[Blind-Computing] Headset recommendation?
I am looking for a recommendation for a decent headset. I bought a cheaper Phillips one a while back but the left ear speaker gets distorted lately, having to tap it to get it to stop, and when Skyping and working at the same time , my buddy down the street has gotten pretty good at understanding Jaws these days haha. Evidently the mic is good enough to pick up the headphone. It is not picking up Jaws directly, just overhearing the headphones. I'd like something that is more enclosed, maybe something that doesn't have the elastic foam covers that invariably and continually fall off. and has a decent quality. USB would be OK. The one I have now hooks to my sound card's mic and speaker inputs with 3.5mm jacks. Money is an object, but so is rebuying later, so I'm looking for a decent set. Thanks in advance and won't clutter list with each reply/response unless you have a question. Brad Dunse Logic will get you from A to B.

[Blind-Computing] Outlook Tutorial/tips?
I am a brand new Outlook user and trying to get use to the various tree menus and etc. I've organized some folders to help out but I wondered if there were any tutorials or tips on how to set it up for efficiency use or shortcuts/hot keys not listed in Jaws? I looked at the Outlook info in Jaws supported programs but wondered if there were any other sources out there. Blind Cool Tech has a couple demos on adding tasks/appontments/rules but that is all.

Re: [Blind-Computing] password managers
I like the idea of not having it on the computer, excellent. I noticed with this program though if you hit ESC it wil exit without saving or prompting you to so if one is entering a bunch of info at one time and inadvertently mix up software behavior with other programs you could lose your info and have to re-enter it. Just as long as you don't assume it is saved immediately or upon exiting. That is something I wished he'd have put in there. Is this little beauty working in Seven?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Screen Resolution
Rick, Its set at 32 bit highest. I'll check on the display adapter issue. I don't believe I'm having an issue with Jaws not speaking correctly at this resolution setting, unless its not reading something it ought and I just don't know, but its been like this for years. I was curious why the higher resolution stops Jaws from talking. Maybe I ought set it as such, reboot and have a set of eyeballs at the ready to return it back if needed 'smile'. Honestly I'll be working on a new computer within the next six months so this old XP machine will likely be history in the relative near future and an eventual moot point. Thanks.

[Blind-Computing] iTunes For Windows, F6 and no search results
Running XP Pro, Jaws 12, iTunes Version 10.2.1.1. Is there a fix for the F6 not working once you are in iTunes Store and in the results area as it will not let you out? And more importantly no matter what I put in for a search string, iTunes will only pull up the same junk of American Idol, Justin Timberlake, latest hits, movies, TV shows, and anything else they have on that main page. It won't find anything I type in the search field.

Re: [Blind-Computing] iTunes For Windows, F6 and no search results
OK this worked. I think the difference was instead of pressing enter in the search box I was pressing F6 again which was according to an earlier tutorial on navigating iTunes. Much thanks. I'd swore I'd pressed enter before a few times before to try to work this out but maybe I was too impatient for the results or something, I don't know. . Either way it works and I'm super grateful. Brad On 3/20/2011 12:22 AM for...@lode.is said... F6 is broken (Apple broke it in 10.2). It's annoying but iTunes is still usable. The tricky part is to get out of the iTunes store but there's a workaround. To search the iTunes store: - Select the iTunes store from the sources list. You should hear a woosh-sound - this means that the page has loaded/refreshed. - Now press F6 and you should land in the search box. Type in what you are looking for and press Enter and wait for the woosh-sound. - Press F6 to move focus to the iTunes store. You may need to wait a while (I had to wait afew seconds) before you start navigating the store. Press ctrl-home to move to the top. JAWS should announce iTunes Store or something similar. You are good to go. You can now navigate your search results with standard web navigation (virtual cursor) - When done or if you want to perform a new search: Press Ctrl-Alt-f. This will move focus to the search box. Repeat the steps above to perform a new search. If your intention is to get out of the iTunes store: Press Ctrl-Alt-f to move focus to the search box. Then press Shift-F6 and you should be back in the sources list. This works, but let's hope Apple fixes the F6 key soon. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Brad Dunse' Sent: 19. mars 2011 22:53 To: Blind Computing Subject: [Blind-Computing] iTunes For Windows, F6 and no search results Running XP Pro, Jaws 12, iTunes Version 10.2.1.1.

