS crashing
Hi, Speaking strictly for myself during the most recent two crippling shutdowns this method failed as something in the jfw hang caused me to not be able to impact the cursor by using keyboard commands thus even if I got into the shutdown menu I could not by any means known to man machine or beast move the cursor off of shutdown nor could I invoke the shutdown that supposedly had focus. It is a sad sorry state of affairs when it afflicts one and I never saw it before the most recent build of jfw 18.

At this point, pressing the letter R will restart the computer and pressing the letter U will shut your computer down. I am not saying it is a better way, just another way, and it is always good to have a backup.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Live Mail Irratation
Hi, I have no answer for the problem but can verify experiencing it as well and suspect that since support for the program from Microsoft will be ending in early 2017 it might only get worse over time. That's why I've begun using Microsoft Outlook and I'm sure fans of other programs will chime in as well with their favorites. While it's true that as long as one has an installer for the program and can get it up and running it will remain usable this highlights one of the problems that comes with continued use of such programs which won't continue to evolve to integrate into newer operating systems or to handle newer protocols or security concerns.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and itunes support
Hi, I've seen nothing in writing that would indicate such and would find such an assertion suspect in the highest degree as it doesn't seem like it's serve its maker's purpose to even state such a thing if indeed they even had. Just my two cents no one asked for. Speaking of JFW and iTunes I made Apple Accessibility aware of a bug whereby when syncing something like music or ringtones if you choose sync selected tracks or tones screen readers are unable to read the resulting list view from which you can check your selections. If others are so inclined feel free to join in drawing Apple's attention to it in hopes it can be fixed as they acknowledge it's their issue not one lain at the feet of screen readers.

To address your last questions first, you can create a new profile in the JAWS Voices dialogs that retains what you already have but that adds features. For example, in a given profile, you can select a specific "person" for certain tasks, such as one for the PC cursor and another for the JAWS cursor. You can also select the rate at which that person speaks. I think the easiest way to get what you want is to start from your existing default and tab through the Voice Adjustment dialog options. You'll see the ones I mention. In this case, choose a "person" to speak the voice you want to verbalize messages and select the rate. Then when you arrive at "save," consider giving the resulting profile a new name. this way you don't lose your settings in the old profile but can test how the new settings sound with the new profile. As for re-hearing messages, one technique that often works is to press the numpad's left mouse button twice quickly. When you mention "history," are you referring to the JAWS layered command for the last several (one hundred?) verbalizations? If not, try it. I've found it rarely works for me.

For all the iTunes users. iTunes 12.3.317 is out today. Funny thing when I opened my iTunes today, it told me that there was an update. I tried like usual using Jaws 17, to go through the iTunes update normally in which I have no issues doing to update iTunes. Today however it failed twice. So, I went to ninite.com and downloaded and ran it from there with no issues. This seems to be my week with facing all kinds of issues.LOL. Yesterday, I added some audio files to my OneDrive group download page. Microsoft wanted me to use the groove music app to play them from OneDrive. That was fine. But they had a stupid ad trying to get me to buy it for all my devices. They had a get started button, but know way to decline the dumb thing. I had to recreate my OneDrive shared folders on my desktop giving them a slightly different name. I then copied all the tutorials from the old folders to the new ones. I stopped sharing the old folders and deleted them. I put the new OneDrive folders in sink with my computer. I got a share a OneDrive link for both folders individually. I then had to switch to Jaws 16 to make changes to my Yahoo group settings, Jaws 17 still will not work doing this task. Both my OneDrive group download pages are working correctly now. Seems like Microsoft is trying to integrate all their programs together. This is a challenge all by itself, we don’t need all the ads to complicate things even more. Are any of you who are using Jaws 17 to update iTunes having any problems? Thanks for listening. Now time for more coffee. Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

I would like to pick your brains with this one. Jaws is running. I press insert spacebar s and jaws announces speech off. I press control alt n and NVDA starts. I turn off speech on NVDA using insert s, NVDA announces speech mode off. I press the pass through command for NVDA wich is insert f2. Then I press insert spacebar s and jaws announces speech on. Fantastic I figured this one out but things can never be easy a new problem arises. I can't at this point use my up and down arrow keys to read in a word document or email jaws absolutely says nothing. If I try arrowing up and down on the desk top jaws reads everything on my desktop as usual. Any ideas how to solve this one?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Kangaroo computer and JAWS 17
Here is some info for those that did not google it: InFocus, an American electronics company has announced the launch of Kangaroo. Size: 124mm length, 80.5mm width, and 12.9mm girth, is roughly the size of a smartphone. It comes with a removable base unit, which has an HDMI port, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, and a DC power port. The device weighs just 200 grams (without adapter and power cord), and even features a Windows Hello fingerprint sensor it is powered by a quad-core Intel 'Cherrytrail' Atom x5-Z8500 processor clocked at 1.44GHz, with a Burst frequency of 2.24GHz. Other features include 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 32GB of eMMC storage, which you can expand via microSDXC card (up to 128GB) should you need more storage. The battery is suggested to last four hours under "casual use", the portable PC also has a Micro-USB port for charging. I think one can use this port for a headset if your headset is adapted with an adapter female 3.5 to male MicroUSB the Kangaroo runs Windows 10. The mini-PC features Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity. About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes. I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be testing it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and usb keyboard and headset as well as without the docking station using Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems to be what I was looking for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI to connect to screen or IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen using the HDMI port.