Re: [Blind-Computing] iTunes For Windows, F6 and no search results
John, The F6 button, once in the results area of iTunes does nothing in some PCs. Once you are in there you are stuck. Tabbing and shift tabbing only tabs you through links there in that window. The CTRL Alt F routes you to the search field outside the results area where you can once again use F6 or shift F6. I did get the results area to work which is navigable by the normal web based navigation keys such as H for headings, L for lists etc. Its all good now but thanks for replying I appreciate that very much. Brad On 3/20/2011 11:04 AM john justice said... Usually, the search info can be found by tabbing through the other junk as you called it. Your search results if any, will probably be found later on in the display. As to the f6 question, I don't quite understand what you're driving at.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Windows 7 Maximum ram
I suppose it depends on the speed of the processor, width/speed of the front side bus, and if you use the system heavy or not. I think there is a limit to how much added RAM will help speed. e. g. drinking one can of Red Bull might wake you up to do stuff faster but 4 cans isn't going to help much in that direction, you'll only go so fast anyway :).

Re: [Blind-Computing] Windows 7 Maximum ram
That is True for session usage if speed is not the intent. There is a balance with the rest of the system there. However, I run 1 gig of RAM and really don't have much of any issues unless I get a bit lax in closing apps not being used plus running larger ones. . One could increase virtual memory too. Depends if you are running a lot of audio software/processing yes but if it is average use even running Jaws, I'd be saving the RAM bucks towards a newer machine if it is an older XP machine. If bucks are an issue and one is running large programs and that would help with access to them yeah I might then drop some green for RAM :). Brad On 4/15/2011 09:07 AM East, Robin said...

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS couldn't read winamp playlist anymore
Had you tried closing WinAmp and restarting? Same goes for Jaws? Jaws has a nasty habit when running for long times, on my system anyway, of mucking up application key strokes. I've had it disable some hot keys, and otherwise not red properly if I hadn't shut it down and restarted it. I suspect when you restored teh reboot of Jaws and perhaps yrou system helped. If you hadn't, in the future I'd try just rebooting your system to see if that works. If you'd done this, perhaps you installed another program or driver just prior to this happening? Brad On 5/2/2011 01:55 PM Chris Feist said... HI. I just did a system restore, and it fixed this problem. But I thought I would ask about this, just in case someone might have an idea, and I can avoid doing whatever I did again. Today, I was wanting to start a new playlist. I wasn't able to get rid of the playlist already loaded in Winamp. I thought a control N would clear it, but it didn't. OK. So, I tried a number of different keystrokes. I tried control F4, and a few others I don't' recall. When all was said and done, when I would go to the playlist, it wouldn't read the tracks anymore. It would be blank, or it would act like it was trying to read the ddesktop. I checked, and it said my skins were still set to classic, so apparently I didn't change that setting. I don't know what I did to mess it up, but it was a doozie. Any thoughts? I mean it's all well and good now since the system restore seems to have fixed it. But that was a disturbing turn of events that I wouldn't have expected. It goes to show that just pressing keys to see what will happen is not such a great idea as some advise to do. This is version 5.581. Anything newer I already tried and it was a total disaster, so I don't intend to ever upgrade Winamp again until I'm forced to. Chris Feist - The one and only!

a electronic message from the keyboard to other devices. More expensive keyboards capture the intensity (how hard the key was pressed) as well as the note. It can also be used, with a separate MIDI connector, as an output of the computer back to the musical keyboard. This could be used to playback music previously captured from the keyboard, perhaps slightly modified. Many bands heavily use this interface between keyboards, sequencers, drum machines, and so on. A real musician can step in here and elaborate. Computers can be attached to these devices to perform many tasks. There is software to capture what you play on the keyboard, to playback, mix with other sources and manipulate. The options are endless. Software can replace most functions of an entire studio or control instruments during a live performance. I even heard of software that could generate sheet music of what was being played on the keyboard. You would need hardware that provides these MIDI connectors. I used to have a SoundBlaster card that had these connectors. They probably have many different external boxes that connect to your computer by USB and converts to MIDI signals. I guess the musical keyboard manufacturers could build such an interface into the keyboard and provide a cheaper, more convenient connector. I have not heard of such a keyboard. I even had such a converter box for my Commodore 64! That was confusing because the MIDI connectors are identical to the serial cable used by the hard drive as I recall. Again, those more musically talented can recommend software once they get a better idea what you would like to do. *Don Marang* Vinux Software Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org http://www.vinuxproject.org/ There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter. -- Dean Kamen On 5/28/2011 11:07 PM, acart...@juno.com wrote: Hi list, It's AC.

Re: [Blind-Computing] skipe
Do you have a separate sound card just for Jaws? What system are you using? XP? It sounds to me like you could possibly have your settings in Volume Control set to What I hear and then have your microphone muted. I'd look in your Skype settings as was mentioned to you before, if you are running a seperate sound card for Jaws, it might be defaulting to it in Skype. If you are running just the one card, check your Volume Control. If using XP do this: 1. Windows key and press P until you hear All Programs and right arrow once. 2. Press A until you hear accessories and right arrrow once 3. Arrow down until you see Entertainment and right arrow again once 4. Down arrow to Volume Control and press enter. 5. When Volume Control opens press the ALT key and wait for the menu to open and then press up arrow once to Properties and press enter 6. In there you'll find what sound cards you have. If more than one, find the one your system uses for its sounds, playing CDs etc. Then tab once until you see the setting choices for play back and record. Arrow to the recording option and press enter. Tab until you hear it say What you Hear, as you tab the next check box status you hear will be for it, if it is checked you'll need to keep tabbing until you hear Microphone, then it'll have some volume and balance percentages and maybe an advanced button and again a check box.

Re: [Blind-Computing] skipe
How about we take this back a bit. A. Do you have two sound cards or one? For instance a physical card or integrated device along with an interface of some sort or USB headset that can act as a sound card? B. Can you record anything in another program using your microphone? GoldWave, SoundForge, etc? C. When you do the echo test call and press Jaws or PC cursor, does it come through the test call? If so does it sound up close or distant? Can you hear your voice at all doing this? D. In Skype, going to the Tools then options menu, and arrowing down to Audio settings what devices show up in the first combo box? I'm running an XP machine and haven't poked around on a Win 7 or virtual machine yet. You can try typing in Volume Control there to see if it finds it. They might just call it Volume?

Cliff. How do you know the properties are unavailable if you can't find the file to look at them? Other than the obvious that the file isn't there. If it is lost. If you know the file name or even part of it, try a Windows Key plus F to search for it in the directories you think it might be in, or just search the entire drive. When you find it then with it highlighted in the results area of the search, try Alt Enter to view the file properties. You can also use apps key, or right click it. If you see it is misplaced, just CTRL X to cut it and then go to the folder you want it in and paste it back in. Once found then you can look at how it might have gotten there. Check your recycle bin as well but if you search your drive and its in there it ought show up in the search. Brad On 7/4/2011 03:28 PM Cliff Smales said...

Re: [Blind-Computing] mass unavailability
Risking sounding over simplistic but just to be clear. In order to find the properties of something , you have to be on the file itself as in My Documents or My Computer in Windows Explorer , or have the file open. You can find the properties of anything but you have to be on or in something. Where is it you are trying to find the properties. 99 percent of computer users don't fiddle in there for just general usage, so maybe there's another way to do what ever it is you are trying to accomplish? Can you tell me what screen you are in when you try to access the properties? Some sort of activity like the sample below would be helpful. 1. I open My Documents 2. I highlight an xls file by arrowing to it 3. I press the Apps key and arrow to properties 4. And the option is grayed out. Or In My Documents where I keep my XLS files, I've tried opening 8 different file properties and all of those file extensions have grayed out or unavailable properties. I noticed this problem a month ago after my grand kid was messing around in my file association options and I told him to get away from my computer *smile*. Some sort of additional info of where you are at in the computer is needed to help you out.