Size: 124mm length, 80.5mm width, and 12.9mm girth, is roughly the size of a smartphone. It comes with a removable base unit, which has an HDMI port, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, and a DC power port. The device weighs just 200 grams (without adapter and power cord), and even features a Windows Hello fingerprint sensor it is powered by a quad-core Intel 'Cherrytrail' Atom x5-Z8500 processor clocked at 1.44GHz, with a Burst frequency of 2.24GHz. Other features include 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 32GB of eMMC storage, which you can expand via microSDXC card (up to 128GB) should you need more storage. The battery is suggested to last four hours under "casual use", the portable PC also has a Micro-USB port for charging. I think one can use this port for a headset if your headset is adapted with an adapter female 3.5 to male MicroUSB the Kangaroo runs Windows 10. The mini-PC features Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity. About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes. I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be testing it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and usb keyboard and headset as well as without the docking station using Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems to be what I was looking for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI to connect to screen or IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen using the HDMI port. However, I just need speakers ( no headphone jack) thus the use of the micro USB port for wired headset may be useful) and a keyboard.

Since if memory serves it has an internal battery, it'll keep on going while off the dock until you put it back again.

Can anyone give pointers as to why I can't get anything to happen with the f keys? Thanks for any help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] disable quick start in win 10
Hi, Forgive me for jumping in on this thread but Kevin's instructions say you have to turn off requiring a password to disable this. I didn't think you needed to do that. can someone clarify as I wouldn't want to disseminate erroneous information but I truly didn't remember having to have done that as I'm still logging into windows with a pin and my machines are still set to require one but I did disable fast startup myself. thanks bunches for clarifying.

Another reason, is the quick start is why people are not hearing a sound when they shut their computer off or turn it back on. Also, the quick start does not shut the computer totally down, so it is not the same as a complete shut down. I do not like the quick start for all of these reasons.

Not even the windows start up sound. The computer automatically shuts down in about a minute and half, after I press the start button. Without sighted help how do I get it to start in safe mode? Since narrator has been so good in windows 10, will it allow me to do a system restore? Sighted help might arrive, sometime tomorrow.

[JAWS-Users] FSOCR Executible File
Folks, I just found out today that the FSOCR executable file that you need for the "OCR" portion of JAWS is a different file for each version of JAWS. Only the "size" of the file changes. The name stays the same. So please ensure when you down load JAWS you also download the FSOCR file that goes with your JAWS version. For some reason Freedom Scientific is not changing the name or version number so the only way to tell is by the size of the executable file. And, no I do not know if the latest file of the same name is backward compatible with previous versions. Maybe in the future they will address this.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dvdvideosoft free youtube to mp3 converter
Hi, when last I looked which was last week it was right on the same page as the regular download just below it with the classic designation. while the current non-classic version is more accessible than the one that preceded it you still can't access options which limits a lot of functionality so for now the classic version is still the best bet in my view. Note: once installed the classic version will sadly keep alerting you at each launch that there's an update but that doesn't pertain to itself. I contacted them to see if they could make it so it only alerts users to updates for the classic version but have heard nothing back as of yet. I hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] november windows 10 update
Hi, With all due respect I can't speak authoritatively as I don't work for them but I can say that when I renewed just a few weeks ago I was specifically told that my SMA's were for versions 18 and 19 specifically. So I'd be careful not to assume that they can be used for any future version regardless of number. For if that were so people wouldn't have to pay for multiple upgrades in order to catch up if they were a few versions behind. Just a thought.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws activating wrong link why?
Hi, I can confirm this behavior. It's happened a few times to me recently on Amazon.com. I was on the your orders link. It verbalized your orders but somehow after entering on what verbalized as your orders I ended up on a page for sellers on amazon. thank goodness for alt left arrow. I could reproduce this at will so I think I can safely say it wasn't user error in this case. As for its cause or solution such still escapes me but I can indeed confirm the behavior you report.

One more thing, what is the latest revision of windows live mail?

But windows key enter also will fire up narrator. If we can fire up narrator, why go to the ease of access and then go to narrator? Can't we elimate the middle man and use just the narrator with a new computer for the first time? I hopefully will have a new computer myself here around thanks giving and or Christmas. So thanks.

Next, press Alt + the letter N, to start Narrator. Be patient, Narrator may take a few seconds to start talking. From this point, you should be able to navigate the pre-setup screens using the tab key and arrow keys. Once you have completed this process, Windows should load the desktop, at which time you can install Jaws.

I chose one that uses Windows 7 because I have MS Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 and they serve my needs. I am charging the computer now. When I turn it on for the first time it will have no speech capability so I don't know if it will show instructions or updates on the screen. I will load my JAWS 15 SMA CD and run it. Are there any traps or problems anybody has experienced in starting their laptop for the first time? Would it be a good idea to have sighted help for that initial start? Any wisdom will be appreciated.

[JAWS-Users] Application, regions, Headings, lists
Folks, when first opening up a web page and JAWS tells me I have 1 application, several regions, several headings, and several links I know how to jump to the regions, links, and headings. However, is there a keystroke to jump to the application JAWS shows as being on a web page? robin For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