Personally unless it was something from a work project or the like that is needed. I'd not activate it. I'd also recommend if they are friends who sent it, , and its a cutsie forward or unneeded email and they've checked it out, that they do a couple scans of their computer. Not on-line scans but update their antivirus signature files/updates then scan it. And also download something like Malware Bytes and do a second scan. No one anti-virus gets all virus. Do only have one anti-virus actively running in the background though. Keep like Malware Bytes as a scan only to catch stuff your main one might tmiss.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Properties unavaiable/recovered files
When you do a search for files on the system , it will find every file with that criteria. In other words if you have a file called Cliff's Bingo Chart.xls, and you have it in your My Documents, and then maybe on a back up drive or the like, it'll find them both. One might be newer than the other depending on a backup date. If you search for Cliff's, it'll find every file with Cliff's in the name. The versions you've seen could be the recovered files in Excel which were waiting to be either saved or deleted too I suppose, I don't have any to check out. You might not be able to move those. Probably the best thing to do in that case is open the files you want to save right from the search results area and then just do a Save As... and put them where you want. FYI to verify, I successfully tested moving a file within the search results area to a different spot in My Documents by arrowing to it within the search results, , pressing Alt Enter to look at the properties to find out where it was located. **You'll need to Jaws/Review cursor to find the location in the properties area unless there's a hot key , I just Jaws cursor.** Once I found out where it was located I made note of it, pressed Escape, made sure it was highlighted in the results area again. pressed Ctrl X, went into My Documents and pasted with Ctrl V to a different spot. Then verified in Windoes Explorer it was in fact gone from the original spot. Brad On 7/5/2011 09:12 PM Cliff Smales said... Hello, Brad: I followed through on your advice, and the results were most interesting.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft Word 2007 and envelopes
Depending on the printer and how it feeds the envelope. Yes print on a sheet of regular paper and if it starts printing right off without a bit of feed time you know it is printing the return address first, which would give you the orientation of the envelope, top to the left. If there's a bit of time feeding before it prints, then it is printing the mailing address first, making it top to the right.. Brad On 7/6/2011 08:39 PM Tom Vos said... Kathy, You could simply use a sheet of paper to print the envelope information, then have a sighted person help you figure out which is the right way. On My HP printer, I put the envelope in the bypass, so that it is properly centered, face up, with the top of the envelope to the left. This works well. Incidentally, when I tell it to print, an HP menu comes up for which I have to switch to the JAWS cursor, and hit the space bar,. Then I can go back to the PC cursor.

[Blind-Computing] Win7 Sound option gone?
Stil figuring out Win7 a bit here. I wanted to disable a playback option in Win 7's Sound applet in Control Panel because I believe I inadvertently picked it for NVDA to use, which is now silent because I'm not sure that integrated sound device is really turned on. So rather than that happening again, I went into Sound, to the Playback tab, and disabled the ATI option there. Much to my surprise it just disappeared from the list rather than hang around as a disabled option. Any clue how to get this back on the playback listing without doing a system restore?

Re: [Blind-Computing] WIFI Password
Net Gear, at least here I think had default log in info of admin as username and password is password. Could have been just the password with an empty user too I can't recall. You ought find that with a Google bit. Either way when you do get logged in I'd highly recommend changing those. I know of no default pass key for security (WPA, WPA2, etc.). Once you log on the router though just go to the wireless setting that is not in the advanced area, if there are two of them there. Pick the WPA2, put in your pass key, writing it down someplace for future 'smile', and hit OK and you'll be good to go. For additional security you can hide the broadcast of your wireless network and filter out any devices/computers from accessing your network, or help anyway, with MAC address filtering.

Of course, if you don't have the log on information for the router, then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do except reset the router to it's factory defaults, Google the default Username and password, and reset all of the Usernames and passwords again. You can do this by taking a unbent paper clip, and sticking into the reset hole on the outside of the router's case. Just make sure you select the WPA2 encryption, as WEP is way too easy to crack.

I wonder if anyone else has this issue. I can't say when this started or if it was even always there on this newer machine. I'm using Wind 7, 64 bit and Office 2010. The issue is often, but not always, when I copy something to the clipboard while in Word, the computer just hangs for about ten seconds. I thought it maybe it was scanning or something. I thought maybe some sort of virus too, but I run McAffy and Malware Bytes, and though I see this happened similar to others on a Google search, I didn't' see a definite solution, at least not one I was willing to go clicking around the net on unknown domains for supposed fixes. Is there some sort of clipboard setting I can't find to shut something off? I don't' know if it is Office clipboard or Windows clipboard but I suspect Office clipboard. I see clipboard items in my system tray as well. I did use the apps key and clicked stop collecting which seemed to help temporarily, but I see they're back now.

[Blind-Computing] Firefox older version/Google Chrome
I'm having issues with the latest Firefox getting hung up with Jaws. Once and a while refreshing the screen will work, but not always. This has been the case for a couple versions but worse the most recent one in the last couple days. Especially when entering edit field, it just bobbles back and forth and won't advance to other fields. Anyone got a version about a year old? Also is Google Chrome reasonably accessible?

Re: [Blind-Computing] MS Word 2010 text missing letters as I type
For a simple try, I'd plug in a different keyboard and see if that helps. Double spacing can happen if changed in the Style settings under the Home tab. I have had this too when posting to a list, all spaces become double, but not on all lists. In that case it is a conversion issue. Word is kind of known for messing things up that way when pasting/posting. It could be your keyboard with sticking keys, and you pressed a hot key unknowingly. Worth trying a different keyboard unless you are using a mechanical one now, they have far less issues.

I'm using Win 7, MS Word 2010, and JAWS 12. I'm an accurate typist. When reviewing text I have typed using Word 2010 and JAWS 12, there are frequent words that have a letter missing. For example, catg, may show up as, ct, or the word typed as, me, may show up as, m, with the letter e missing. I make the spelling corrections, but when I send a finished text article to my sighted sister, via Outlook 2012 for posting on internet, she gets it with spelling mistakes, also sometimes with changes in font style, and with some double spacing she cannot correct. Never had this trouble with prior systems, XP and before, Word 2003 and before. Seems my problem starts with using JAWS 12 and Word 2010. Any suggestions? Really would appreciate help since I write articles for posting at least once a week. Many thanks in advance for suggestions.

[Blind-Computing] Ed Sharp and Jaws
I'm testing out the text editor Ed Sharp. When I do a spell check on it, there are times it will just take out Jaws. I've narrowed it down to it happening when I tab to see the suggested correction. If I Alt Tab off the checker, or minimize, I'll get speech back but not right away. Sometimes I've got to close Word to get it back, because Ed Sharp uses Word's spell checker. Does anyone use Ed Sharp and have suggestion or similar issue? I'd thought of uninstalling and reinstaling it, and opting out of the scripts that come with it. Thanks.

[Blind-Computing] Baffling security message
I have two questions per the below. Using Jaws 14, Win 7, and G-Data Internet Security; I'd recently been periodically hearing a help balloon say, G-data Internet Security is not running click here to start G-Data Internet Security. I get same, but not all the time, with Windows Defender, though I had that turned off because of G-Data running, an dit is indeed off. I've had my wife look at the status icons of G-Data and it shows on, I look in the system tray and I get options of disable firewall, disable virus protection, etc. so I assume it is on. I've looked in the process and services running and the firewall and G-Data scan is running. I've looked in msconfig and G-Data is set to start at start up. So I asume it's up and running as it should. Unless for some reason as with other programs, when they are busy Windows 7, which is classic for me anyway, will mis inform a program is not running, when in fact it is just under heavy load at the time, such as Quickbooks when backing up. G-Data goes out to the net and checks for virus updates every 45-minutes or so, and though I haven't connected that dot yet, but I wonder if that is why? How can I access or click this help balloon before it disappears, I've tried to find it but maybe there's a Jaws hot key? Any clues to why this message?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Google Chrome question
Thanks for your reply. Part of the problem though of running older browsers is vulnerability to security issues. My last computer found its death by nasties that got in, not necessarily form a browser security hole. At any rate I'm not too in favor of leaving any holes if possible, even at the cost of some accessibility. Firefox works some of the time without hanging, but it's unpredictable. I could try looking to see if I missed removing any add-ons other than my security software add-ons and see if that helps. I actually used Chrome today to finish placing my on-line business orders and it ran flawlessly ;D. Very responsive and stable. Explorer crashed no less than 5-times in a half an hour. I use to swear by Firefox, my wife too. She was directed by the IT department at work to use Chrome as it is the most secure and stable at this point. Granted she is sighted, but I know there are folks using screen readers with Chrome, apparently successfully.

Using Jaws 14.x and Windows 7, is there a way to get Jaws to read the screen using a Jaws cursor in Google Chrome? I had the same issue with Firefox, but it's pretty much history for me at least until bugs are worked out, so I don't much care at the moment. Any help on Chrome tweaks or tips are greatly appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Google Chrome question
Sounds good Greg. If I can get the Jaws cursor to read the screen as well, I think it'll work just fine.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Google Chrome question
Thanks, I do have it and occasionally use it. I'm just not familiar with it's keystrokes for power use on a daily basis, and of course it is quite different than Jaws, but yes, I've given it it thought. I've also donated to them which I encourage others to do as well. It's gotten me out of a number of screen reader jams.
